Battle of the Progressive Rock Bands Round 1...?

Oh poopies. I was actually thinking of doing one of these, but was afraid there'd be an extreme lack of answers, like in most of my questions. NOBERDY LAIK DUH SHERP.

Anywho... THE INNOVATORS The Moody Blues (na na na I prefer them progressively.) Jimi Hendrix Experience Deep Purple Black Sabbath (although I prefer Led Zep progressively!) THE FIRST WAVE Van der Graaf Generator (not too big on King Crimson; I can get into VDDG more easily) SPACE CADETS Pink Floyd (easily for me :/) SYMPHONIC PROGRESSIVE ROCK (one of my favorite sub genres) Genesis (only hard one for me so far) Gentle Giant Yes Kansas THE ODD-BALLS Jethro Tull (I'm only just being introduced to Zappa; so far, Tull surpasses Zappa IMO) SYNTH-HEAVY CROSSOVER.

For shame, indeed. :P BQ1: Pink Floyd, the greatest prog band that ever lived. BQ2: "Us and Them" EDIT: Then that's something we're not gonna agree on.

And actually, I have heard BTBAM and no, they're not my cup of tea but I do find them a lot more tolerable than Opeth. EDIT2: Oh, so they are. Forgive my word-blindness, now I feel foolish.

Sorry. ^^; And exactly, progressive DEATH metal; death metal with prog influence. In my opinion, it's not fair to pair those bands with actual progressive metal bands because it's not true progressive metal.

That's just my views, you don't have to agree and I'm not trying to be a nazi either. Just speaking my mind.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
