You Scored as YesTry some Yes
(The Yes Album, Fragile and Close To The Edge). Yes is one of the few
very popular prog rock bands of the 70's, their music is a complex mix
of a great rhythm section and whirling guitars and mellotrons. The
lyrics are very very complex, consisting entirely of metaphores and
other philisophic things. Roundabout is one of their best known songs
The "metaphors and other philosophic things" bit made me giggle. And 100% Yes! I guess I just couldn't resist the capes

You Scored as Genesis
Try some music from genesis! Genesis didn't mind getting very unpopular by the people, because their own weird style of music. Singer Peter Gabriel was very nervous when playing for great audiences, so he weared masks. Their live shows were not very different from their studio songs, but with masks and drama, their shows were unforgetable! Try the albums Foxtrot or Selling England By The Pound

Ha-ha! That's still extremely unimpressive. Sounds like you got a just as random result as I did. I'm certain I ended up with with ELP which is the only real classic band I can't stand (not counting Rush and Marillion, as they don't belong among them) on top because I totally agreed with these two: - Classical music is stil not dead! (Of course it isn't, but I think ELP got very close to killing it) - Some keyboards can perfectly replace a guitar (VdGG, Soft Machine mm..)

 Erm...
Yeah...
I guess you're right. Sensible comment. 
For one moment I sounded like one of those people who buys himself (or herself) a fancy magazine, and immediately check his / her horoscope. It always fits, for some part!
Completely random, that's hitting the nail on the head

Pink Floyd is right, but the rest os a load of rubbish, I love Marillion, King Crimson and Genesis way more than that. and the opposit is true of Rush and ELP

You Scored as King Crimson
Try King Crimson(the classic album is The Court Of The Crimson King, sometimes called the first real prog rock album). Their music is sometimes similar to symphonic rock, and is very mellotron dominated. They did some nice psychedelic, jazzy, dreamy jams too. Singer Greg Lake left soon to form ELP (also an outcome of this quiz), but King Crimson went on to made even more brilliant albums.

Don't know what happened here because I'm far from a KC fan. If I switch them with Rush it would be quite ok. So I'm not too ethusiastic about this test although the questions were interesting.

Well, they got Pink Floyd right, but why are Jethro Tull so low on everyone's lists? Tull and Floyd are definitely my two favourites.

This is actually remarkably accurate, except for the fact that I have never heard a Marillion album and would rate Yes above rush.

"You Scored as Genesis"
^ ^ ^ fair enough, but the questions in the quiz are so loaded as to be laughable - of course
My own personal ratings would be:
