Hey, you can make any category you choose, it's all music!
Back in my 70's teenage day (I am 53 now), we didn't distinguish between prog and hard rock at all. It was all filed together in the record store, sometimes labelled "Progressive", sometimes "Contemporary" other times "Rock". I grew up loving all of the classic bands, but my gravitational pull was towards the more proggy (as we define it here), but once again it's all music, just enjoy.
My top ten would be something like this:
Yes - CTTE
Genesis - SEBTP
Camel - The Snow Goose
Gong - Angels Egg
Hatfield & The North - The Rotters Club
Soft Machine - Third
Todd Rundgren - AWATS
Gentle Giant - Octopus
Caravan - ITLOGAP
King Crimson - Red
VDGG - Pawn Hearts

as of now we have 74 members of the "Big 10" including such influential artists as Helmut Koellen and Angel
We don't have a definite 10 yet, about 5 bands tying for 10th place... if anyone cares.
Personally, I realised that people weren't taking this thread seriously when I read post #8. Five artists I've never heard of, 3 that I've heard of but never listened to and Budgie!!! Really, Budgie?
The only band in that list that could possibly come anywhere even remotely close to any Big 10 is Nektar!
Yes- Close To The Edge
Kansas- Leftoverture
Genesis- Selling England By The Pound
ELP- Trilogy
Supertramp- Crime Of The Century
Jethro Tull- Thick As A Brick
Queen II
King Crimson- Red
Pink Floyd- The Wall
Rush- Caress Of Steel
I did read it, otherwise I wouldn't have replied now would I?
Big 10, even a personal big 10, should in some way reflect 10 BIG prog bands. Not 10 that most people have never heard of!
Big 10 shouldn't just be a list of your favourite 10 prog bands, which for me is exactly what #8 is.
Why on earth should a personal big 10 have to reflect some designated prog big 10? Univers Zero are easily one of the most important bands in my collection but I'm meant to leave them off my personal list due to not being a big prog band?
