                    1. King Crimson
2. Yes
3. Genesis
4. Pink Floyd
5. Jethro Tull
6. Emerson, Lake & Palmer
7. Camel
8. Van der Graaf Generator
9. Gentle Giant
10. Frank Zappa/The Mothers

That's surely a pity, but a thread about favourite countries (The League of Prog Nations ) gives Italy 
this high ranking:

01. UK (182 points)
02. USA (81 points)
03. Germany (76 points)
04. France (67 points)
05. Italy (66 points)
06. Sweden (58 points)
07. Norway (54 points)

I don't really have an all-time top ten, but I didn't want Can to fall out of the list, so I made one anyway.

1. Can
2. King Crimson
3. Soft Machine
4. Magma
5. Pink Floyd
6. Van der Graaf Generator
7. Kraftwerk
8. The Residents
9. Art Zoyd
10. Gong

There's a lot of bands I love just as much. Also considered:

Tangerine Dream, Genesis, Camel, Univers Zoyd, GY!BE, Secret Chiefs 3, Swans, Embryo, Popol Vuh, Gentle Giant...

I don't think that I've already posted a list but if I haven't then:
 
Basing this list primarily on the number of albums I have and also considering my enjoyment of those albums:
 
1: Van der Graaf Generator
2: Yes
3: Pink Floyd
4: King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard
5: Magma
 
However, this list is somewhat of a distortion of my taste which is better represented by favourite albums.

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

With the thread about the top 50 list made by Ultimate Classic Rock, this thread here may also have new interest.
