Magma - Mogwai - Mr. Bungle. Putting This Mortal Coil under M is extravagant... they're pretty good though. Motorpsycho and Egisto Macchi also narrowly lost out. Would have loved to vote for Manfred Mann's Earth Band who got me into music addiction and prog.

^ I much prefer Air's Moon Safari to the band Moon Safari. I think it's wonderful that there is so much diverse music that people like, including just at a "little" community of forumites here at a fairly niche site just for the letter M. :)

--------------------------------------------

While Magma, Morricone and Moroder have been the most important to me for the longest time, and Macchi is brilliant, I might go with some things that have no vote. But later....

Magma, Motorpsycho, and Mercury Rev. There is evidence that I am an associate fabric that has a lot of diameters.

I'll admit I cheated and voted for all of my first four. They would all make the top three in any other letter.

Joni Mitchell     
Magma
Ennio Morricone     
Egisto Macchi
-
Herbie Mann
Moving Gelatine Plates  
Klaus Morlock     
Morte Macabre   
Mr. Bungle
Juana Molina

These would complete my list of 15 (Bennie Maupin might have ended up in the top ten) from your list:

I would also choose Moody Blues, MMEB, Mahavishnu Orch (I'm surprised these weren't included, Greg?), Mastermind, Myrath, Mind's Eye & Magellan...

and in homage to my teenage years, Magnum!

Dial "M" for Murder because this was murder hacking away at a longer list, and some want to see fatwa on me for what I left out.

I had 75 of my favourites to choose from, which already excused lots of popular choices, such as Marillion, Mostly Autumn, Magenta, Mahavishnu Orchestra, The Mars Volta, Pat Metheny, Metallica etc. For my list I mercilessly and rather haphazardly culled my long list to the 25 in the poll. The one I feel worst about leaving out is Mellow Candle, but I might do a second 25.

Here was my master list:

Egisto Macchi
Magick Brother & Mystic Sister
Magma
Michel Magne
The Magnetic Fields
Les Maledictus Sound
Malicorne
Mandingo
Maneige
Herbie Mann
Manfred Mann's Earth Band
Manna / Mirage
Gerard Manset
Albert Marcoeur
Marius Popp
Marsupilami
Massive Attack
Mastodon
Matching Mole
maudlin of the Well
Bennie Maupin
La Máquina De Hacer Pájaros
Maxophone
Mazzy Star
Shelagh McDonald
Loreena McKennitt
McLuhan
Mellow Candle
Melody's Echo Chamber (Melody Prochet)
Melt-Banana
Memoriance
Mercury Rev
Message
Mezquita
MGMT
MIA
Miasma & the Carousel of Headless Horses
Mid-Air Thief
Midlake
Midnight Oil
Charles Mingus
Miranda Sex Garden
Miriodor
miRthkon
Joni Mitchell
Toshiyuki Miyama & His New Herd
Kimio Mizutani
Connan Mockasin
Mogwai
Juana Molina
The Moontrekkers
Camila Moreno
Morgen
Mörglbl
Douji Morita
Klaus Morlock
Giorgio Moroder
Morphine
Ennio Morricone
This Mortal Coil
Morte Macabre
Mother Gong
Motorpsycho
Mount Eerie
The Mountain Goats
Moving Gelatine Plates
Mr. Bungle
Mr. Sirius
The Muffins
Martha Skye Murphy
Museo Rosenbach
Os Mutantes
Mythos

-----------------------------------------------

This poll contains acts both in and out of PA, but I feel that it "works".

Again, vote for three in the poll, or more or less (up to you), and please mention those, and I encourage people to mention what they like that is not in the poll. I expect that the "others" would be more popular than my list. And feel free to vote with limited familiarity. It's not a contest and the 25 I listed simply are 25 that I enjoy.

here are the past polls: 25 "L" List Acts & 25 "K" List Acts & 25 "I and J" List Acts & 25 "H" List Acts & 29 "G" List Acts & 26 "F" List Acts & 25 "E" List Acts & 26 "D" List Acts & 25 "C" List Acts & 25 "B" List Acts & 25 "A" List Acts
