Right you are, Blacksword.

Personally, I love David Bowie and Led Zeppelin, along with a lot of other classic rock acts (hence, my name)

Btw, alanerc, I like the band selection in your first post Wink

I like a lot of non-prog music, but most music that isn't prog that I like isn't rock :)

Jazz:
Miles Davis (Especially his avant-garde fusion albums, see "Bitches Brew")
Big Phat Band
Eric Dolphy (His "Out to Lunch" album is fantastic, any open minded person should give this a listen)

Electronic:
Squarepusher
Aphex Twin
Autechre (Very angular nowadays, probably not where you want to look for your first electronic experience :)

Classical:
Steve Reich
Philip Glass
Yes, I love minimalism :P

Like a lot of Psych,really fond of Jefferson Airplane,Love and Andwellas Dream.

Free are really good,one of the ultimate blues rock power house bands of the late 60's early 70's,and the Climax Blues band done a few good albums.Edgar Broughton Band,touches a nerve.
 
Patto.....a real soft spot for them.More jazz based but really excellent.
 
Nick Drake,strange,but he's grown on me over the last couple of years.

Took a while for me to get into both. But I have found the bands I have a hard time getting into are the ones I like best, and continue liking when I grow tired of other bands.

My Bloody Valentine were very influential but even so they're pretty overrated, at least when talking Shoegazing. Tried anything else from that genre by the way?

MBV had a few really good songs, but they were surrounded with pretty boring stuff. I like Slowdive's last album, but that's about it for the classics. Autumn's Grey Solace and A Shoreline Dream are very good for modern shoegaze, and I'm using Pandora to try to find some more.

         Another Wish , hoping in advance that one day it will become true , I join my voice to Markosherrera's ,
regarding many bands must be available one way or another , in progarchieves , such as Budgie , Free , Grand Funk Railroad , Ten Years After and many others listed by Markosherrera , cause these bands
brought to our music a lot of influence , Not to mention that many bands since the 60's , has been affected by their works . ........................................ Even if it crosses the red point of progressive in a minor terms , still
it's a must to be done in point of view ........thanks for progarchieves collaborators to take our opinion into consideration ////////////////       . Tracks Toni .

Of bands that are not on this site, I'd easily select Todd Rundgren.  The Police would probably be my second choice.

                              Agree with Todd , adding Lindisfarne , Foghat , Jeff Beck . Carmine Appice , Rory Gallagher , Budgie , Dust , Peter Frampton , Nazareth , Stone the Crows , Steve Hillage , Moody Blues , B.J.H , John Miles , David Mc Williams , Rare Earth , Boocker T & the MG's , Space , Didier Marouani , Giorgio Moroder , Elton John , Traffic , Stomu Yamashta , Steve Winwood , Jim Capaldi , Ten Years After , Spooky Tooth , Badger , Alice Cooper , ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, and to be honest , progressive music touch can be
found in so many works for these bands & artists , such as ( only as example )
              - hello of lies --- Alice Cooper  ,  - the days of pearly spencer --- David mc williams , - lady elianor ---
lindisfarne , - hard attack --- dust  , - music --- john miles , - get ready --- rare earth , - go.... yamashta's ,
-------------------------------------- and so many others tracks & bands involved one way or another in progressive music , by using the blues , jazz , classical , dance , folf & country , or even soul & pop .
             ---  Remark  =  So many talented artists & bands ,even songwriters & sound engineers , are not listed , did one way or another excellent releases since the 60's , and deserves the right  treatment in this
prospect .................................   Yours , Tracks Toni .

weird thread, I might as well just post my entire collection considering Prog only makes up small percentage of it,

Over 70% of the music I know at this point isn't prog, so far too many to count.

Talk Talk is a biggie, though.
