The two bands I don't get at all are Dream Theater and Opeth. I just never found a way into them. The rest, like you said, I like many songs by them, but not really albums. Marillion and IQ would be my two favorites on this list; they've written some great tracks.

There's only one band on there that I don't like and that's Renaissance. Out of the rest my top three would be PT, Anglagard and Riverside.

Hmmm....Renaissance , Focus,.... then PT and IQ.
I like the old classic prog more  so they always come before the newer ones for me.

Except couple or more of these bands, I really like at least one album of all bands in the list.  The ones I am most into would be Renaissance and Marillion and as between those, an easy vote for Renaissance.

Yeah, tell-tale 70s head - Renaissance, Focus and Harmonium.
I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....

I'm guessing you're a 70s-proghead then...

I am not really into any one of those, but I used to really like Focus at one point.

Is the idea of this thread to name the bands on the list that we do actually like?
In that case the answer for me is;
IQ, Marillion and Porcupine Tree

Renaissance, followed by IQ, Marillion and Dream Theater. Just a bit of Opeth. I don't dig the others.

Hard to pick one of there bands. All are good, but none of these belongs to my real favourites. I vote for Focus, my fellow countrymen who gave us Focus II (later known as Moving Waves) and Hamburger Concerto.

Surprised Änglagård doesn't have more votes, but I'd be a liar if I didn't vote Opeth.
