MVO was really the only jazz/fusion band that incorporated huge amounts of heavy rock in their sound imo

I'd have to go with The Pretty Things "SF Sorrow" as the best concept album

Can. I remember buying Tago Mago and was blown away.

Pink Floyd, King Crimson and Rush come to mind.

In my opinion, Pink Floyd is wonderful music but not prog.

I voted "other" for Amon Düül 11. From the bands listed, I'd either chose Yes or Can. Nice seeing Barclay James Harvest mentioned as I loved their prog-folk albums.

The five people who voted Comus are morons. They have one (albeit amazing) album.

Rude!

Not saying I voted for it, but come on man, music is subjective, maybe people really really love it.

So, I've got a question for you fellers. What 70s prog bands do you still listen to regularly?

For me, it's pretty much only Yes, Can and Gentle Giant.

I should probably revisit more Floyd, but I just don't get a hankering for it.

First Utterance is amazing. I love it so much I clean my vinyl with my jizz. But to vote Comus the best 70s prog band is retarded. They have one album.

I still remember that album as being one of the first I ever explored when I joined the forum and was trying to dabble in everything I saw. Haven't listened to it in years but I remember it being the ****. Or I wanted to be cool and convinced myself it was the ****.
