Do Prog bands create the best instrumentals? (lyrics, singer, bass)

You defenders of Classical need to remember, that many of those composers would be considered "progressive" musicians of their time. So, technically, I think you could be justified in including them. That's MY opinion, anyhow. But yes, Prog has the best instrumentals. Especially when you include "progressive" instrumental Jazz/Fusion bands, like RETURN TO FOREVER. Very "Prog" in style.

But for the traditional Prog Rock bands...

EMERSON, LAKE & PALMER
RUSH
ALAN PARSONS PROJECT

Each of those have too many great instrumental tracks to mention them by name.

Hmm, maybe you can send one of those? I'll give it a listen soon.

You should just get the 2 CD "Anthology" disc that came out, earlier this year. It has the ENTIRE "ROMANTIC WARRIOR" album, plus all the crucial tracks from the four albums that were done by the core quartet. It'll blow your friggin' mind.
