Pink Floyd

Tull was the best performer ever rush ok but no talent like the lead playing a flute and can get into your head without know what you are on. He is like good art the eyes follow you everywhere.

Roger Waters is on line one. He would like a word with you.

One song title- Dust in the wind.

Porcupine Tree

Kansas-Carry on my Wayward Son--I'm a wayward son.

Word? He's waiting to kick some ass.

King's X!!!!!!!!

I love Supertramp with the undying passion of a seven-year-old who thought "Take the Long Way Home" was the greatest song she's ever heard, and am properly ashamed of this fact, but it ain't prog. Well, except for "Fool's Overture."

Out of the list given, Jethro Tull would win, but come on? Everyone who said Pink Floyd is right. With honorable mentions to King Crimson and The Alan Parsons Project.

Off the beaten path: Amon Düül II, maybe Hawkwind.

I accidentally quoted myself, so I'll take this space to add Caravan. Most of their stuff is just okay, but holy crap is C'thlu Thlu a great song.

Rush is more like main-stream rock to me

Dream Theater. Nuff said.

I don't know or care what makes one "prog-rock," or any other sub-genre for that matter, but Rush is one of the greatest bands ever!

While I voted for Tull, particularly their early work, I do think Pink Floyd is the greatest rock band ever, a view shared by many of my peers. Also kudos for them acknowledging that some of their work was pure crap until they got serious.

Dream Theater - Metropolis 2: Scenes from a Memory

You'll never turn back.

1970-'77 Gentle Giant = The most talented, versatile & astounding band, prog or otherwise, ever. ELO & Supertramp = not really Prog. Caravan = Canterbury Scene.
Other great Prog bands:
Premiata Forneria Marconi (PFM), Happy the Man, Camel, Renaissance, Pierre Moerlen's Gong, Mahavishnu Orchestra. Return to Forever = Jazz/Fusion but one of the great bands of all time!

Oh, and Emerson,Lake & Palmer not even on the list???

Queen

Emerson, Lake & Palmer, DUH!

HOW IS PINK FLOYD NOT ON THIS LIST??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Sorry, but I couldn't choose. They are all great!

surprised king crimson and elp weren't on the list... also that i'm the first to bring up coheed and cambria

Coheed and Cambria.
-braces for the hate-

OH you just beat me to it! :D

Pink Floyd

Though I voted for Rush, I have to add Marillion (the early 80s stuff) to my list.

How can you not have Pink Floyd, The Who and The Rolling Stones on this list. I mean, I like Supertramp, but on this limited list? Really???

Uh Genesis anyone?

Early Genesis with Peter Gabriel

Emerson Lake & Palmer of course!

Can't choose between Kansas & Alan Parsons Project because I love them both equally.

The WHO

Pink Floyd, David Gilmour

Yes!

And there's too many to list. Genesis, Pink Floyd, and King Crimson? The fathers of prog..

Jethro Tull - Hymn 43

Emerson, Lake and Palmer. Pink Floyd is ICONIC, but is more psychedelic than prog-rock. "In The Beginning" is transcendental.

I grew up on a diet of ELP and Pink Floyd. Still have the vinyl. Added Yes later on, when I saw them live.

Please do not forget David Gilmour.Rogers can not keep up with him and has admitted it many times. Gilour still sound like floyd where Rogers sounds like a old many trying to be floyd lol

I chose Rush, cause thats the only one on the list that I know, but I'd like to change my vote for Coheed and Cambria. I like their stuff.

In the beginning there was Genesis.
