 Uhhh, that's what the topic of the thread is, what prog band was most representative of the 70s. You said Pink Floyd because they were the most well known.
 
popularity is but one aspect of being what the most "representative' Band would be, but not the only factor. Your post clearly stated that Pink Floyd was because they were the most well known.
 
Unless you are just engaging in some kind of bizarre circular logic exercise.

Thanks!

Very interesting discussion between Dr. Prog, Cacho and Ivan Melgar. IMO you both are right. Your argumentations are equally valid. It depends on the definition of  the word "representative". Remember there's no an universal truthWink. Sorry... there's only ONE universal truth: PROG forever, LOL.

Jethro Tull for me, one of the most polished , chalenging and inteligent prog band ever. In the '70's they released an album every year so was very prolific either, so a top band and  top musicians.

Hi,

The most REPRESENTATIVE prog band is definently ELP, in it's short peak period, few years, it represented everything progressive rock was in seventies.

Yes, there were pf, genesis, yes. Still for seventies it should be ELP.

Well, it seems that most part of the people interested in that poll has voted. So, I'll reveal my opinions now:
When I set up the poll, I thought Pink Floyd would be the winner. And Genesis the second. No surprise, then. But I thought there would be more difference between them. Surprisingly for me, ELP has not reached the third place. Yes beat ELP by far.
A curiosity: according to your posts, it seems that Pink Floyd is the indisputed number one in non-english language countries, while Genesis and Yes perform better in USA and UK.
 
But there's still room to change all these firsts impressionsWink...
