Favorite Progressive Rock Band

Rush

I'm not at all suprised to see that I'm the only one to mention Marillion seeing as they are a highly underrated prog band (moreso when Fish was the vocalist).

Rush, hands down....show of hands?!

King Crimson - The John Wetton era

Rush would easily get my vote if I could vote.

It was the first poll I made. Something was bound to go wrong.

OK, so it's not just me? I thought my computer was freaking out.

I guess the poll disappeared at some point in time. Feel free to chime in again, it's up and running. I definitely went with Rush. I'm not a huge progressive rock fan, but Rush is king. I do enjoy Genesis as well.

No question.

Pink Floyd

Out of the list I chose the Floyd but overall I choose Captain Beyond.

King Crimson. Of all the bands listed they are by far the most "progressive", that's not saying they are better...but so much of their music is improv and fusion based that it's just naturally undefinable.

I also think bands such as Mahavishnu Orchestra shouldn't be forgotten.

I went with other-Kansas.Also a nod to Genesis

This was diffcult choice to make but I went with Pink Floyd in the end, I think Roger Waters is a brillant songwriter as is David Gilmour, great great band and very influential.

I can't choose. This is the most interesting musical genre for me. I love Genesis, Rush, Floyd, Yes, Marillion, Saga....it's almost impossible to choose a favorite.

okay, got to vote! Rush and Pink Floyd.

Rush. Peter Gabriel era Genesis a close second.

rush and the floyd

Rush.

Sexcellent band!

floyd for me

Rush

I voted for Rush.

Off the list, Rush over Pink Floyd (I like both) - that is if we are taling jus progressive ROCK bands, if it;s metal, then Dream Theater (I am a huge fan)
