Hmmm...I thought I replied to this years ago. I guess not. But as I have the ability to count to 10 and thankfully not have to take my shoes and socks off to count to 20, here goes:

Jethro Tull
Pink Floyd
Yes
Genesis
King Crimson
The Moody Blues
Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Traffic
Frank Zappa
Gentle Giant

to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...

It changes all the time, but:
1. Egg
2. Henry Cow
3. Van Der Graaf Generator
4. Magma
5. Gentle Giant
6. Gong
7. Ash Ra Tempel/Ashra (I like to count that as a one project, there is a small gap between late ART and Ashra)
8. Gryphon
9. Tangerine Dream
10. Soft Machine

I feel, though, some RPI might come in soon, it's loads of fun exploring the genre right now. Smile

Frank Zappa / Mothers of Invention
Todd Rundgren / Utopia (not always prog, but prog often enough)
Yes
Grateful Dead (prog in my opinion, and it's ridiculous NOT to consider them prog in my opinion)
King Crimson
Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Pink Floyd
Jethro Tull
Queen
Genesis

(I didn't list some artist that I consider heavily prog influenced but not actually prog, like Led Zeppelin, who'd otherwise be my #4 above, and I'm not listing artists who are fusion instead, like Pat Metheny, who'd be above Pink Floyd otherwise)

  • Pink Floyd
  • Zappa
  • ELP
  • Renaissance
  • Porcupine Tree
  • King Crimson
