Also, though you might want to listen to the free mp3s of those bands first (located on their pages respectively), before you actually buy one of their albums.

Take a look at the list on the frontpage of the website (the top 100).  That'll give you a good place to start (Yes-CTTE, Genesis-Foxtrot, King Crimson-ITCOTCK...and then just go from there)

    I have listened to Pink Floyd for quite some time(I have Meddle DSOTM WYWH and The Wall).  I love their music.  I also really enjoy listening to the bands Coheed & Cambria and Sigur Ros which I believe would be considered prog.  The idea that prog was even a genre of music is new to me.  I'd never heard the term until visiting this site.  Not sure how I got here, just lucky I guess.  But what I'm hoping you guys can help me do is pick out some bands/albums to buy.  Being new to this genre and their being so many bands out there, I just want to be able to seperate the great from the garbage.  Thanks for any advice you can offer in helping me start my prog music collection.
