All of the above are favoured by me.

I could  not in all conscience vote for any of those bands over the other ones as I'm big on all of them.  Each band has albums that I consider to be essential masterworks in my collection.

Amongst the list, Pink Floyd, Yes,  and Rush were my first loves (especially the Animals, Fragile, and Hemispheres albums which are all-time faves).

If the list were longer and so they made your list, I'd be tempted to vote for Focus or Le Orme (not prominent enough, I feel, in my circle) simply because those are my particular flavours du jour.

Jethro Tull, just amazing. Thick as a Brick is my favorite song ever, that album alone is reason enought for me to vote for them.
