Best Prog Rock Band

[james]

I've forever been a Rush fan, but never really branched out to listen to progressive rock bands until recently. I was considering what you all believe is the following best prog musical band?

I do like a bit of rush now and again, it is only Lee's Vocals that spoil the sound. Best prog band, no contest it is Yes.

The initial spark was The Beatles (Tomorrow Never Knows, Strawberry Fields, I am The Walrus, Eleanore Rigby), and The Moody Blues...

 

[Stuart]

The Beatles take a lot of 'inspirational' credit but I think it's pushing it a bit far to give them credit for inspiring the Genre that is Prog Rock. As for the Moody Blues, well the clue is in the name really.

Emerson, Lake and Palmer; King Crimson, The Moody Blues, Jethro Tull, Renaissance, Marillion, Gentle Giant, Gong, PFM.

I love Jethro Tull but, everyone else on the list makes phenomenal music.
