Progressive rock is my favorite form of all rock and I would be interested to see the opinion of the masses on who rules the progressive domain. In my opinion it would be Yes, being one of the first bands and influencing other band, also the album Fragile, such a great album
good headphone music

Peter Gabriel was a part of Genesis for a long time so yes he and I guess the Beatles could be considered in some sense

I voted for Pink Floyd, although it was mainly for the '70-'72 stuff.
Alan Parsons
needs to be on that list, as does ELO. Or at least they diserve honorable mentions.

I'd say my favourite prog rock band would be Rush. Followed by Pink Floyd and then Yes.
I'm not a huge prog fan, mainly because 13 minute songs aren't really my preference. Still, some good stuff.

I never really considered Pink Floyd to be progressive rock, but....
I voted Rush. Yes has better lyrics overall, I think, (more 'artistic') but I get annoyed by the high-pitched tone of seemingly all their music after a while. Neil Peart is a god.
