Five would be too few, but if I have to choose, I can choose only two because three of these five have native rights to appear on such a list.

Pink Floyd
Yes
Genesis
Alquin
Deluge Grander

Genesis
Yes 
Steven Wilson
Kayo Dot
Anathema

Saying bye to King Crimson will kill me (No 6 on the list if I was allowed it) but KD fill that chaotic, avant-garde, unpredictable gap better. Genesis, Yes and SW are no-brainers to me, they sum up my love for all things Prog perfectly and I can listen to them over and over without tiring (and do great pop as well!). Anathema cover the emotional stuff and beautiful arrangements.

It would be a real tragedy that i had to listen to only 5 bands for the rest of my life, but to play the game i will choose some that have a decent discography :

Rush
Genesis
Flower Kings
Porcupine Tree
Steven Wilson (he might have at least 10 albums until i die...)

Pink Floyd and four bands that don't exist yet

There's plenty of non-prog music I love, so I'd be ok for music, which is why four of my five are future bands that don't exist.

Magma (giving full access to Offering, Simon Goubert, Vander solo... & the quintessence of Gong's collection, via the Malherbe connection) 
Miles Davis (Hancock, Zawinul, Corea, Coltrane, Williams, McLaughlin, Holland, DeJohnette et. al.)
Frank Zappa (Preston, Beefheart, maybe pre-DSOTM Floyd...)
Henry Cow (Frith, Cutler, Hodgkinson, News From Babel, Art Bears, The Work, Greaves, Blegvad, Cooper, Moore, Krause, Slap Happy, maybe Wyatt thanks to the Concerts collaboration) 
Genesis/Brand X

I could perfectly live with all of this, even more so because the (parts) of this list will still be expanding in the future ~
