Has not this thread been done like four or five times now. I wish there was a sleeping emoticon to choose from. I'm sleepy.

It's hard to define only 5 bands ! But... my list:

1-YES

2-RUSH

3-GENTLE GIANT

4-GENESIS

5-KANSAS

All of them due their whole work (high average), .....

but other bands have some works which I consider fantastic, like: KING CRIMSON ("In a court of Crimson King", "Starless and the Bible Black..." and "Lark Tongs in Aspic"), EL&Palmer ( "Tarkus", "Trilogy", Brain Sallad Surgery") , CAMEL ( "Mirage", "The Snow Goose", "Moonmadnes") FOCUS ( Mooving Waves", "Hamburger Concerto", JETHRO TULL "Stand Up", "Bennefit", "Aqualung" , "Thick as a Brick".... only for cite some .

Anyone with with a post non 70s band in their top 50 bands are kidding themselves

All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.

Nothing wrong with anything, anywhere, anytime and anyhow.

Any musical group or artist is great and worth having fans.

Maybe tomorrow I'm in a 2000-2010 hiphop mood, or maybe in a 1920's blues mood.

Today it's all about the neoprog-concept albums:

1. Moonrise

2. Different Light

3. Sylvan

4. The Tangent

5. Cirrus Bay

But my top 5 all time remains (I guess):

1. Camel

2. Tull

3. Queen

4. Saga

5. Barclay James Harvest

(no particular order)
