Well, if you're into flute rock there's no better band than Jethro Tull.

Not a huge fan of either, but YES gets the nod from me.  The gay ass flute solos just dont do it for me.

Ditto. Prog rock was never a genre I got into - too much self-indulgency, tricky time signature changes, etc. I do have Fragile, tho, in my collection, somewhere. Must be 15+ years since I last played it.

 Both great unique bands. Jon Anderson s vocals get on my nerves after awhile though. My vote goes for Genesis with Peter Gabriel. After Gabriel left they were just another pop group albeit a successful one

Wouldnt call Pink.Floyd progressive rock any more than i would call Radiohead prog rock....just great rock bands that push the sonic envelope. But "they" classify them prog rock because they didnt sound like Zeppelin.

King Crimson is definitley "prog rock" ....which is actually jazz/rock fusion which was pioneered by Jeff Beck and Jan Hammer on "blow by blow" and "wired". I would not say they are underrated. Maybe by Joe Neckbone who thinks "Freebird" is awesome, but not by people who know music. Robert Fripp is retarded.

The only good thing about Tull is that Cyrus P. Falconer likes them.

Agree. Would put them in the psychedelic rock/rock camp.
