Someone may have done this before but what the heck.
We all know the " Big Six" - Yes, Genesis, King Crimson, Pink Floyd, ELP & Jethro Tull. Cue forum members to reply " The big six aren't my big six , (You know who you are ![]() Anyway here's your chance, who are your top six prog bands/artists that are not part of the so called "big six"?

but what's being called the big 6 is only classic prog. Any kind of prog is even harder to choose 6 bands.

I always think of it as the Big 7 with Rush. Otherwise, I am good with the Original Six.

I guess after the universal "Big Six", I would put Gentle Giant, VdGG, Porcupine Tree, Camel, Frank Zappa and maybe Marillion as a "second-tier" Big Six, not that these qualifications matter even a pinch to anyone (or at least I hope they don't). Would I like to see other bands being qualified for that "Big Six" thing? Absolutely - Opeth, the Mars Volta, UK, Caravan, Soft Machine, Gong, Steven Wilson solo, maybe even Riverside, IQ, why not also Arena. There are so many bands I could include in my "Big Six" (since this is the topic), that I would prefer to enjoy them rather than bin them intro weird categories like "Big Six", "Throbbing Eleven", or "Unmatchable Twenty-Five". You get my point.
