That Yes, Genesis, and Tull would create music as good as they did in their 70s heydays.

No request from me, thanks, I have everything I need.
Ditto I suppose. I've seen my heroes live, have even met a few in person. I've done sound in some of the best sounding rooms in the country. What's really left?
Ok, if I did had "one" wish it would probably be to do sound for ELP on the Welcome Back tour, and maybe for Peter Gabriel on the Plays Live tour. Oh and for Yes on the Going For The One tour...all right... for any of them on any of their tours...who the hell am I trying to kid.
Thank you for supporting independently produced music

One of my wishes really did come true. I once wished that Magma would reform so I could see them perform "Kohntarkosz" and "MDK" live, and then go back in the studio and record some of those old pieces they never got around to recording (or never had the budget to record). And then it happened, in that exact order.
Other vague wishes going thru my head:
A virtual reality helmet that can recreate the experience of seeing [band] in [year] at [venue] while doing [drug]. Cartridges available at your local Wal-Mart.
And on a more serious note, I wish Pink Floyd had not fractured the way they did, and that Waters, Mason, Wright and Gilmour had continued to innovate and top themselves well into the 80s and 90s, with creative masterpieces that make Dark Side sound like the Shaggs.

It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased.
I wish for a complete set of pristine quality films and recordings of every Pink Floyd rehearsal, jam session, radio session, soundcheck, live gig and TV appearance that they ever did. No such thing exists, of course, but this is my wish. Thankyou, O Genie!
If this is too much, just give me the first ten or fifteen years.

Wish I had the bucks to buy more prog and the absolute best stereo system to hear it.
That and an all-star lineup of King Crimson playing in my living room some evening for me and a small group of friends (small living room-small crowd).

One wish, that the original (five) members of the Mahavishnu Orchestra would reform and do a tour. They are all still alive and for the most part available.

hmmmm.....
funny because I enjoy good naturely picking on the group and its fans almost as much as Genesis/Camel.
that Rush had started 4 or 5 years earlier and had a longer traditional prog rock period ala the 1st gen prog rockers before they went the way of arena AOR rock and limp dick 80's synth rock.

My own wish? That the hugely talented modern prog bands that are active nowadays (especially here in the US) enjoyed as much support as their Seventies counterparts, instead of counting themselves lucky to play before 50 people.

interesting.. and an interesting discussion potentially to be had there. Everyone agrees it is a different world today than it was then, question is.. is that for the better or the worse. For the bands, for us the fans - the audience, for the music itself. All 3 separate entities each impacted by the fundamental changes in the way music is recorded, distributed, and marketed today.
