It all depends on how you define popular.....................VDGG were not as popular as ELP, who were a giant in prog, but didn't sell as many albums as Floyd.......is it personal choice or is it real popularity...then a different picture would show. Just asking.

If I had a free choice, Gryphon, Strawbs and Renaissance would be in the top10.
I would add PFM to the list!
