Who published these, Mike? It's not a bad list, but I may have swapped the order somewhat.

That list does of course make Genesis the best prog rock band in the world . But as they are the best band in the world ever , that was a given.  |

DQ, I'm agreeing with you for once :-) Genesis were one of the best bands in the world, not just one of the best prog bands in the world. I wouldn't go quite as far as to say they are the best band in the world, that plaudit is clearly held by The E Street Band and isn't up for debate ;-) |

I own just 3 of those (Aqualung, Lizard and Hot Rats) but if Hot Rats qualifies as Prog, so does the Ramones first album, Beethovens 5th Symphony, and the theme tune from Postman Pat.

I am surprised to find that I have 13 of those. Several by genesis who wouldn't even make my top ten favourite bands (several leagues behind The Academy of St.Martin in the fields  Sgt Pepper - Prog Rock??? Really? Good pop I would have said. Anyway labels are a waste of time. Do we know where this list came from? Some sort of voting system by 'experts' or by the glorious public in some small, used to be important island somewhere??  |

losenot , You may just be right p.s - as a general rule , i think people who listen to classical music should be denied an opinion on rock and roll |

St pepper is a conceptual album so has a big influence on the genre I have quite a few of the CDs mentioned. Good to see bands like Opeth and Tool in the list

Pigeonholes are so limiting aren't they?
So who's the progiest of the TAS members by this definition then?
Come own up to how many of them you own!
53 for me.

They were selling it at the Cropredy festival last week. I saw parts of the list over the shoulder of a guy in the crowd as he was reading it between sets!
