IMO these are the 10 essential prog bands (in order of best to worst IMO):

Rush

Jethro Tull

Yes

Genesis

Van der Graaf Generator

ELP

Pink Floyd

King Crimson

Camel (haven't heard much, but like what I hear)

Gentle Giant (see comments on Camel)

 

Anyway I think these ten bands should be the standard 'Big 10' as opposed to all these big threes and sixes.  Put them in order of your preference.

  4. Van Der Graaf Generator
  5. Camel
  6. Genesis

In the freedom of music
But glittering prizes
And endless Compromises
Shatter the illusion
