Though I'm not particularly fond of them, I say yes.

Like Marillion progressed progrock into the eighties DT did the same in the nineties, so yes.

top 10 according to me. (In order of importance)

1. Yes
2. Genesis
3. King Crimson
4. Gentle Giant
5. Van der Graaf Generator
6. Pink Floyd
7. Camel
8. Marillion
9. Dream Theater
10. Magma

 

eit: sorry left out ELP, but they belong on there too i suppose

I enjoy them, I just don't think they put out enough good material to make it to a top 10 prog band list.

They are a good band after all, but only half of their albums are good the other half is quite bad!

I mean : I&W, awake, scenes and 6 degrees are great albums                   

and FII, WDADU, TOT and Octavarium are really boring and not good. (although wdadu has it's moment. charlie dominici ruins everything)

They should try harder and not go to record an album for 3 weeks and then release it !!! and they should stop imitate U2 , muse and linkin park

YES!

not only are the the finest musicians out today( tohuhg not the best writers), they defined a generation of prog, and that alone puts them in the same boat as Yes

I can strangle a canary in a tin can and it would be really original, but that wouldn't save it from sounding like utter sh*t.
