Dude, I was surprised to see Tool and Opeth classified under Prog Rock at first,  of course they are Progresive Metal   but it all comes under the wide umbrella of Prog Rock in the end.

Probably Paco, but the group of best known bands is also known as The Big 5 and includes Yes, Genesis, King Crimson, ELP and Pink Floyd, I went a little further adding Jethro Tull, because it's as famous (and mentioned) as the other 5, but Camel is definitely not in the Big 5 group, despoite their great  quality as musicians.

Nice to see Camel right up there already - but OMG!! I just noticed that GONG aren't in the NOT list, thanks to onslo's vote for Steve Hillage! There's two more right there! Then there's Gilli Smyth and Davied Allen... and the Softies...

Better stop now - that was 5 more

Ok, let's go:

- Mike Oldfield: Come on! My favourite artist. His 70s output is essential prog,. And he was one of the few who continued producing prog albums succesfully in the 80s.

- Camel: It shold be on the NOT list. Because they were second generation proggers, they tend not to be included in the best lists. But this is the most moving group I know.

- Strawbs: The never made a completly perfect album, but Cousins is a great composer AND poet.

- Caravan: Pye hastings is such a nice person... And how can anyone not like a group with lyrics like 'The Dog, the dog is at it again'!

- The Enid: I like them because they represent the total opposite of what is fashionable nowadays.

I thought Opeth and Tool were 1990s bands, and PT very late 1980s?

My 5;

Camel

Amon Duul II

Hawkwind

The Enid

Marillion (OK, I'm cheating a little, because they were Silmarillion back in 1979 - if this is disallowed, I'll vote for Twelfth Night).
