I only voted for three: Camel, Rush, Marillion, in order of my preference. I burned out on Porcupine Tree after Fear of a Blank Planet and care nothing for Universe Zero.

Marillion
Univers Zero (for progheads who've only heard their first couple of albums, they got better in the 80's)

I only really love their first couple of albums. Or first three. After that they sound more like just about every other chamber/avant rock band ended up sounding imo.

I have only voted for UZ and Camel. And would vote for Porcupine Tree and Rush if I followed zravkapt's rules.

Dropped Marillion, though I like them well enough through the mid 90s.

While I love me some Porcupine Tree, when stacked up against the other bands listed, had to leave them off.  Holy smokes, I can't believe Rush is losing this thing right now.

Here's an idea.  Why not vote foor your least favourite of the five? Novel I know, but hey!

PT would be the one

I voted for Rush, Marillion and UZ.  Not that keen on Camel either.

Camel out, too dreamy for me, i always get the impression of being on my boat in the ocean without any moving waves... Marillion are just slighter more interesting than Camel, or at least the present era. Porcupine are very good and Univers Zero brings that dose of insanity that Prog Rock need. Rush are in my DNA even if they didn't make a good record in 3 decades.

Camel (without doubt the best band who have ever played), closely followed by Marillion and Rush and, a fair way behind, PT. 

Univers Zero are OK; they sound a bit what like Gryphon might have evolved into if they hadn't disbanded, but not as good.
