What are you favourite bands that are still active, ie still release new material, tour. Bands releasing a best of collection every 5 year dont count!

Personnally:

1. Porcupine Tree
2. Opeth
3. Tool
4. The Mars Volta
5. Radiohead

Oh how could I forget these:
6. King Crimson
7. Peter Gabriel
8. Beck
9. Coldplay

Oh and how could I forget THESE:
10. Muse
11. Yes (well they havent released any quality stuff since 1977...)

I'd have to go with VdGG also, or Yes. (still praying for Genesis reunion)

Maybe I'd switch KC if they'd decide to grace us with their first good album since 1974.

Dude, your top 5 looks almost exactly like mine! But I would add Flower Kings, Sigur Ros, Godspeed and Enchant.

Also, another great band I kinda consider prog is Muse. Great stuff.

I heard Red Masque on a web prog radiio station once, and they impressed me favourably. But I can't remember any titles they played; I only recall there was one very long track, a 20 minute or so epic.
