I need to include Rush in mine. I haven't been thrilled with anything since around Roll The Bones, but even a sub par Rush album is still a good one. Wedge Rush in between Neal Morse and Genesis on my last one.

I feel like I might have already posted on this awhile ago...but I'm in school and very bored so I'll post one again...
 
This is a really hard question, I discover new music so frequently but I think If I were to list the 5 bands that influenced me the most and after the longest time I still dig the most would be...
 
Camel (Pre Richard Sinclair)
The Beatles (65- 69)
Caravan (69-74)
Gong
Van Der Graaf Generator
 
 
Thats it...

Surprisingly hard to name a top five. It changes all the time really. Two months ago it would have been slightly different, and in two months time it will probably be different again.
Nevertheless,at this particular time, these five probably hold the top positions.
 
1. Genesis. (Always my favourites, but only from '70 - '77.)
 
2. Flower Kings. (Yes, I really do rate them that highly.)
 
3. Steve Hackett. (One of the most consistent artists of all. Hasn't released anything I don't like.)
 
4. Yes. (But again, only in their peak period, from their debut album through to GFTO.)
 
5. Rush. (Again, one of the most consistent bands. Maybe four albums I don't care for, but the rest are wonderful!)
 
But knocking on the door, and appearing in the top five from time to time are such suspects as:
 
Porcupine Tree
Pink Floyd
Pendragon
Kaipa
 
and occasionally...
 
 Marillion.Smile

Whenever I get to a point where I think I can say these are them , 20 other bands come to mind ready to debate their exclusion. So today, Nick Lowe, Gary Numan, Osannah, Deep Purple, Zep, Motorhead, BTO, Beethoven, Accept, ZZTop, Univers Zero, Garolou, Harmonium, Offenbach, Porcupine Tree, Rolling Stones, PFM, Split Enz, Genesis, Dire Straits.
Yesterday they could have been - Neil Finn, Crowded House, Megadeth, Metallica, Le Orme, Ange, XTC, Tragically Hip, Klaatu, 1755, Trust, 10cc, Los Lobos, Aerosmith, Angel City, Kiss, John Hiatt, John Mellencamp, the Hives, the Sex Pistols.
Then I've got myself wondering if Big Sugar,Black Crowes, Public Enemy, Dave Brubeck, the Cars , Max Webster & Robert Charlebois etc ... shouldn't be in there , & suddenly I can't get to sleep Confused
Then to top that, I catch a Quebec talk show who have the starlet from the new Edith Piaf movie, & I find myself incessantly humming Offenbach's version of "L'Hymne a L'Amour". Cry

That's why I usually don't bother with top XX lists. I find they change too often. This week I'm listening to old Alice Cooper (pre-Hollywood Squares & golf celebrity), King Crimson,  Extreme, Genesis, Gentle Giant, Michael Schenker, & some of Johnny Cash's American Recordings' albums. Next week, I don't know.
 
But I do have a life, really I do. Big%20smileTongueWink And a wife, a daughter, two dogs & the attendant debt we middle class folk need to enjoy our existence. As long as they don't make me listen to Nickelback or Canadian/American Idol ...Dead I'm fine Smile

Yesterday they could have been - Neil Finn, Crowded House, Megadeth, Metallica, Le Orme, Ange, XTC, Tragically Hip, Klaatu, 1755, Trust, 10cc, Los Lobos, Aerosmith, Angel City, Kiss, John Hiatt, John Mellencamp, the Hives, the Sex Pistols.
Then I've got myself wondering if Big Sugar,Black Crowes, Public Enemy, Dave Brubeck, the Cars , Max Webster & Robert Charlebois etc ... shouldn't be in there , & suddenly I can't get to sleep Confused
Then to top that, I catch a Quebec talk show who have the starlet from the new Edith Piaf movie, & I find myself incessantly humming Offenbach's version of "L'Hymne a L'Amour". Cry

That's why I usually don't bother with top XX lists. I find they change too often. This week I'm listening to old Alice Cooper (pre-Hollywood Squares & golf celebrity), King Crimson,  Extreme, Genesis, Gentle Giant, Michael Schenker, & some of Johnny Cash's American Recordings' albums. Next week, I don't know.
 
But I do have a life, really I do. Big%20smileTongueWink And a wife, a daughter, two dogs & the attendant debt we middle class folk need to enjoy our existence. As long as they don't make me listen to Nickelback or Canadian/American Idol ...Dead I'm fine Smile

 
Ahh now I see.
Thats quite an impressive listThumbs%20Up

And now I've just finished cleaning my beer home brewing kit, & I'm thinking, well  , I forgot the Mars Volta, Raven, Robert Johnson, Iron Maiden, Hoodoo Gurus, Hindu Love Gods, Jellyfish & Queen; then things get difficult, cause I'm debating with myself. And we all can agree how long a battle of halfwits can go (one half & one half equals one wit, get it) without a resolution so, ..............

Pretty cliche I guess considering I'm into way more obscure bands, but I don't think these five will be topped in my personal opinion for quite some time...

My top five has changed around a bit since my last post three months ago. Currently, it looks something like this:

1. Hella
2. At the Drive-In (non-Prog, I know, but it seems to be all right to mention non-Prog bands)
3. Verto
4. Von Zamla
5. Shub-Niggurath
