Apart from Tarkus I'm not a fan of ELP at all. Nor am I keen on Jon Anderson's voice, so don't listen to Yes much.

And all Prog Metal is rubbish.

I'll have to go with Pain of Salvation. I've tried numerous times but their sound is so bitterly grating or boringly melodic to my distaste.

Nice sweeping statement there, backed up by examples, discussions, rebuttals and ... oh wait...

ELP are my favourite band and I like Jon Anderson's voice a lot. It doesn't mean I like everything by him (Yes Tor-mato, Open Your Eyes album, parts of Big Generator).

I don't care for prog-metal (whatever it is), but I do like Dream Theater, who seem to be labelled as such. Power-metal doesn't do much for me either.

I've always found John Martyn very difficult.

I love how people make statements like this and don't back it up with a reason.

Really? I've found most PT albums to have a wide range of style, almost to a fault in some albums (like In Absentia.) What have you heard from them?

One band that just do not get is King Crimson. In the Court has 21st Century Schizoid Man and Epitaph, which I really enjoy, but the rest of the album doesn't do it for me (in fact I think I mentioned once that I thought it should've been an EP; most people disagreed to say the least lol.) I find Lizard to be rather dull and tiresome and I can't stand Red. Seriously, why "Starless" receives the universal praise that it does it beyond my understanding.
Robert Fripp does have an awesome tone, though.

King Crimson are highly lauded by a lot of people mostly because they're fairly influential on a lot of experimental bands that got started in the late 70's and the 80's. That, and Discipline was an excellent prog. rock/New Wave hybrid record that has stood the test of time incredibly well.
