Good topic idea Greenback 
1. Magma
2. Rick Wakeman's solo career
3. Alan Parsons Project (although I haven't heard Tales of Mystery and Imagination)
4. Magenta (sorry Ivan)
5. Dream Theater
And I'm going to have to echo the nomination of Patrick Moraz' solo career

Hmm I like everything here, except for Moraz of course.
Starcastles pretty bad. But I usually tend to stay away from the bad stuff so I can't name any others.

Hey Useful Rick Wakeman's solo career? What about:
- Six Wives of Henry the VIII
- Myths and Legends
- Journey to the Centre of the Earth
- No Earthly Connection
- Criminal Record
That 5 albums are outstanding, I know he has a lot of boring New Age, but he has other good albums too IMHO.
Magenta is a matter of taste, some poeople love them, others hate them, that's natural
My votes:
- Asia
- Styx (From the progressive perspective, but they had good non prog stuff)
- GTR
- Three
- Jon Anderson's solo career (Booooooring)
Iván
PS: Isn't it funny to notice that almost all the people with an ELP related avatar hate Triumvirat? Not offence please, only noticed it.

This is a pretty negative thread and will give margin for more brawls.
I Totally disagree with Wakemans solo career; more than 25 albums some pretty fantastic and ok there are some crappy ones among them.
Patric Moraz you gotta be kidding !
Triumvirat  ?
ELP ?

Ivan...I missed the 1 in front of 25.... .
Starcastle had some great songs but was slaugthered by the midia as Yes clones (unfair) just like Triumvirat with the ELP clone stamp.

that's completely crazy! I thought the least favorite prog bands would be more unanimous than the most favorite ones!

well... i don't know that many non-famous prog bands (even among prog fans). I'm sure a lot of the artists included on the archives are really bad, but i've never heard them.
