Rush

70%

Marillion

65%

King Crimson

65%

Pink Floyd

30%

Jethro Tull

ELP (Emerson, Lake & Palmer)

Ha-ha! That horoscope comment of yours certainly hit the nail on the head!

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..)

You Scored as Yes

Try 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

Tsk! Mary Lion and Floyd should be swapped  - Yes and 'Elp too - happy with PG at the top though

You Scored as Pink Floyd

Try some of the great albums of Pink Floyd. Some of their famous (concept) albums are The Dark Side Of The Moon, and The Wall. Pink Floyd started as a psychedelic 60's band, but got more serious along the way. In the early 70's the music was laidback and dreamy, with much organ by Rick Wright, but later Roger Waters (bassist + singer) gave the band another direction. It was more guitar based and serious. Roger Waters was very critical to all the great leaders too!
