The best 10 progresssive rock bands of all time

After having heard all their albums from the late 60s and 70s, this is
my conclusion.

01. Yes
02. Pink Floyd (if they are prog)
03. Van der Graaf Generator (if they are prog)
04. King Crimson
05. Kraftwerk (if they are prog)
06. Can
07. Moody Blues (if they are prog)
08. Beatles (if they are prog)
09. Jethro Tull
10. Rush

Sorry, but I never got the hype with Genesis, ELP, Gentle Giant, Dream
Theater, Kansas, Styx etc.

Again, you don't seem to have grasped the difference between 'The best' and
'My favourite'.

Yeah. Bumping into Floyd Drummer and race car driver Nick Mason (who is old,
and comes across like an "angry accountant!") compared to good old Hamilton
skin master Neil Peart who is still working hard (compared to Mason) can be a
blast, can have its days.

All the groups that you parenthesized (if they are prog) could be classified
as "prog" groups - I don't see why not - it's not a cut 'n dried definition.
Practically any music could have certain elements of prog, with the
exception maybe of country 'n western, basic blues, or Jerry Lee Lewis .....
It would be tricky to come up with an actual definition for what constitutes
prog or not - it would probably be a fairly complex definition - strong
elements of the classics married with jazz improvisation (within tight
parameters ) .....
