http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_(British_band)

"GOD were a British industrial ensemble formed in London.^[1] Founded by Kevin Martin and Shaun Rogan in 1987, the band expanded to include nine members and released two studio albums before disbanding in 1996."
^{Really unique sounding blend of Industrial, Free Jazz, Noise Rock with helpings of ambience and dub.  Not typical prog in the strictest sense, but an entirely unique and forward thinking band that touches on the avant-garde at times.  Noisy and abrasive ala Naked City but with a (early) Swans-esque approach to thundering rhythm and vocal delivery, at times metallic ala Godflesh (with there being and obvious connection), and others spacey and dub tinged like some PainKillers later live albums.}
Tim Hodgkinson, Justin Broadrick and John Zorn have played with them (the first two on both, Zorn on the first) as regular members.

	They didn't go over well as the name was already taken by a bigger artist.

	Uh... do you mean on this forum, or in general? There's a few bands named God, but nothing very popular, and nothing progressive. ...or do you just mean 'God?'
