Just bands (no solo artists), and in no particular order:

- the Decemberists
- Kansas (70s lineup)
- Proto-Kaw
- Godspeed You! Black Emperor
- Pearls Before Swine
- Yes
- Supertramp
- Cerberus Shoal
- Faun Fables
- Smell of Incense
- Will-o-the Wisp

Sorry, couldn't stop at just 10.  Nya Ljudbolaget, Carol of Harvest and Ramases might have made this list if they'd have cranked out a few more albums before disappearing.  In the Labyrinth is up there too but technically that's a solo act with lots of accompaniment.

Top 6 at this moment:
 
Opeth
Genesis
Van Der Graaf Generator
Yes
Eloy
Camel
 
Those would surely be on my top 10. Then the last 4 spots could be for either King Crimson, Pink Floyd, Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso, Sinkadus, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Gentle Giant, ELP, Nexus, Flower Kings, Marillion or many many many others...
