Are you sure you're a proghead ? LOL
 
I had to think hard to come up with six:
 
1. Atlanta Rhythm Section (by far !!)
2. Steely Dan
3. Santana
4. Gary Moore
5. UFO/ Neil Young
 
Like many others I had to pick some bands that are actually on PA. But at best prog related to me.

If GYBE isn't prog/PA-worthy, then 75% of post-rock that we accounted as progressive (erm...Ermm) goes down in flames.


1. Keith Jarrett
2. Esbjörn Svensson Trio
3. Led Zeppelin
4. Laurie Anderson (well, she's not here Cry)
5. uhm...R.E.M.? I don't know, terribly underdeveloped in anything apart from classical, jazz and prog.
