OK, I make a rule conforming submission as well, sacrificing King Crimson (who will hopefully appear on enough other lists) to end up with

Comsat Angels
Can
Art Zoyd
Kate Bush
Talk Talk (really on a par with Cardiacs)

If non-prog/related (The Fall and SV) were left out, I'd add:

Captain Beefheart
Jethro Tull

If non-prog only, I'd add Sonic Youth and a couple of Finnish bands no foreigners know about. 



A damn fine choice sir but I don't think that's what the OP had in mind Clap

ELP
Crazy World of Arthur Brown
King Crimson
the Nice
Maxophone (yep, based on just two studio albums so kill me)



That is what I had in mind, lol.  The Fall is totally legal in this list!


That being the case:
ELP
the Kinks
the Cure
the Nice
the Fall

(Oops! I thought the poll was asking for our favorite bands/artists not just from the prog realms of music!)

Prog bands? How 'bout:
Genesis
John McLaughlin
Yes
Area
Pat Metheny

I am asking about your favorite artists from any genre, not just prog.

Okay, then! Now that we've got that straightened out, back to the real list:

1. Ryuichi Sakamoto
2. David Sylvian
3. Everything But the Girl
4. Pat Metheny
5. Cocteau Twins
Drew Fisher

Generally speaking, Prog Music Lounges are for Prog artists, and General Music Discussions are for all kind of music. Big smile

You hope?! Why? I only assumed people post 5 prog artists because the thread is in the prog section of the forum. It's at least logical. LOL

What I don't hope is that the major part of people's 5 most favourite artists should be non-Prog.

so what if it is, non-prog can be a lot of good things such as blues, jazz, rock, metal, classical music and many others.

Apparently, lol. You can say right in the title of the thread "regardless of genre" and people will still assume you only want prog artists. Oh well, the top five overall will probably be all prog anyway, so it won't affect the final result, just my curiosity about what other kinds of music everyone else listens to!

well, the thread is in the prog section of the forum. 

You could ask for a prog top 5 and a non-prog top 5.

Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)
