Just letting you know, Yes and Rush will not be on this list. While they may be staples of all Prog, I have never been able to really stand their music (particularly the latter). There are going to be a lot of more obscure groups here. I am really partial to 60's-70's golden era Prog. The revivals in the 80's and subsequent bands I don't really care for that much. Oldies are goodies.
Here I go:
1. Pink Floyd 2. King Crimson 3. StarCastle 4. Babylon 5. Gypsy 6. Styx 7. Elizabeth 8. Art in America 9. Emerson, Lake, and Palmer 10. Alan Parson's Project 11. Gentle Giant 12. Jethro Tull 13. Pavlov's Dog 14. Automatic Man 15. Yezda Urfa 16. Quill 17. Jasper Wrath 18. Van der Graaf Generator 19. Utopia 20. Smoke Rise

I always have trouble with ranking bands or artists since most of the prog music I like is by artists that only put out an album or two, but right now a list would be something like this: - Harmonium
- Bubu
- Yes
- PFM
- Arco Iris
- Caravan
- Maneige
- Yezda Urfa
- King Crimson
- Crucis
- Renaissance
- Gentle Giant
- Focus
- Osanna
- Rayuela
- Comus
- Quella Vecchia Locanda
- Gryphon
- Tangerine Dream
- Birds & Buildings
If I were to include bands that I consider proggy but not quite prog, then I might also throw in Chicago, Dixie Dregs, Return To Forever, Steely Dan, Traffic, and Wishbone Ash.

Most of my favorite Prog Bands are either from the UK or Continental Europe, and all are from the "golden era" having formed in the late 60s, early 70s. And as you can also see, there is no shortage of rather obscure groups in that bunch.

Camel Circa Survive Coheed & Cambria The Dear Hunter The Decemberists Genesis Jethro Tull Kayo Dot King Crimson Marillion Oceansize Ozric Tentacles Pink Floyd Plini Porcupine Tree Radiohead Sieges Even Thank You Scientist Tool Yes
Also, I took them out since I was over 20, but two other bands I love as much, if not more than the bands on this list: -Muse (Prog-Related) -King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard (Inexplicably rejected)

Here's my attempt to make a logical Top 20. Strong emphasis on the classic 70's bands... My list excludes solo artists such as Mike Oldfield because this thread is about bands. 1st set (1-8) = my most essential bands that I found early in my teenage years (over 30 years ago) : Genesis, Yes, Pink Floyd, Marillion, Moody Blues, Renaissance, Camel, Van der Graaf Generator. 2nd set (9-20) = more of my favourite bands I have a long listening history of : Caravan, Focus, King Crimson, Gentle Giant, Strawbs, Barclay James Harvest, Jethro Tull, Kansas, Procol Harum, Tangerine Dream, Wigwam, Rush. (ELP didn't quite make it to Top20, because I can't stand some of their stuff.) I could go on with dozens of bands I admire, either old bands with a small output, or more recent/contemporary bands with lots of good stuff to find. Some of them I nowadays probably like more than many of the mentioned above, but it was so much easier to concentrate on those with a longer listening history.

Prog only...... difficult to stick to only 20, as many newer bands deserve a shout, but if I have to.....
Genesis/Steve Hackett Yes Rush ELP Jethro Tull Pink Floyd Marillion (Fish & Hogarth) Big Big Train Camel IQ John Mitchell (Lonely Robot/It Bites etc.) Strawbs King Crimson Gentle Giant Porcupine Tree/Steven Wilson Renaissance Spock's Beard/Neal Morse (etc.) Mostly Autumn Magenta Arena
Yes, I know I'm pushing the limits of a top 20 with some artists grouped together....but I'm missing out Threshold, Mystery, Jadis, APP, Dream Theater, Mike Oldfield, Panic Room, Karnataka, Airbag, BJH, Anathema, Iona, Lifesigns, Riverside/Lunatic Soul, The Pineapple Thief etc. for heaven's sake!

I don't have Yes because, to be honest, I am not super fond of the vocals (particularly the harmonies, which honestly I find StarCastle's mimicking of Yes to be even superior on a vocal level), and I feel they sacrifice musicality for showing off their virtuosity, which is somewhat my feeling with Gentle Giant as well, but their music is also rather appealing in a "what am I listening to" kind of way (definitely not the most accessible band in the world).
Take Pink Floyd for example. David Gilmour, in my opinion, is one of the most virtuosic guitarists to ever grace god's green Earth. BUT, he doesn't spend his time going insane and just speeding through a song with lots of fancy trills and arpeggios. No, he lets the sound of his guitar ring, and lets that instrument sing to us. He is a bloody amazing guitarist, but he reserves himself and doesn't spend his time going nuts. YES, on the other hand, does this frequently. And while I can appreciate it on a technical level, on when it comes to musicality I find that their antics detract from the music. HOWEVER, before people lose their minds, I am never going to ever say they are poor musicians or anything. Rick Wakeman is a god of the keyboards, Jon Anderson is one of my absolute favorite lead vocalists in history, and Steven Howe is just about unparalleled in the Prog world (the only guitarists I like better being David Gilmour and Robert Fripp). I just don't like it when they are together lol.
Rush... I just consider Rush the single largest curse to the prog rock world. A) I don't care for blues hard rock (their early stuff), B) their prog stuff I only find passable at best, and C) I hate every fiber of Progressive Metal, sorry but if I want to hear a band stroke their heavy metal egos, I've got Iron Maiden and Yngwie Malmsteen for that.

Yup that Malmsteen, whose uninteresting and at times outright idiotic discography past 1996 I still find to be superior to the entirety of Rush's catalog in one single fell swipe.

You were? Then writing legible sentences is also not one of your particular attributes. Your original sentence stated that "not on any 20-slot favorite band list". "Not on any" refers to multiple lists, not a single list, dolt.

Honorable mention: Anglagard (I originally had them on my list but then when I counted there were 21 I took them off in order to play by the rules).
Also, I haven't heard the entire discography of all of these bands but with the exception of Gentle Giant* I have seen all of these bands live at least once and several twice.
* I did however see the band Three Friends which featured Gary Green and Malcom Mortimore.
