I'm not a massive fan of prog rock, some of it is just boring BS (like Pink Floyd- technically brilliant but boring as fuck).

Jethro Tull are highly enjoyable, Yes ain't too bad either.

Dream Theater has held this title for years.

Jethro by far

Tool. Not even close.

Though, if one had to choose a second place, ELP or King Crimson.

I think you nailed it. Jethro Tull has some pretty good straight rock songs. Locomotive breath is on my gym playlist.

Ah, nothing like one song full of tricky time signatures, changeups and noodling taking up all of Side-A.

ELP, pictures at an exhibition blew my mind when I bought it in 74.

Iron Butterfly not so bad.

Moodie Blues???

Some kunts don't understand the concept of prog rock methinks.

Fates Warning long before Dream Theater. And to some extent, Queensryche, too. Although they turned to crap and have since split. We'll see which of the two bands emerges better.
