Favorite 'Big Six' Prog Band

[Jairo]

Well, I agree with Moondog here, if it comes to only one I would have to choose GENESIS, followed real close by Yes and King Crimson... and ELP, Pink FLoyd and Jethro right behind them.... of course I would throw Gentle Giant,  PFM and early Queen to the mix.. just as bonus bands

[Roland]

A day late and a dollar short, but I'm going to jump on board with the lone vote for Jethro Tull.  They get my vote for two reasons:

1) They're one of my big three (Yes, Rush, Tull).

2) People have been ragging on them.  

Ian Anderson is probably my favorite vocalist, too.  Nyah!

[Shawn]

Yes... Yes!!  DLBN speaks and the Genesis joy is felt!  Long Live Genesis!!!

[Close2 The Edge]

Yes... Yes!!  DLBN speaks and the Genesis joy is felt!  Long Live Genesis!!!

Better watch out, ELP is catching up.....

oh oh   mmm its hard 2 chose one band....:O i luved yes till the moment i heard them, but crimson...is so perfect and quite crazy, that surounds me so deeply   lol....ELP, omg! great performance and vocals...mmmm

genesis, yeap defenitely good...but the problem 2 choose would b between these 3  
well.....
....my vote goes 2 KC

I went with Pink Floyd, with Yes as a close second.  Of course, if Rush was on the list...

[BB_Lamour]

How impossible was this answer?  I voted for Yes because they were the doorway into prog-rock for me when my older brother gave me hand-me-down copies of Yessongs and Relayer.  But in the intervening years, I have come to love the others on the list just as much.  So maybe I should have voted King Crimson since they are my fave from the list right now.

Anyway, suffice to say that I wholeheartedly agree with the list itself.

aaaahhhh too bad it could not have been the big 7 with RUSH my favorite band included.
For the poll some good choices but I have to pick YES.

[Oberon]

I voted for King Crimson (all of it, not just the 60s-70s stuff)

I have that book too!

[axess]

Hey everyone, I just had to vote for Pink Floyd. It would have been Peter Gabriels Genesis but Phil Collins pop trio spoiled that band for me  . Since I've found the station (Hooray) I'm hearing some amazing things, so now that PF are on the way out Dividing Line is filling my ears with King Crimson. I had only heard 'In the court of ...' before. Mmm, can I change my vote later?

[PaisleyBud]

All great bands but only King Crimson is truly progressive. All the rest became something else. Still love them but they moved away from Progressive.
