I'm sorry I just can't chose, King Crimson stood out then I noticed Jethro Tull in the list and so on..

I picked Pink Floyd, but I also love Queen.

Pink Floyd, lot's of great ones listed though.

I voted King Crimson, but I nearly went for Camel just on the merits of Andrew Latimer's godly guitar work on "Ice" from I Can See Your House From Here (or everything from Moonmadness and The Snow Goose for that matter). :afro:

I am so pissed I picked King Crimson over Mahavishnu Orchestra and VDGG. King Crimson is so vanilla compared to other great prog bands.

I see all the argument over Queen, and they totally fit on the list. At least until The Game. A great album, but definitely the turning point towards a more Pop sound. Either way, they didn't get my vote. I love 'em, but I love Rush more... and Yes... and Pink Floyd... and, well, most of them. I think Return To Forever should be on there, as well. Those guys may have been instrumental, but I challenge you to find a more talented collective of musicians... ANYWHERE.

I just picked Jethro Tull because I like them at the moment. I could've gone with Pink Floyd or King Crimson.

Other than that, I'll say I think the list is missing some. For example, I would like to see Alan Parsons Project and possibly Soft Machine on the list, although I'm not sure if many would agree. :p

Edit :

Hmm, I'm a little confused about Kraftwerk. What are they doing on the list? Is it because of their first two albums (as Kraftwerk)?

I realize I'm the only one who's going to pick Gentle Giant, and truth is they only had one amazing song that I recall, but if I picked Pink Floyd, I'd be like everyone else : D

Listen to Three Friends, the song (not the entire album necessarily).

Torn between Yes and Queen.

Went with Yes just because Rick Wakeman is the king of keyboards. Amazing.
