2. Genesis
3. PinkFloyd
4. Sigur Ros
5. Gong
6. Led Zeppelin
7. Steve Hillage
8. Rush

1) Early Queen (Queen (debut) - A Day At The Races)
2) Coheed & Cambria
3) Pink Floyd
4) Yes
5) Early Genesis (Foxtrot is the only thing I've heard, but I can tell the early stuff is good)

Aww, don't say that, you have everything from heavy to pure prog to eclectic and neo in there. Plus, this is the first time I come across a band called Deadsoul Tribe! Must look them up 
The thread may have been done to death on the forum over the years but I also think that it's nice to see so many recently registered members kind of gather in a thread of their own. Welcome to all and sundry, hope you stick around and eventually get to know prog beyond the more well-known bands. The big ones are always worth a listen but there is also great delight in finding the more hidden gems...
Some of my favs:
Porcupine Tree
Yes
Pain Of Salvation
Rush
Genesis
VDGG/Peter Hammill
Can
Caravan + the rest of the Canterbury stuff
