The Pink Floyd is by far my favourite of all time. Truly the epicentre of English prog, often simplicity at it's most intense and as complicated as the many others there are. Gentle Giant--often at 9 members at a time one of THE most complex prog bands ever. King Crimson, truly English just like The Pink Floyd and as simple and complex at the same time. Tangerine Dream, a German fav who's music goes in to new realms everytime. Kraftwerk(1969-1971) Originally called the Organisation the swirched to the name Kraftwerk by late 69 early 70 and are definitly a fav. Later kraftwer I consider to be Prog but love it all anyways! Rush-just the best Canadian prog band ever! Newer bands--Tool for sure can be in the prog catagory for their new album 10,000 Days and Lateralus. Prog is THE only way to listen to music. Cheers. I do have other favs but let's keep it here for now! DG

I would have to say that Queen is my favorite progressive rock band. Their music was catchy and mostly radio-friendly, yet very inventive. They mixed many different types of music into their work too, which gives them more of an edge. Overall, their songs are just great...period. Who doesn't know "We Will Rock You," "Bohemian Rhapsody," or "We Are the Champions?" Also, their stage shows were killer. I unfortunately was never able to go to a concert, but my dad went to several and he said it was amazing. Freddie Mercury was such a talented stage performer, and the shows had an insane amount of energy.
