Only 7?  I'm always a little torn in these "Top" polls over listing the bands that I recognize as most important to the genre of Prog Rock, and the ones I just personally like the most.  This list is something in between, I guess:

1. Marillion
2. Anglagard
3. Riverside
4. Steven Wilson
5. IQ
6. Opeth
7. Big Big Train

As a fan of Finnish music, big thanks for bringing this band to my attention. Somehow I had entirely missed them until now.

You're welcome! I hope you enjoy them. They're both fragile and intense, often at the same time. The singer ia a Finnish version of Peter Hammill. No kidding.

2. Guapo
3. Circle 
4. Alamaailman Vasarat
5. Kuusumun Profeetta
6. Koenjihyakkei 
7. King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard






Yup, the first four would easily make it to rank 11 to 14 in my list (below) Wink

prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

7 bands to choose from 40 years of music is rather difficult TBH.
I'll think about it and make a list soon. 
I'll take a wild guess that Marillion, Riverside & Enchant will all feature in your Top 7. Smile

Yes, it's true Wobbler have got off to a bit of a wobbly start with just 11 points amassed so far, but it's still early days yet. Smile
