I voted for Genesis, at one time or another I was interested in Pink Floyd and Yes. Yes is a band of extraordinary talent and I like Yes and I don't want to sound like I am knocking them, but in my opion their songs are just a means to showcase their virtuosity, it is like a revolving door of solos, while with Genesis, it all about the song. Steve Hackett is not your typical blues-based guitarist during the 70's, he has an unconvential approach and Peter Gabriels singing made it the best Prog Band in the early 70's.
