Curved Air but blimey, you could have picked a better selection than that even avoiding the big names. 
Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

Voted Gryphon to give them some love but could have went with Oz or Curved Air just as easily. Thing is, I really only like a couple CA albums, but the ones I do I love to death. I love "Red Queen to Gryphon Three" and "Midnight Mushrumps".

Tempted to go for High Tide, to keep the pattern going. But, just above Ozrics I will vote with Henry Cow.

good choices, the fact that they do not belong in the absolute elite of the genre on the islands makes the choice quite difficult...I'll go with Beggars Opera on this one.

Lots to like here.

Pallas, The Ozrics and Colosseum are all excellent, but Gryphon are a long time favourite so they get my vote.

A vote for Egg. I know from Clive Brooks that Mont Campbell has new material but they have no budget for a new album and because they now live in different cities this material will likely remain unreleased. Really a pity, isn't it?

what about Nektar? They are less famous than Egg (I've seen several documentaries about British prog and Egg are always mentioned).

An easy choice for me, Colosseum, one of my top five groups of all time.

Henry Cow > Ozrics > Egg

Nice to see Chrome Hoof on here, I'm digging their latest, would have liked to have seem National Health or Hatfield listed.

^I thought Hatfield and Health were too well known; went with Egg instead. (That was for Noggy).
