Imagine a band called 'NO'. And they are the warm up band for YES. The announcer says, "Everybody give it up for NO! And the crowed replies Yessss! The announcer gets frustrated and says NO! . But the crowd replies Yesssss! Eventually the band, NO, doesn't get to come on stage. Sadly enough, the band 'NO' never makes it into the big times.

Definitely, what would prog rock be without ELP! They set the highest of standards in prog rock. Greg lake is probably the best rock singer and seemed like the best best rock guitarist of his time. And for Keith Emerson, he was definitely the greatest rock pianist ever and a titan compared to everyone else.

twistedplums They have not done a prog metal list, or at least not a video. Regardless of their choices (which are chosen by the sheep who vote for this crap), they stated it's both rock and metal. So, the best of BOTH genres should be chosen. Opeth is THE best progressive metal band. That is not arguable.

Opeth tries to copy all the seventies band and yet people think they are giants. Opeth should keep doing one thing at a time, trying to play prog and death at the same time doesn't work for them anymore with their mild approach. If they stick to prog rock which most people do not know what it is then the band will certainly release something close to Selling England by the Pound or Starless.

Top four in any order: Yes, ELP, Tull, Floyd, then King Crimson, Genesis, etc. Yes, I'm an old guy in my late 60's, so I saw 'em all in concert. But I can understand how Tool and others are favorites of people younger than me. I've never been able to acquire what I know is near-universal love for Geddy Lee. Everyone to their own taste, of course.

DX7036 Cream are an early example of really professional jazz/blues/pop musicians coming together and making something new, heavy, original and unique. I'm not even discussing their musicianship. Ginger Baker - one of the first drummers to have a second bass drum. Cream were taking music loudness to a completely different level: it's one thing when you play a musically complex composition with a standard (of the time) rock equipment, it's a completely different experience when you attack the audience with a million Watts of sound, produced by (the newly emerged) Marshalls. And Jack Bruce's compositions were really complex, multilayered, filled with irregular rhytms.... Cream may be perceived as "just that 60s hippie band", but they are more prog than some of the bands on this list.

Genesis, Yes, Jethro Tull, ELP, and Pink Floyd are English. Rush are Canadian. So obviously Obi Wan needs to put down the light saber and study up a bit before posting. Sadly, the US really didn't have any major entries in the original flowering of Prog. We had psychedelia of course, which has various similarities, but it's not the same. Some things that, say, The Doors did were very close to progressive rock. Zappa, who was mentioned here, I don't consider progressive rock either. He was sort of his own complete universe really. For a brief period there Styx was almost a serious prog rock band, though closer to pop-prog. Ultimately, most of the later US bands that some would call prog are not in my opinion, they are more metal than prog. Tool I'll give a pass, though they are extremely heavy most of the time as well.

In some Watchmojo lists, they clearly don't know the definition of a band. I facepalm so hard sometimes. Also, I don't really like Dream Theatre. Finally, I don't see how you can put Emerson, Lake and Palmer only two spots behind King Crimson (who should at least be in the top 3). Emerson, Lake and Palmer wouldn't exist without King Crimson!

I can't for the life of me fathom why anyone would want to illustrate the best progressive rock bands in history with so much footage of those bands' largely unrepresentative pop songs, as demonstrated by many of the tracks selected to showcase Genesis, ELP and Yes, for example. It's quite bizarre that the compiler couldn't find more progressive examples to truly reflect those bands' music.
