Plenty!
Dylan, The Band
Neil Young, Bruce Cockburn, Bruce Springsteen, Richard Thompson, Roy Harper.
Cold Chisel, Midnight Oil, U2...
Springsteen is probably my favourite rock performer of all time. If you get the chance to hear any boots from his tour of 1978 don't hesitate. The perfect combination of folk, rock, jazz and (yes) prog. Just listen to what they did with "Prove It All Night" on that tour. Perfection.

Apart from the prog genre, I like many different kinds of music :
Jazz with world elements : Jan Garbarek, one of the most gifted saxophonist I know/ Pat Metheny and his subtile guitar phrase
Folk : Richie Havens and his strong voice
AOR : TOTO
Vocal jazz : Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan
Post-rock : the last Björk, Vespertine, a blend of ethereal music with sublime orchestrations and grandiose vocals, harp and discreet music boxes
The Grateful dead : Terrapin' station is a true masterpiece
Contemporary classical music : Claus Ogermann, Two concertos, a sublime record / Henryk Gorecki, Symphony n°3, a dark masterpiece / Zbigniew Preisner, Requiem for my friend, another sublime record / Wojciech Kilar, Warsaw to Hollywood (excellent film scores) / Mark O'Connor ( violonist for Dixie Dregs on 'Industry standard), Fanfare for the volunteer, sublime music for violin and orchestra / John Williams, music from Saving private Ryan (truly poignant) / Georges Enesco / Charles Koechlin, Oeuvres pour hautbois (one of the finest work for oboe ever produced)
Polish pop (I am a native of Poland) : Czeslaw Niemen, Marek Grechuta
Mainstream rock with a touch of proginess : Kevin Gilbert
Stoner : Led Zeppelin, II, their best to my mind
Shredders : Steve Vai, Passion and warfare, an absolute masterpiece / Eric Johnson, one of my favourite guitarists / Jeff Beck, There & back, his best record / Steve Morse, the best guitarist in the world
That's all folks!!

HMMMM: for me it would be..Led Zep...Deep Purple,Tool(dont like their bizarre filmclips though..even though they are in tune with the songs feel and sentiments...go figure) as a pianist i also enjoy classical piano works especially early 20th century composers such as bartok et al who started to inject more prominent jazz and blues chording and frasing into the traditional classical context

Well there's plenty of bands I like, but one stands out from all the rest...
Yes, the holy of holies... The best band of all time, one of those once in a lifetime bands that I will be remembering in forty years time...
> Tool
They are absolutely the best band out there... (in my opinion )

What the? Their video clips are the best film clips out there... The interesting use of stop-motion animation by whichever one of the band members it is who makes them, Danny I think, is just another aspect of the depth and quality of Tool...
A band that produces art, not music... I just can't say enough about them...

Most all of the bands I love are prog but other than that I like electronic music :
like Jean Michel Jarre , Klause Schlze ( imagine Pinkfloyd or Alan Parsons no vocals and only synths) obviously Alan Parsons.
Led Zep is also fun

Oregon was a great band, their seventies stuff is beautiful...I've got about 50 ECM vinyls, lota of great stuff there, Garbarek on a bunch of them...and Britsh folk music, just awesome...I became addicted to a Sandy Denny collection for quite a while too, imo easily the best female singer ever...ok, singer period, what expression.

Geez..
Outside of Prog I like everything from Sarah McLachlan to Stevie Ray Vaughn to Brother Cane to The Rippingtons (if you get the chance to see them live don't pass it up) to Led Zep.
It would probably take less time to list the acts that I don't like, though that list gets longer every day.

 Yes Dude, the biggest "hit" that Steeleye Span ever had was in fact "All Around my Hat," from the excellent (1975) album of the same name. Other great Steeleye titles include their essential first (1970) album, "Hark! the Village Wait," 75's "Commoners Crown," 86's comeback masterpiece "Back in Line," 89's harder-rocking "Tempted and Tried," and 96's "Time." The band's music is traditionally-based, with heavy rock overtones (drums, bass, and great electric guitar figure largely in their sound). For me , a liking for prog, and many of its softer, more beautiful moments (as in old Genesis or PFM) logically led me to this type of music (plus, like you, I'm from a former British colony with a strong seafaring past and a vital Irish subculture).
I have 12 Steeleye Span discs in total (& really like them all!), and over 200 traditional/Celtic discs (not counting numerous MP3s) altogether (more than I have of Prog!), including one by WEDDINGS PARTIES ANYTHING (saw them live: Great!) from Australia. I really love the life-affirming beauty, power, and soul-stirring poetry of "trad." Check out some "Span" soon!
 I too have & LOVE Trower's BRIDGE OF SIGHS. The title track is awesome, and so is the immortal "Too Rolling Stoned," one of my favourite songs!

This is one thing which has bothered me over the years - Robin Trower is one of the great unsung heroes of the guitar, but just because he has chosen in the past to use the same feel/sound as Hendrix, he gets labelled as a copyist.
Nobody seems to have the same problem with the leagues of guitarists who over the years have copied Tony Iommi (another vastly under-rated guitarist); nobody complains that Clapton is a little derivative of past greats in his (undoubtedly great) blues works.
What is it about Hendrix that makes people so protective of his sound........?

jim:good point!! it seems that when you reach the status of rock icon you become untouchable(here is a PERSONAL opinion, i have never held the likes of Van Morrisson or BB King in the same awe as they are in the rock world (just a tad overrated!!)) but as for Hendrix yes, he was probably the biggest single influence on rock guitar in history but from him others have fashioned their own sound and creativity.Sure Hendrix did Purple Rain voodoo child,Machine gun etc but Trower did the superb "bridge of Sighs" "Too rolling Stoned" etc Are they any less songs and musical compositions because they were not done by Hendrix? what do you think???

Great to see many people here like Led Zeppelin, I love them too. But I think my favourite non-prog band would be Judas Priest (only their albums from the seventies, actually).
EDIT: NOT ANYMORE! (Warning! Evolving taste)
