Pink Floyd - Echoes
Babylon - The Mote in God's Eye
King Crimson - Court of the Crimson King
StarCastle - Diamond Song
Smoke Rise - Survival
Gypsy - Gypsy Queen
Gentle Giant - On Reflection
Styx - Little Fugue in G Minor
Emerson, Lake and Palmer - Jerusalem
Le Orme - Contrappunti

I am a huge fan of fugues, and the use of counterpoint. One reason I love Prog Folk, and renaissance style prog music (and the only reason I love Gentle Giant as much as I do).
But the sun is eclipsed by the moon. -- Pink Floyd

Oh yeah-that song is an absolute musical tour de force!  All five members bring forth incredible virtuosity and somehow they harness what should have been absolute mayhem into a coherent whole, run through contrasting movements, but always propelling forward with great energy.  It is the ultimate exposition of what Yes were capable of in both composition and execution.

I'm omitting artists, otherwise my list would be rather different. This is what comes to mind first, and I don't know if I have ten particular favourite bands.

Art Zoyd - Migrations
Can - Mother Sky
Comus - Winter is a Coloured Bird
Soft Machine - Moon in June
Van der Graaf Generator - Darkness
Popol Vuh - In Den Garten Pharaos
Magma - Sohia (on second thought, Theusz Hamtaahk)
Dom - Edge Of Time
Tangerine Dream - Atem
Cardiacs - Big Ship
