I chose 25 quite well-known less classic bands included in PA as Prog, and then used Rate Your Music's top ranked song for each band (that ranking is based on an amalgamation of ratings and a particular algorithm).

This was harder to pair down as I thought quite few more, I generally wanted more than just a few albums (like more than three), to get some variety, and to go with pretty well-known and/or popular names. Leaving out, say, Anglagard was hard. I wanted Death, would have liked black midi, and quite a few others.

Please list and vote for up to five of these tracks (only one vote per song).

I should have included the album list in the OP before as that can help with response.

Anekdoten - Karelia
Arena - The Hanging Tree
Art Zoyd - La ville
Big Big Train - The Underfall Yard
Cardiacs - Dirty Boy
Dream Theater - A Change of Seasons
The Flower Kings - World of Adventures
Haken - Cockroach King
IQ - Sacred Sound
Kayo Dot - The Manifold Curiosity
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - The Dripping Tap
Marillion - Script for a Jester's Tear
Motorpsycho - Sinful, Wind-Borne
Opeth - Ghost of Perdition
Pain of Salvation - A Trace of Blood
Pendragon - Paintbox
Porcupine Tree - Anesthetize
Present - Promenade au fond d'un canal
Radiohead - Paranoid Android
Riverside - Second Life Syndrome
Spock's Beard - At the End of the Day
Swans - Helpless Child
Thinking Plague - Lycanthrope
Tool - Parabola
Univers Zero - Jack the Ripper
Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I observed before. It can be much like that with music for me; immersed in experiencing the moment.

Thanks, and I love your choices. :)

I'll go with:
Art Zoyd - La ville
Cardiacs - Dirty Boy
Swans - Helpless Child
Thinking Plague - Lycanthrope
Univers Zero - Jack the Ripper

Incidentally, I have considered both Dirty Boy and Helpless Child to be like my signature songs at different times.

^ very nice.

While I was particularly trying to think of popular choices, especially to remember ones that are not so much in my wheelhouse, I regret forgetting what has become one of my very favourite bands, which is Godspeed You! Black Emperor (my fave band from Canada). The rateyourmusic pick would be "Sleep" for it.
