This is easy for me:
Kansas (my favorite band)
Yes (my second favorite band)
Rush (my third favorite band)
Echolyn (my fourth favorite band)
Epignosis (well, I have to be able to hear myself, don't I?)

Jethro Tull (which would include band member solo projects from Martin, Barrie, Glenn Cornick, Dee Palmer and Ian, UK, Black Sabbath, The Nice, Blodwyn Pig, Carmen, Cat Stevens, Steeleye Span, Fairport Convention and perhaps another 100 bands or projects) Genesis (for Gabriel, Rutherford and Hackett solo projects -- omit the Phil Collins pap) Yes (the Wakeman solo stuff alone makes it worthwhile) Pink Floyd (together or apart: Gilmour, Waters, Mason, Wright and Barrett) Frank Zappa (albums from his sidemen alone would be great, like Jean Luc Ponty, Aynsley Dunbar and George Duke)

Pink Floyd.
Yes (I would have chosen Rick Wakeman too, but since it's included, well, that's even better).
Dream Theater.
Mike Oldfield.
And since I don't have to choose Rick Wakeman, I have one more slot. I guess it would have to be Genesis (though it might just as well be Jethro Tull, King Crimson, or some Prog Metal band, or perhaps Rhapsody of Fire, in order to get some more medieval sounding music into the mix, or Nightwish).

TWalsh wrote.....I was wondering if Opeth comes with a Steven Wilson selection...given he produced for them. No Soup for you! Not in this Nazi soup kitchen...(See Seinfeld episode #116) No Opeth for Steven Wilson , No Opeth for you, but you do get Storm Corrosion... Steven Wilson has to at least to play on, sing or write 33% to be included.

Damn, 'cause I really like soup, too. Apparently I can't read instructions well, either.
This is tough for me.
In no particular order...
Steven Wilson for PT and solo work. Dream Theater - I'm learning there is more and better but still consider them solid and good quality. And I'll finally get around to Liquid Tension Experiment.. Riverside - A new favorite and access to Lunatic Soul, whom i haven't heard yet. Pain of Salvation - just because. Yes - because I don't want it all heavy, all the time.

Hmm...I wonder how many here would choose the same 5 bands if they were only allowed those bands actual albums and no side or solo or connected projects?

Hi,
How sad ... if it were your child in a progressive band ... you would not take an interest!
You can't live in the past like this and maintain a decorum of "progressive" by being so damn regressive and stuck back in time!
WOW!
NONE in the past for me, although I will always remember many things that were special to my heart! But "new" and "alive" is far more important and deserves a chance ... but we can't look at them because we're stuck on the same old pair of shoes and sox!
Bummer!

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Le Orme - for when I want to feel sentimental and a little psychedelic
PFM - for when I want to feel the lift with a little reminiscence of growing up near Milan
Gentle Giant - for a little mind twist
Pink Floyd - my soul is still suspended there between Atom Heart Mother, Wish You Were Here and The Dark Side
Napoli Centrale - they played early fusion and still make my mind trip

Good question. I allowed solo projects by the creators, because otherwise we would be cheering for a name of a band, and I wanted to follow the individuals. Thus, you can count solo material and band projects like Red 7, if you chose Genesis as one of your bands. It's kind of like pro and college team sports. The teams roster rolls over continuously...Only the uniforms remain the same... When you break team sports down, everybody is cheering for the hometown laundry.

I did, why anyone would NOT sort have reflects that their choices sucked and needed augmentation.  The title did say BANDS.. not Bands and associated/connected acts.
