My favorite out of these? It's probably a toss up between Kansas and Camel. Maybe Kansas by a tiny bit.

VdGG, but I love The Snow Goose

Marillion has it's moments, Kansas not so much.



You mean you don't like the first five Kansas albums (self titled up to POKR)? Really? I'm not trying to push them on you I'm just a bit surprised. I personally find them to be really great especially Song For America and Leftoverture. I would probably rank those as:

Leftoverture
Song For America
Kansas
Point of Know Return
Masque

Monolith



First 5 albums by Kansas was a great run. Always liked that the first album used the Tragic Prelude mural by John Curry as the artwork.

The last two releases by Kansas are quite good too.

Camel and Van Der Graaf Generator for me, but I will vote for Camel as I'm on a Camel kick lately.

All solid prog bands with their own qualities. They are also a bit 'after the fact' but it's interesting to have a list of the bands that sort of took the baton and ran with it.  I can also say that I've seen 4 of them live, the one I haven't is Camel. Marillion were a massive disappointment. Kansas were easily the best and they still had the legend that is Steve Walsh. Porcupine Tree were excellent of both occasions. VDGG were interesting but not very exciting. P'Tree are the only one I would count in my personal Top Ten favourite bands so they have to get my vote.

EDIT - VDGG were not 'after the fact' of course, mainly a comment for the other 4!
