Bands w/ 3 or more albums in the sub-genre top-10s

I decided to through Prog Archives top ten charts looking at each Prog sub-genre (category) to see how many categories have three of more albums by the same band in the top 10 of its sub-genre's chart, and I made a list that came to 24 bands with over 80 albums in total that fit the criteria. This is part one.   

I have included the ranking (the number to the left of the band-name and album) for the genre charts in the list below. Note: Since I have taken this off the charts and this site does not tag individual albums, we will find an album like Kind of Blue, or specifically Kind of Blue in the master-list, which is not JRF but still fits per my methodology. I just ask that people vote for a favourite album no matter how well they think it represents the category.
