ELP
S Hackett
Le Orme
Vangelis
And the one below my signature (CF), unfortunately just one single album, but a damn hell of a good one!
EDIT: in reality this sort of selections live for such a short time considering my life span...

Not fair... 
Pink Floyd Yes (Only to get the Solos) Genesis Rush Jethro Tull
I wanted to choose more obscure bands than the big five, but I really couldn't do it. Can I also have clarification that if I choose Yes, get Bruford's solo albums, do I get to have King Crimson based on your second rule?

In no particular order
Jethro Tull Camel Steve Hackett Gentle Giant King Crimson I would miss Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd, ELP, and others, but my choice would be these five.

I've focused on bands who have not only produced amazing albums but who's whole discography I can easily listen to
White Willow (Which would give me Wobbler and In Lingua Mortua from Lars, The Opium Cartel from Jacob, Synkoke from Ellen Andrea Wang, Anglagard from Mattias Olson and anything else he's done.)
Pain of Salvation (This gives me access to The Flower Kings, Transatlantic and Meshugga, but I think I'll skip these and go for The Shadow Theory and Dark Suns Grave Human Genuine which had Kristoffer Gildenlow on bass.)
Kayo Dot (Lets see, thats maudlin of the Well, solo, Tartar Lamb, Tusk, Secret Chiefs 3 and Vaura from Toby, Balliset from Greg Massi, Time of Orchids from Bodie, and probobly dozens of other avant guard acts from the other band members)
Fen (Which gives me To-Mera thanks to their drummer)
Van der Graff Generator (Hammill solo, The Tangent and god knows what else.)
It was a toss up between VdGG and King Crimson for the last slot.

Hmmm.....tough choices ..again. King Crimson....I love their music and then you get Fripp solo and side projects also and UK, etc Genesis....same here with Gabriel, etc, though I can't say I care that much for the later Genesis/Collins albums Porcupine Tree....like all of their albums and then you get Wilson solo and No -Man etc .. Caravan.....being a big Canterbury fan it gives access to the solo efforts as well as Hatfield, Nat Health, etc.. Jethro Tull....love all of the earlier albums....would miss them if I didn't have them to play...not a lot of peripheral solo things here but ces't la vie.

Rush....Shear brilliance Genesis....Pop, Prog, Symphonic magic, hits everything Dream Theater....My metal fix Steven Wilson....PT and solo would be more than enough, but add in Blackfield as icing Marillion....tons of albums all ranges of styles Between all these must be 100+ albums.....Plenty of music.

I would find it difficult to choose only five, but one would be Transatlantic, which would give me access to a large selection of prog music from Dream Theater, Marillion, Spock's Beard, The Flower Kings, Pain of Salvation to name just the main ones. Yes would be another obvious one - with so many different members over the years who have been involved with other bands I would be able to include a good number of bands and plenty of solo albums giving plenty of variety.

Genesis (Hackett, gabriel etc (do I have to take Collins too?))
Gong (Hillage, Here and Now, University of Errors, Soft Machine?, Pierre Moerlin's Gong, MotherGong, Tim Blake, Haadouk Trio, System 7, Pip Pyle was in National Health and Hatfield too, and Bill Bruford played for Gong for a while does that mean I can claim King Crimson etc?)
Tangerine Dream (Klaus Schultze)
Kate Bush
Cardiacs

no brainer for me Genesis ( has to be top choice given I get Peter Gabriel and Steve Hackett plus those Phil Collins albums will do nicely as coasters) ELP ( so this also gets me The Nice, Atomic Rooster's debut album and the Asia albums with Carl Palmer on if I understand it correct) Tangerine Dream ( so I get Klaus Schulze , Edgar Froese, Johannes Schmoelling as well??!) Mike Oldfield ( on his own will suffice!) Porcupine Tree/Steven Wilson (yep a load of stuff)

"Can I also have clarification that if I choose Yes, get Bruford's solo albums, do I get to have King Crimson based on your second rule?" If you choose Yes you can include Bruford's albums but not KC...

I was wondering if Opeth comes with a Steven Wilson selection...given he produced for them.

More heavy prog, please!

Steve Hackett
Genesis
Frank Zappa
Jade Warrior
Henry Kaiser
Oh, if I can subsume Steve Hackett under Genesis, then I can have another open spot for...I'm not sure. Gong? Jethro Tull? Focus? Anglagard? Adrian Belew? One of those most likely. I'd have to think about it some more. Not ready to sign anything just yet.
