Has to be Can, their output in the early to mid-70s is just faultless. Soft Machine, Hawkwind, Henry Cow and King Crimson give them a run for their money though.

Am I really generic and uncreative if I say Pink Floyd here?

Oh well.

Tull needs more albums listed here. My Tull essential listening list would have to also include "Minstrel," "Songs from the Wood," "Heavy Horses" & "Storm Watch." It's a long list, but I think they are absolutely all essential. Tull was almost flawless in the 70's.

I begrudgingly omitted "Benefit," "Warchild," and "Too Old," but the rest are critical.

I have to admit, I have a soft spot for 70s genesis, even though not many have voted for them. Maybe it's because they were my introduction to symphonic prog, earning that special place in my heart.

Have you heard his album Extrapolation? That's probably my favourite McLaughlin.

Just wondering where Kansas is? Progressive rock was never really mentioned much as a genre until Kansas appeared. If my memory serves me right. Which is less and less frequent these days. I think we called it Album Oriented Rock in the late 60's early 70's. With the exceptions such as the Moody Blues, and ELP. Pink Floyd was actually referred to as Acid Rock, and eerie on acid.

I don't know anymore, but, ELO might fit this category as well. Oh well.

One vote for Kansas.

peace

I'm woven in a fantasy
I can't believe the things I see
The path that I have chosen
Has led me to a wall
And with each passing day
I feel a little more
Like something dear was lost

It rises now before me
A dark and silent barrier between
All I am
And all that I would ever want to be
It's just a travesty
Towering
Marking off the boundaries my spirit
Would erase

To pass beyond is what I seek
I fear that I may be too weak
And those are few
Who've seen it through
To glimpse the other side
The promised land is waiting
Like a maiden
That is soon to be a bride

The moment is a masterpiece
The weight of indecision's in the air
It's standing there
The symbol and the sum of all that's me
It's just a travesty
Towering
Blocking out the light and blinding me
I want to see

Gold and diamonds cast a spell
It's not for me, I know it well
The riches that I seek
Are waiting on the other side
There's more that I can measure
In the treasure of the love that I can find

And though it's always been with me
I must tear down the wall and let it be
All I am
And all that I was ever meant to be
In harmony
Shining true and smiling back
At all who wait to cross
There is no loss

The greatest song of all time. IMHO.
