 JW>I agree on both counts! Best Beatle album, Sgt. Peppers, best of all
 JW>time, "Dark Side..."   I still have to say that the best band, at least
 JW>in the Progressive sense, is a three way tie between The Beatles, Pink
 JW>Floyd and, well.. "Yes." (People think I'm crazy because of that last
 JW>one.)
 MD> 
 MD> Crazy?  "Yes" is the only band of the three you mentioned that truely
 MD> fit the definition of progressive rock.  The Beatles & Floyd are much
 MD> too mainstream to fit the hardcore prog-rock defintion, though they
 MD> were/are both very influential on many prog-rock artists.  Not that
 MD> the Beatles & Pink didn't make good music, they made very good music,
 
The Beatles basically invented ProgRock...no matter how you look at it...
And Pink Floyd is every bit as progressive as Yes in my book, and I'm a huge
fan of both bands...actually, I like Yes better than Pink Floyd, but you
also have to think about the last few Yes albums...don't sound all that
progressive to me.  Starting with the incredibly pop "Owner of a Lonely 
eart"
 
Sure Pink Floyd had their "hits", such as "Another Brick In the Wall P.2",
"Time", "Money", "Comfortably Numb", etc...but so did Yes:
"Roundabout", "Your Move/I've Seen all Good People", etc...
