Best progressive rock band?

These are my personal favorites:D

1. King Crimson

2. Pink Floyd

3. Frank Zappa

4. Genesis

5. Porcupine Tree

6. Jethro Tull

7. Opeth

8. Transatlantic

9. The Moody Blues

10. Yes

Ok Zappa isnt offically Progressive rock, but hes progressive enough for me.

Progressive Rock: Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Emerson, Lake, and Palmer, Asia (not sure if they count...probably not), Yes and Rush.

Progressive Metal: Opeth (Can't believe I forgot them...) Dream Theater, Ayreon, Pain of Salvation, Circus Maximus.

Rush is good, but their latest album was very dissapointing.

I have to disagree. I thought their latest album was actually fairly decent considering they've been putting out material for ages and manage to come up with new ideas still. I really enjoyed the first and last tracks on the album.

not really metal, but Godspeed You! Black Emporer is the best progressive band ever. Anyone who knows what I am talking about knows I am 100 percent correct. After Godspeed, nothing compares-Sniper99-

Great choice:D

This is my opinion...you can't have a prog list without Tool and Dream Theater. Opeth is way overrated, as is Zappa IMO.

If you're going to classify GSY!BE as prog-rock I might as well say them, but I'm more inclined towards the "post-rock" label.gasmaskman

What I'm implying is that their music is really soothing to the ears. In other words it's slightly ambient. I also listen to their longer songs when I'm working hard on school work.

Prog. rock is not a term I like to affiliate with bands I listen to, though I'm not even sure I listen to any bands considered prog.

Progressive rock - Tool

Progressive metal - Opeth

Sadly, most people ignorant to the genre despise it. They label it as "fake music". This saddens me because the musicianship is excellent most of the time, and I have high respect for most bands in the genre.

Oh, anything progressive. I wasn't insinuating you bashed the genre, I just happen to love it. Everyone who hates it probably hasn't taken the time to listen to the good pieces.

Let me clarify. I was not referring to GYBE as a PROGRESSIVE band. By that I mean they progress. I wasn't saying that is the genre, jsut saying that it was my favourite band that progresses. They are post rock, I know that. -Sniper99-

GSY!BE, Porcupine Tree, Ayreon, King Crimson, Opeth, EITS (explosions in the sky), DSO (Diablo Swing Orchestra), Mahavishnu Orchestra, Camel, Devin Townsend

Not sure if that list is 100% purely "prog."

Why bother shortening the band names if you're just gonna say what they are? :D

if youre including opeth, then throw in cynic as well.LoG-Sacrament

Porcupine tree ftw!inyourface_12

Dredgcametall

Cynic is fantastic, I got their reissue with the bonus tracks on it and they are fantastic.

Dredg is a great band live (Have their Live at the Filmore album)

Mars Volta, and Pink floyd

TMV is more prgressive/experimental/phsycodelic rock though.
