Just bands (no solo artists), and in no particular order: - the Decemberists Sorry, couldn't stop at just 10. Nya Ljudbolaget, Carol of Harvest and Ramases might have made this list if they'd have cranked out a few more albums before disappearing.

Like many of us it changes from time to time so this list is just at the moment. For the hell of it I'll list my favorite album by each band in parenthesis, again this changes often too but these are my favorite albums by them at this point.
1.Rush (Moving Pictures)
2. Iron Maiden ( Powerslave)
3. The Beatles (currently a tie between abbey road, revolver and rubber soul)
4. Yes (close to the edge)
5. Genesis ( tie between seling england by the pound and a trick of the tail)
6. Dream Theater ( falling into infinity)

Only bands that are commonly associated with the term progressive. The first 6 was easy to pick: Genesis Camel Gentle Giant Saga Magma Steve Hackett The rest is harder... The Moody Blues Barclay James Harvest Höyry-Kone Marillion Yes Clannad (always thought they were referred to as partly proggy?) Jethro Tull That makes 6+7 = 13. I want to add Art Zoyd, but still haven't heard enough of them. Godspeed You!Black Emperor is "post-rock", so I wont add them (not that they're not progressive). edit: Added Jethro Tull ------------- http://www.lastfm.se/user/wilmon91" rel="nofollow - last.fm |
