It's a little hard for me to call Radiohead's style of music "prog rock." But I can see it for OKC, what with the common prog messages of psychological topics. Prog rock messages are describes as "having to do with fantasy, folklore, or psychological theories." Source: Wikipedia. I'd say that those messages are Dream Theater and Pink Floyd and Genesis all over.

That's why we needed a seperate thread for newbies only.

I like Radiohead, and I wouldn't be surprised if they won, given the number of fans. Still, Pink Floyd has as many fans, and they are "classic," so I'd say Floyd has a slightly larger chance. It might've helped if we just excluded the two from the poll, because the chances of them winning are too high.

I'm just gonna list my top 5 prog bands:

Pink Floyd
Dream Theater
Rush
Moody Blues
Radiohead

Alright, I'm starting the new poll with the list from before, and I'm including Muse and Radiohead.
When I make the poll, the link will be below:

Aren't we sticking with the classics? If you wanna start a new thread about the newbies, that would work. And as a joke, call it Part 2 like with Dream Theater's prog album Metropolis Part 2.

I kind of want to lump them all together, you know, so we can see who the best is overall.

I suppose that's not the meaning of "pave the way" and also Dream Theater's 1992 album went gold. I won't argue against the main point about OK Computer bringing prog to the mainstream though, 'cause that's plain wrong.

I know what you were thinking, but I do know that Dream Theater's debut came out before Radiohead's. I'm just saying, many people (including people that I know) were introduced to the world of prog rock through OK Computer. (Of course, that's obviously not the only effect that OK Computer had on the music industry.)

Guys, I'm thinking of abandoning this thread for a more improved poll with more options. One last thing before I do this, do you think that Radiohead or Muse could be considered prog? They were heavily influenced by Can (Radiohead) and I think that OK Computer paved the way for bands like Dream Theater and Porcupine Tree. Also, the next poll will involve all eras of prog, not just the "classic" one. Here's my new and improved list:

Pink Floyd
Rush
Genesis/ Peter Gabriel
Yes
King Crimson
Jethro Tull
Emerson, Lake, and Palmer
Frank Zappa/ The Mothers of Invention
Can
The Moody Blues
Gentle Giant
Caravan
Gong
Electric Light Orchestra
Marillion
Dream Theater
Porcupine Tree
The Mars Volta
Muse (?)
Radiohead (?)

Let me know what you think.

Controversial opinion I know but this would be a candidate for greatest prog rock track of all time.

Sorry, but you just can't beat "Supper's Ready".

In terms if talent I choose Yes, instrumentation in CTTE is mind-blowing.

as talented as Yes were, I think King Crimson were he most technically skilled of them all.
