If I LOVE Yes, Genesis, King Crimson, Gentle Giant, and ELP. Then what other
prog should I get. I have heard alot of Focus and PFM and it sounds really
good. Who else would I like?

Instead of giving you a bunch of band names that everyone else is gonna give to you I will recommend you a new band that has a very good symphonic sound just like the bands you mentioned.
Wobbler.......their debut album is called Hinterland .Definitely check it out.

I'd try some Jethro Tull. I'd start with Thick as a Brick, then work
chronologically foreward through Stormwatch, then go back to their
earlier stuff. It's really not the same as any of those, but I really
like all of the ones you listed as well as Tull.

There's a nice feature on the archives, which helped at least me to find many nice new titles. Browser shows some other albums from the same proggenre, which have had good ratings from those album reviewers who liked the current album. It think you need to have "show album covers" function active to make it work?

Camel is an obvious choice.

Van Der Graaf Generator might be good as a bit of a challenge but still something in a symphonic vein.

How about Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of War of the Worlds? I think that one is very well structured and has the storyline thing going on too. But most of all I think the music has elements of many of the bands he listed...
