from that list:

1. Yes & Genesis
2. King Crimson 73-74 era is great IMO...I should give their 80s albums another try cause I couldn't get their sound except for some songs: "Requiem" is awesome... haven't listened to their 90s projects yet..but Larks,
Starless and Red are among my favorite prog albums
?. Pink Floyd... used to like them a lot (except for DSOTM) and had every single album but then something happened...I dunno...guess that happens...got bored and that was it

Genesis and Yes for sure. Pink floyd were not capable of playing anything other than mellow music. Crimson only lasted until 1974, but their albums were patchy until then. Their 80s and 90s were more consistent though

Mellow music? - The nile song, Money, Run like hell, One of these days, In the flesh, Sheep. Hmmmm, can't mellow out to those tracks

1. King crimson - love of my life (hope my wife do'nt read this).

2. Pink floyd

3. Genesys

4. Yes

All did great music, though I must admit I heared Yes much less (have only CTTE, Fragile & Relayer) while all the others are known and loved for many years now.

I think other great 70's giants should be mentioned are : VDGG, JT, ELP, Robert Wyatt, Renaissance & GG. For me Rush is a nice band but not in the league of the others here, sorry.

I also think The moody blues and The nice should be mentioned as the real beginers of prog and quite quality music makers.
