Yes, Crimson and VdGG are my favorite three of these six, and since two of them are together that group gets my vote (Yes and Crimson)

I'll go with a rapid math solution ^^ Yes 7.5/10 + Crimson 9.5/10 = 17/20 Floyds 9/10 + Camel 7/10 = 16/20 Genesis 9.5/10 + VdGG 9.5/10 = 19/20 ------------- "If a man is not willing to take some risk for his opinions, either his opinions are no good or he is no good" |

I was reminded of this with another poll pitting Genesis, Yes and Camel in a horse race. I found it tough before with this poll so didn't vote and still find it tough. It's fun to see Mandie's pregnant avatar and sig pic again. My three favourites in the poll are Van der Graaf Gnerator, King Crimson and Pink Floyd, and I like Genesis, Camel and Yes about equally. Hmm, today I vote for Pink Floyd and Camel. Of tracks, I'd rather listen to "Atom Heart Mother" and "The Embryo" along with "Nimrodel/ The Procession/ The White Rider" and "La Princesse Perdue". That band combo works very well, but in fact they all do. Smart combinations, I think. ------------- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - Various music I am very into: a youtube playlist with two tracks per act |

Oh, this is old one (quite odd it´s still available). Anyway, really wasn´t here in 2011, so voted now. Floyd is my fav from these, but Camel really doesn´t. So it´s Yes & KC.

Genesis is my favorite of these, and I respect VDGG enough, even having only heard two or three of their albums, that Genesis and Floyd take it by a narrow margin. Yes And King Crimson come real darn close though I think Camel is just okay. ------------- Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me.
