Kansas is actually one of the few core "American progressive rock" bands from the early 70s.

Other popular American progressive rock bands were mainly during the mid to late 70s. Styx, Journey, Foreigner (British-American) and Boston. These bands were more pop rock orientated than the earlier core progressive rock bands like Yes, Rush, and so on.

These bands, beside British bands like Jethro Tull, Supertramp and ELO, all demonstrated a prog rock influence and while ranking among the most commercially successful acts of the 1970s.

I don't know necro. You're from Athens. I remember Athens. Vaguely. I went to school there I think:) I remember two things. South greens and halloween:)

Your post sounds like it came straight out of Rolling Stone. You missed your calling. You should be a critic. Good post.

peace

Holy crap - I'm the only Hawkwind?! I guess these guys were recommended to me and really served as one of the major bands that caused me to seek out better music...but wow. They're really fantastic.

^ I would have voted Hawkwind if Pink Floyd, Yes, and Can weren't on the poll.

I think it's natural .. Those who know Premiata probably got into them somewhat late in their prog exploration and, when asked what their favourite 70s prog band of all time is, people tend to vote/mention/think of bands they have a long history with.

It's not my favourite prog band right now, but I still went with Pink Floyd in this poll. Even if I don't listen to them as much as I used to, it's the band I've been a fan of the longest.

Emerson, Lake and Palmer then Yes, Manfred Mann's Earth Band and Wigwam.

I like almost all of the songs on their first 5 albums, which adds up to be 41 different songs, some over 9 minutes long. I had never heard of Can until recently but they seem a bit overrated as all their songs sound the same. Every band i've listened to until now has been a phase. I still love KC and Yes but i guess i played them out. This is my first time on this forum but I was surprised to find that some people actually liked King Crimsons later stuff. I personally thought that In the Court of the Crimson King was there only truly good album and the rest paled in comparison.
Agreed, but where are you now?

Last year i would've picked Pink Floyd but after hearing everything Genesis did from 68-87 I was completely blown away with every album. :) They took progressive rock to another level & exceeded in that genre like no other, I'mma have to give it to them they deserve it. there is no concept album better than "The Lam Lies Down on Broadway" not even "The Wall" can touch that masterpiece. :)

Easely Pink Floyd.
