I'm noticing a  pretty loose definition of 'prog' in some posts:

Tori Amos - pop rock (despite my love for her stuff and her proggy tendencies, she's a pop artist)
Residents - please
XTC - pop, alternative (again, my love for this band can't sway the fact that prog they aren't)
Roxy Music - pop
Fates Warning - metal (progressive metal every now and then, granted - still...)
Boards Of Canada - electronic/downtempo (the least progressive on this list - and again, I love this band)


That said, if the definition of prog is that open (and for me it's pretty open) my list would be:


Yes
Genesis
King Crimson
Jane Siberry
Radiohead
Stevie Wonder
Marillion
Percy Howard
Scott Walker (Tilt)
Talk Talk (Laughing Stock)
Listening since 1980

The water rushes over all
cities crash in the mighty wave;
the final man is very small,
plunging in for his final bathe

will have to consult my all knowing Last FM  account (mostly), hmmm
 
1. Frank Zappa and whatever musician he happens to have around him
2. Pink Floyd
3. Jethro Tull
4. King Crimson
5. Strawbs
6. Nektar
7. ELP
after ELP it is harder to say, any combination of these bands could fill the last 2 spots:
- Caravan
- Yes
- Alan Parsons Project
- Gentle Giant
- High Tide
- Atomic Rooster
- Rush
- Moody Blues
- Gryphon
- Procol Harum
- Camel
- Captain Beyond worth an honorable mention


Time always wins.
