I love Strangers in the Night. Don't know the others, but I should try them. Flying is one of my top...30...albums ever. It gets mediocre reviews, but I love every track on it.

It's funny, for a long time now I am planning to suggest them for prog related. This album is from their spacey years but I also love their hardrock years in which they were pretty progressive for a rock band ( Michael Schenker was brilliant of course). Their live album Strangers in the Night was legendary !
Who knows I will suggest them shortly.
By the way do you also know Ufo 1 and Live and Japan ? I have the vinyls (re-issues 1982). UFO 1 is from 1969 so in fact they are proto-prog. Actually it was more space rock than psychedelic/space prog but ok.

I love the classics: Genesis, Yes, King Crimson, Jethro Tull, ELP, Rush, Gentle Giant, Van der Graaf Generator, Frank Zappa, etc.
And the semi-prog to non-prog classics: Jimi Hendrix, Cream, The Doors, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, The Who, Spirit, The Kinks, Jefferson Airplane, Queen, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Blue Oyster Cult, David Bowie, etc.
And the other fairly famous classic prog bands: Uriah Heep, Gong, Soft Machine, Return to Forever, the Mahavishnu Orchestra, Hawkwind, Kansas, Focus, Caravan, ELO, Dixie Dregs, Camel, Atomic Rooster, The Moody Blues etc.
And the classic modern prog bands like: Liquid Tension Experiment, Porcupine Tree, The Flower Kings, Transatlantic, etc.
And the semi-prog modern bands like: The Gathering, The Decemberists, The Mars Volta, Phish, Tool, Pelican, etc.
So, after all that, I will list my top favorites that not everbody has heard of:
Kevin Gilbert (just amazing)
Crack the Sky (more rock than prog)
OSI (electronicy metal)
Raw Material (jazzy heavy prog)
Umphrey's Mcgee (jam band)
Oysterhead (Primus + Phish + X / 3)
Man Man (just weird)
Niacin (light fusion)
UFO (listen to "Flying" and tell me they're not prog)
The Paul Winter Consort (world fusion)
Ween (love 'em or hate 'em)
Idiot Flesh (hmmm...)
Esperanto (odd singer, great music)
Gravy Train (some early 70's prog)
John Zorn (free-jazz/jewish/something else)
Invisible (Argentinian prog)

This is according to Last.FM. I can't say it's completely accurate but it's as close as I'm going to get with one glaring ommission I can think of: High Tide. I love them but have so little material I can find to listen to they haven't made a splash yet, they'd most likely be in the top 20.

It's hard to choose: right now, last 5 years, all time?
I deferred to my library on last.fm a little bit. And I'm sure I'm missing some.

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.
