Tough call between BBT, Camel, and Riverside. 

I'll go the latter.

Strawbs narrowly over Camel, then Marillion, then I don't care.

I voted for Riverside.  If you had multiple choices, I would have picked Marillion also.  I found personal likes and dislikes on both Logan's and your list.  That's the beauty of having individual tastes.

I have exotic tastes in dancers. ;) My tastes are diverse. We definitely have our differences in tastes, but also overlap (especially in classic stuff). I've often mentioned the Snow Goose being one of my favourite albums, and I know you you like it very much. .

I like music in this poll very much, particularly by Camel, Strawbs and Horslips-- I have multiple Camel albums and Strawbs, but only The Táin by Horslips. I tend to veer towards the underdog in a poll, but I am voting Camel. The debut to Moonmadness plus A Live Record have meant very much to me. If this were multiple choice like my poll, I'd vote for those three.

EDIT: Like I said in my poll in response to you, "What can be interesting, but rarely is, is how tastes may totally differ on some things while harmonising on others. I tend to seek and focus more on the connections rather than the disconnections." But actually, I am interested in where those tastes both diverge and converge. When I think of you, I think, yeah we have differences but also similarities (I pay attention to what people like and don't like partially as I'm interested in people, and getting to know them more fully). I have broad tastes, and like most people here, I like a lot of the classic prog. Of the others in the list, I have found music I liked too (I've looked into all of them, and was recommended a Big Big Train track that I really enjoyed). Some can take a little more digging than others (I'm not generally that big on metal, a lot of hard rock, or arena rock/ AORish melodic rock). I like a lot of pastoral music and am more of a folky than a rocker at heart. My first love was classical music. There'a lot of folk, classical, jazz, rock, pop, lounge, Indie, electronica, academic, world music, some country music, that I love. Some is complex, some is simple, some is so-called avant garde, some is mainstream, some is "art" music, some is more industrial, some is oft considered high-brow, some low-brow, some is exotic and some is quite pedestrian. I do love exotica and the quirky.

Logan has put his exotic choices in a poll: he and I have very disparate tastes, so I thought I'd chuck my take on the 10 best bands into the mix.
I had to make a very tough choice to eventually leave Lazuli out, which is a pity because it's the only French band I've ever really liked.
