1. Rush
2. Yes
(Those 2 are easy. They have been my two favorite bands forever).
These 8 are the bands that are probably my favorite at this current point in time:
3. The Flower Kings
4. Ayreon
5. Spock's Beard
6. Marillion
7. Saga
8. Porcupine Tree
9. Led Zeppelin
10. The Tangent
These 8 are probably my favorite bands from all-time versus just what I am listening to these days:
3. Led Zeppelin
4. The Beatles
5. Judas Priest
6. Van Halen
7. Def Leppard
8. Metallica
9. The Flower Kings
10. The Who
Of course, I could probably list 50 honorable mention bands/artists. I wonder how these compare to the last time I listed top 10 bands. The well known fact is that these are subject to change on a daily basis.

Ok here's the real list: - Magma
- Pat Metheny Group
- Genesis
- Änglagård
- Gentle Giant
- King Crimson
- Jethro Tull
- Peter Gabriel
After that, there's just a huge list of equal bands and composers. A lot of the bands in that puddle of bands are only not on the above list because I don't know enough by them. (Henry Cow, for example: Western Culture blew me away, but that's all I know by them at this point.)

For rock/pop (I exclude the Beatles from any top ten list, they are a given)
1.Iron Maiden
2.Mike Oldfield and Julian Lennon (tied)
3. Pink Floyd
4. Savatage
5. King Crimson
6 .Amorphis
7. Helloween
8. New Order
9. OMD
10.Rush
If I included other genres other than rock/pop the list would look different but I do not feel inclined to do that.
Edit. Reniassanse, how could I ever forget they are tied for # two
