I wiil only choose bands with the most solid discography. Many bands and artists can have one or two masterpieces but it's hard to make a solid road of good work. 1. Genesis, where it all began for me and probably still my favourite band of all time. From Trespass to Wind and Wurthering is quite an remarkable road of good music. Also the "pop" era is better than 95% of 80's music. 2. Opeth, I used to hate metal, let alone death metal. After multiple listens it grew on me. This band is just mindblowing. Top-tier musicianship and ten fantastic albums! Mikael Åkerfeldt is a genius. 3. Van Der Graaf Generator, The epitome of dark progressive rock? Hammill is the best vocalist of all-time in my opinion. Eight great albums in a row. 4. Beatles, Revolver -> Abbey Road. It will never happen again that two as gifted musicians as Lennon and McCartney would end up in the same band. It's simply impossible. 5. King Crimson, No need to explain. Starless might the best song ever composed... 6. Pink Floyd, Who doesn't love Floyd? So many good albums + Dark Side of the Moon is still the landmark for the best mixing of all time. 7. Yes, I just love this band. My second prog introduction after Genesis. I've enjoyed every single minute that i have listened it. Close to the edge, Relayer, Fragile, Yes Album and many more... (+ AWAKEN) 8. Porcupine Tree/Steven Wilson, I know many people hate Steven. He is the nerdiest prog professor of all time. He knows everything from music but people forget that he also can make damn good music! - So here it is, I'm not certain about the order of the bands. I have hard times ranking all of these big names. Anyways, all of these bands have given so much to me and they will always be present in my life.

I presume this topic is about prog and related… A lot of known and legendary prog bands fail to impress me in the post Seventies era, like Genesis, Yes, Pink Floyd, Barclay James Harvest, and even King Crimson, although I first liked Disciplne, witnessed a gig but later the music didn't genererate a lot of excitement, of course that is very personal/subjective. Now let's go. Rush - especially the 1977-1983 era Amazing interplay, exciting compositions, and Lifeson is so good Genesis - 70-77 era 12-string acoustic guitars, a huge plus Pink Floyd - 76-79 era Wright and Gilmour delivered so many exciting legendary moments in prog ELP - 1970-1977 era I love that over the top Moog and Hammond work! Camel - Seventies plus Nude Andy Latimer is the prog version of blues Barclay James Harvest - in fact I only play their 2 Mellotron drenched live albums Live and Live Tapes, but I love it! Le Orme - 1971-1973 era, especially Felona E Sorona PFM - I prefer to listen to their live albums, more dynamic and exciting Solaris - one of the most overlooked progrock beauties, Martian Chronicles, 1990 and Live In Los Angeles are top notch prog albums Triana - first three studio albums, unsurpassed Rock Andaluz Seventies Uriah Heep and Deep Purple, I love that powerful Hammond-heavy guitar sound! |

I totally forgot …. … Tangerine Dream - 1974-1980 era, for me Encore is the best ever EM album. And I really like the new line up with the Sessions CD's, exciting, I am going to witness TD in October, never seen. …. Santana - I love that distinctive, very emotional and sustain driven Santana guitar work, blended with the exciting Afro-American percussion, and topped with the Hammond (Greg Rolie is my favourite). …. Queen in the Seventies, I love Brian May his riffs, especially Keep Yourself Alive and Tie Your Mother Down, and the first Queen album is still my favourite one.

Univers Zero - 10 studio albums are nary a weak one among them, top 5 outstanding King Crimson - consistent and ever changing sounds and line-ups, one of the most consistently excellent bands out there and at their peak (72-74) stunning Henry Cow - short discography but all great and all different Pink Floyd - I like everything up to Animals, good interesting stuuf going on with lots of experimentation throughout. Nik Bartsch Ronin - 6 studio albums and 2 live, all with a the trademark minimalist jazz blueprint, one of the best live acts out there. Black Sabbath - the new of albums from s/t to Sabotage are genre defining Radiohead - everything since OK Computer is good to great with experimental indie rock of the highest order. ------------- Ian Host of the Post-Avant Jazzcore Happy Hour on Progrock.com https://podcasts.progrock.com/post-avant-jazzcore-happy-hour/ |

I'll try to limit just to bands who are on this website. No order: Yes Genesis Rush Marillion King Crimson The Who Led Zeppelin The Beatles Camel VDGG Kansas Pink Floyd That's 12 and seems like a good place to stop. Of course I like more but those bands are all special to me for various reasons. Edit. I realized I left off Pink Floyd so I took off Porcupine Tree and added Floyd instead to keep it at 12. To be honest I probably could swap out Marillion for PT but I'm not that big into the later metally PT. If it wasn't for maybe a total of 20 minutes worth of metallish(notice the ish)in their later music they wouldn't have nearly the fanbase(from the metal crowd)that they do. Not that I hate metal or anything but it always seems to me that some people have to have it in their music(I don't). Another band that just missed the cut for me is Gentle Giant. I could probably put them instead of Marillion also but I'll keep the list they way they are and just mention GG here. Very great band. Lot's of great bands out there. |

solo artists. it may very well be I have forgotten some I should have
named; I could certainly come up with 100 names. in alphabetic order: Amon Düül 2 Ange Atlantis (the German band) Black Sabbath Black Widow Brainticket Can Catharsis Clearlight Colosseum The Deep Freeze Mice Deep Purple The Doors Eloy Embryo Epitaph Faust Focus Frumpy Genesis Gentle Giant Gong Greenslade Guru Guru Hawkwind High Tide Jade Warrior Jefferson Airplane Jethro Tull King Crimson Kraan Led Zeppelin Magma Mother Gong Pink Floyd The Red Masque The Residents Santana Skyclad Soft Machine Spooky Tooth Tangerine Dream Titanic (Norwegian band) Traffic UFO Univers Zero Uriah Heep Wishbone Ash Van der Graaf Generator Yes-------------  A shot of me as High Priestess of Gaia during our fall festival.

Jethro Tull-Get the remixes because the extra tracks are awesome and there's tonnes of them Le Orme-Strong run of albums in the 70s Gentle Giant-Similar to Le Orme Camel-Late starter but strong for 3/4 of 70s and early 80s Magma-The most unique band in history Van Der Graaf-Pity they split up twice in the 70s Oblivion express-Auger was great starting with late 60s Trinity Caravan-Strong run in 70s and early 80s Genesis-Don't rate early 70s like PA does but late 70s pretty good Frank Zappa-Pretty cool from 72-83 ------------- All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock. |

There's my personal (prog) big 5. When I think about this I always take into account solo work of the musicians that are associated with the bands, much of which shows strong connections to the "main band's" material. Can - Apart from the iconic material that they produced if the first seven or so years of their existence (which would be enough to grant them their spot), Holger Czukay and Irmin Schmidt have major bodies of great work that on its own could compete with some major prog bands, with Jaki Liebezeit and Damo Suzuki not far behind. King Crimson - So many different periods on top level, and then Robert Fripp has his hands in so much more interesting stuff, Bill Bruford created some great stuff as bandleader, Adrian Belew has some very nice albums and there's a plethora of connections and appearances of other members that I wouldn't count into King Crimson but that still shows the quality and the richness of infuences taken in and given out by that monster of a band. Art Zoyd - They have gazillions of albums, they were innovative and productive (at least) until Gerard Hourbette's death, and they did hardly ever any step wrong. Probably they have the largest number of albums of them all that I'd rate four star or above, Not even to mention the jungle of interesting side projects. Cardiacs - Unique, inspired and sparky from beginning to end, and also the supreme quality of some of Tim Smith's and Tavus Korabi's work outside the band and the reliable enjoyment I get from William D. Drake's material are testimony to what a force they were and in some way still are (I haven't given up hope that at some point some new music with Tim's active participation will appear). Talk Talk - When it comes to quantity they may lag a bit behind the other nominees, but they finished their lifespan with three straight five star albums in a row plus the Mark Hollis album plus the astonishing work by .O.rang are enough to qualify them for my top 5 as well. Also all respect to Pink Floyd - The Beatles - Van der Graaf Generator - Amon Düül II - Japan (or mainly Sylvian/Karn) and Kate Bush (not a band therefore out of competition here). |

I will try to round it down to 10. My list isn't very unique of anything but oh well 1: Genesis They are really just the gold standard, the run from Trespass to Duke is just fantastic and Foxtrot is my favorite album of all time 2: King Crimson I think they offer an amazing variety and really only have 1 or 2 duds in the discography, this one took me a while but they are the most progressive band in history to me. Also starless is the best song ever made 3: Camel You know the ending of suppers ready where it climaxes at the new Jerusalem part? With Camel, I feel like they hit that same climax but several times over the course of an album. They just have such soaring highs and I love the sound in general, They struggled a bit in the 80s but were able to reinvent themselves in the 90s and 2000s to release some of their best work and I truly like almost their entire discography. Their music just resonates with me. Song within a song for example is simply just out of this world. 4: Yes The thing with yes is that there is quite a lot of junk to sift through in their later discography but they are probably the single most influential band on the genre, from The Yes Album to Drama its just amazing album after amazing album. 5: Pink Floyd I think Pink Floyd is amazing, but if I had the choice between discographies, id chose the above artists first. Animals, Dark Side, Meddle and Wish you were Here are all simply masterpieces, I do struggle with the Wall and absolutely despise Momentary Lapse but they have a generally solid discography 6: Kansas This was my introduction to prog, I decided to turn on the greatest hits album while painting a fence and you wouldn't believe the shock when I heard Song For America, The Pinnacle and Closet Chronicles. Simply a very unique and influential prog band with an amazing first 5 albums. Post Point of Know Return its quite spotty with some garbage and some OK stuff, Somewhere to Elsewhere was quite nice though. 7: Spock's Beard I just love this band, the first time I heard the Light it truly opened a whole new avenue of prog for me (Modern Prog) However I think V, Snow Live, X and Brief Nocturnes are their best work with imo V being their crowned achievement. The instrumentation is always extremely tight no matter what era.. Though they lost some personality when Neal Left, they adapted into a more mature sound. 8: King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizzard I still cant wait for these guys to be on the website, honestly, i'm yet to hear anything by them I don't like (though their latest fishing for fishies isn't my favorite) Flying Microtonal Banana, Polygondwanaland, Im in your mind fuzz, Nonagon Infinity and Murder of the Universe are just truly among the most unique prog albums to come out in the last decade with excellent song writing and instrumentation all around 9: Jethro Tull I've recently gotten into these guys and love the sound, but in my opinion they have probably 7 or 8 very solid 4 star albums with maybe one 5 star album and thats Thick as a Brick. Whereas the above artists in my opinion have at least two 5 star albums, but thats besides the point. These guys just rock and I can really listen to them at any time. Songs from the wood, TAAB and Stand up are my favorites personally. 10: Focus I just love this bands sound, sure they peaked early after Hamburger Concerto. But still their work on moving waves and focus 3 are just brilliant with Hamburger Concerto just being their peak. But focus 3 is my favorite ;) honorable mentions marillion dream theater nektar transatlantic elp supertramp wobbler (probably moving into the top 10) Van Der Graff (Probably moving into the top 10) Rush Outside of Prog: Deep Purple Boston Steely Dan Blue Oyster Cult Chicago Led Zeppelin The Who The Eagles |

You all have collectively listed many bands that I've liked over the years. I tend to go through phases. I would probably have to list favorites as a function of my age, and I'm all over the map as far as genres. The two genres I have the least affection for are country (though I love Dire Straits, Chet Atkins, Les Paul, and some of the older artists) and rap (except some old school smooth or robotic renditions). I get nostalgic and revisit bands a lot, too. The genres I enjoy the most are prog rock and prog related (especially guitar or electronic oriented), rock, New Wave (including synth-pop like Yaz or early Gary Numan), metal, classical (especially guitar or lute ... and piano), fusion, metal, blues, pop, funk, soul/disco, jazz, punk, alternative, New Age (especially guitar like Michael Hedges or keyboard like Enya), and world (everywhere: Spanish flamenco, Nawal al Zoghbi). I'm sure I've left out some genres, too. Honestly, I can't say who my favorite bands are. On the prog front, my latest faves have been Jethro Tull, ELP, Allan Holdsworth, and Yes ... as well as slogging through recording my own music. |

Go out an get the remixes. You can make about eight 4-5 star albums from the 70s just by swapping songs with outtakes. Ian was crap at choosing the best songs. So crap that he'd leave the best song off and include the worst song
 . There's basically 20 songs in 71, 73, 74, 78 and 79 and 15 songs in most other years. I tend to choose 50/50 of album/outtakes when picking my fave 10 songs. Quite often my fave songs each year are outtakes/singles------------- All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock. |

This list is a tough one but if you ask you will get my top 10. 1) Genesis - the unit, the magic and melodies brings me so much. 2) Pink Floyd -the evolution, the lingering hurt and pain of leaving Syd behind and the melancholy that infected the band in its sound throughout. 3) Soundgarden - 6 albums, power, that friendship and gravitose of that band is nlt written to much about. 4) Supertramp -most important band to my ears in terms of song arangement, dynamic range and structure. 5) the Who - the power of rebellion, being so free of rules and restrain. and so early on dangerous. 6) the Zombies - mainly becouse of Odessy and Oracle. 7) Mastodon -most influentual metal act to my own development. 8) Procol Harum - Very important to my understanding of progressiveness taking different routes. 9) Cat Stevens -modt important single sing and songwriter, to name one. 10) Ultravox - an mazing mix of classy and post punk. -------------

Without doubt for me, IQ are THE most consistent band, I love all their albums. In terms of consistency across their catalogue, Ayreon and It Bites would be next. Other acts I really love, but who have been less consistent throughout their catalogues: Marillion, Genesis, Dream Theater, Nightwish, Mike Oldfield, King's X, Pink Floyd, Frost*, Bryan Adams.....

In 2011 a dream came true, I witnessed a Dutch gig from The Doors during their world tour. It was awesome, what a quality music, so many classics! One 70+ lady told me that she was there in Amsterdam in 1968 when The Doors performed without Jim Morrison, he was unable to perform after taking too much alcohol and drugs in the center of Amsyerdams. And now she was here again to watch The Doors, with her daughter, and they knew all the songs! How sad that two years later Ray Manzarek lost his battle with cancer, R.I.P. Ray.

Ekseption (Hit me like a freight train the first time I heard them, but in a good way. Not one bad song on the 'Trinity' album) Genesis, of course. (Had 'The Colony of Slippermen' stuck in my head for nearly a month when I first heard it) Yes Jethro Tull (Consistently good) Gentle Giant (Like Tull, have been consistently strong, in my opinion anyway) Grateful Dead (Their non-Country material) ELP (I see a lot of people hate on them, and for what reason I really don't understand. Annoyingly theatrical or not, they were brilliant at their craft) King Crimson, of course. And others that come really, really close...
