This is tough. I have to expand to ten...

1-Supertramp (They have such a distinct sound, and their first 3 albums are a lot better than what they're known for)(3 songs-Asylum, Try Again, Brother Where You Bound)

2-Pink Floyd (3 songs-Sheep, Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Echoes)

3-Chicago [Terry Kath era] (When their virtuoso guitarist kicked the bucket, all that awesome jazz infused rock went to pot)(3 songs-Liberation, Poem 58, Introduction)

4-Yes [Befrore 'Drama'] (3 songs-Yours Is No Disgrace, America, Close To The Edge)

5-Genesis [Every album with Steve Hackett](3 songs-Squonk, Can Utitility and the Coastliners, Here Comes The Supernatural Anasthaetist)

6-Frank Zappa (3 songs-Inca Roads, Willie The Pimp, Don't Eat The Yellow Snow)

7-The Who [From 'Tommy' to 'Who Are You'] (3 songs-Won't Get Fooled Again, Who Are You, Dreaming From The Waist)

8-Jethro Tull [Aqualung-Songs From The Wood] (3 songs-Thick As A Brick, Cross Eyed Mary, Hymn 48)

9-Led Zeppelin (3 songs-In My Time Of Dying, How Many More Times, The Song Remains The Same)

10-Traffic (3 songs-Empty Pages, Glad, The Low Spark Of High Heeled Boys)

All lists in no specific order

Old prog:

Pink Floyd
King Crimson
Frank Zappa

New prog:
Porcupine Tree
Flower Kings
Spock's Beard
Tool
Opeth

Rock/Metal:
Enslaved
Windir

If I were to narrow it down to just 5 bands total, it would probably be Porcupine Tree, Pink Floyd, Opeth, Rush and Nile.

Only 5!

1. King Crimson (especially Red, Discipline and Lizard)

2. GonG (especially the Radio Gnome Trilogy, Shamal and Camembert Electrique)

3. Zappa (especially Hot Rats, Roxy & Elsewhere and The Grand Wazoo)

4. Tool (especially Lateralus and Aenima)

5. Can (especially Tago Mago, Ege Bamyasi and Future Days)

I could also fit Primus, Ayreon, Yes, Opeth and the Ozrics into the Top 10, but i can't think of an order...
