Ok, alphabetical it is.
Banco Camel Echolyn ELP The Flower Kings Genesis Gentle Giant Happy the Man IQ Kansas King Crimson Marillion Nektar Ozric Tentacles PFM Porcupine Tree Rush Spock's Beard Van der Graaf Generator Yes Honorable mention: Anglagard (I originally had them on my list but then when I counted there were 21 I took them off in order to play by the rules). Also, I haven't heard the entire discography of all of these bands but with the exception of Gentle Giant* I have seen all of these bands live at least once and several twice. * I did however see the band Three Friends which featured Gary Green and Malcom Mortimore. |
