I really don't understand why a collab from '06 would think this thread is a good idea. 
Mainly because I really don't give a damn and i happen to be in a negative mood, just like you WinkLOL
And a progfan since 1969  to boot,  before you were even born, youngun' Big smile


Heh.  This.

As for the OP....

Dream Theatre, Gentle Giant, Yes GSY!BE...

I can see the appeal (except for maybe the last one, who I don't get at all) but my interest could never rise very far.

Hmmm, I don't care much for Tool. I only have "Lateralus" but it's so-so in my opinion.

There are bands I always like, regardless of mood, time of day, or whatever: Tori Amos, Jethro Tull, most classic prog bands, and many of the newer ones like Porcupine Tree, DT, Beardfish, whatever.
Then there are some that I have to be in the right mood for, that would turn me off during other circumstances. These would include almost everyone else.
There is one exception: I HATE!!!! death growly voices. Oh so fierce, I'm scared, hide me. Regardless of the music involved, they are just so very, very, very embarrassing!!!! It makes me cringe to think that such garbage (my opinion, shoot me!) should be connected to my favourite music genre.

I don't know what I have - or don't have - with King Crimson. They have made three or four albums which I would easily give a four star rating, their music can be labeled as highly innovative prog, but somehow I would never name them among my favourites. On the other hand, I don't dislike them either and I can get into most of their music.
It is not even some kind of resistance against those core PA members who seem to form the most solid fanbase that this band could ever dream of - in my (slighltly distorted?) perception Confused.

I don't really hate any band, I can't see the point of expending energy on that.

Neither do I.Wink But it seems this thread deals more with my choice of title (I thought a little vroom would help!) than simply finding out which celebrated PROG bands others like that you just cannot get into. Its like judging an album by its title and not teh contant. The existentialist debate between good and evil (love/hate) is better dealt with elsewhere.  Please.....
I saw Chicago twice in the late 70s early 80s LIVE and it was terrible. The second barely lasted 40 minutes as audience reaction was timid at best (Montreal was a prog hotbed then...) . The records just do not do it for me except for the debut.....See what I mean?

I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

There are many many prog bands that don't interest me at all, but I don't have a love-hate for any.

The only album that rubs me up the wrong way is Triumvirat 'Spartacus'. Because of that I've never followed up on any of their other albums.
I've certainly fallen out of love with Transatlantic and The Flower Kings.Beyond that I'm pretty happy with my prog collection and wouldn't get rid of anything.

Never really saw the deal with Flower Kings, Ayreon and Tool. 

I can hear moments of brilliance in Spocks Beard but overall, they don't put together a satisfying package for me. 

I like Porcupine Tree in small doses without being absolutely bowled over at any level. 

I like Dream Theater's early work a lot.  Not so much their later and supposedly more advanced work like SFAM or Six Degrees. 

I like many of the classic prog greats to varying degrees.  But I don't count myself among the hardcore VDGG fans though I do like their albums.  Kansas and Caravan never did much for me.
