My top three of all time is
King Crimson Yes Bubu
Bringing it up to 5 would be tough since there aren't many artists that I'm a "collectionist" for besides the above three; a lot of the stuff I listen to is from either one-album wonders or artists that had 2-4 incredible albums and then generally patchy discographies that would prevent me from calling myself a fan of the band...
If I had to add another two, it would probably be between:
Harmonium PFM Birds and Buildings

Always a tough question...my musical tastes have changed over the course of my 10 years or so of prog exploration, but at this point in my 26 years of life, I'll go with: 5. Devin Townsend 4. The Mars Volta 3. The Dear Hunter 2. Opeth 1. Pain of Salvation There is so much I could say about all of them, but I'll just leave it alone.

That's cheating!
Leaving out jazz acts represented on PA because they accidentally made some complex fusion-rock records in the early 70's. These have proved their stamina for a decade or two and will always be essential to me:
Can Magma King Crimson Art Zoyd Van Der Graaf Generator/Peter Hammill

Right now:
Radiohead
Jethro Tull
Porcupine Tree/Steven Wilson
Tool
Pink Floyd (this one is in the making)
I would like to come back to this list in a year or so to see what has changed. I suspect a lot.

Well, my top eight artists are:
Igor Stravinsky
Frank Zappa
Todd Rundgren
Yes
Led Zeppelin
Grateful Dead
King Crimson
Emerson, Lake & Palmer
In my opinion that more than covers the requirement for five prog artists.
