#1 UK

HUGE JUMP(mainly because I know few bands from the following countries, the jump isn't because of quality)

#2 U.S (Zappa and Metheny)
#3 Sweden (The Flower Kings)
#4 Argentina (almost everything by Spinetta and Crucis)
#5 Germany and Poland (Triumvirat and Ashra from GER and Skaldowie from POL)

Not including Canada for Rush, because I mainly categorise most Heavy Prog bands with Hard Rock/Heavy Rock, though not neglecting their prog credentials, just don't think the Prog that Heavy Prog bands is much in the style of the rest(not all of course)

1. UK (I think almost any prog fan would choose UK 1st because it is the country that in my opinion produced the best and more diverse prog bands)
2. Italy (obvious for me, but I dont agree with people that say the Italian Prog is of hte "second wave" of proggers, in that way they are "on par" with the UK for me)
3. Germany (Most of the electronic Prog comes from Germany, so....)
4. Sweden (Based on what I've heard of Samlas and other bands)
5. France (Because of Magma, one of the most creative bands I've heard ever)

Well, technically England and Wales are not countries. They are parts of a big country called Great Britain you know? Wink

1.UK (Genesis, Yes, VdGG and King Crimson alone would put this at number 1)
2. Sweden (Flower Kings and Beardfish)
3. Italy (PFM, Banco, Le Orme)

Not sure what comes next. I suppose I ought to broaden my horizons.

Well England is certainly way ahead of everywhere else,but I don't know....Italy,of course,would have to be in the list as well.I noticed many people putting Japan in the list.
I'm just asking myself here,about all these marvelous japanese prog wonders.

I happen to find German prog mostly a rip off of the brittish bands,mostly.....well there is Kraftwerk,which is not,however,the purest definition of classic prog....a bit of an overlooked land for prog,if you ask me.
