IMO these are the 10 essential prog bands (in order of best to worst IMO):
Rush
Jethro Tull
Yes
Genesis
Van der Graaf Generator
ELP
Pink Floyd
King Crimson
Camel (haven't heard much, but like what I hear)
Gentle Giant (see comments on Camel)
Anyway I think these ten bands should be the standard 'Big 10' as opposed to all these big threes and sixes. Put them in order of your preference.

Totally agree with your last sentence.

If I could pick outside your list and include anyone that appears on this site I would definitely add-Supertramp, Queen, Radiohead, Crack the Sky and maybe Spock's Beard. Oh and Renaissance, too.

One likes to believe
In the freedom of music
But glittering prizes
And endless Compromises
Shatter the illusion
Of integrity
