Why is it whenever someone mentions an artist that was clearly progressive (yet not the Symph weenie definition of Prog) do certain people feel compelled to snort "thats not Prog" like a whiny 5th grader?
No. 1 is easily Midnight Juggernauts.
After that, I guess No. 2 would be Pink Floyd. I really don't follow the genre enough to pick 5.
Pink Floyd
Ozric Tentacles
Hawkwind
Djam Karet

I blame Wynton, what was the question?
There are only 10 types of people in the World, those who understand binary and those that don't.
First off I'm going to say that any such list has to include Pink Floyd and Hawkwind as the 2 big Kahunas of the 1970s in space rock. You can, if you wish, drag in Sun Ra from the world of jazz, too. And lets not forget Daevid Allen & Gong But It's much more fun to make a list that doesn't include the obvious suspects so. . .
The Spacious Minds
Vespero
The Oresund Space Collective
Anything with Sula Bassana /Dave Schmidt
Hidria Spacefolk

Is Djam Karet a space rock band? I mean, there is a lot of deep space in their catalog, but is it who they are? Or is it just that hey have made enough contributions to justify the epithet?
I'm having a hard time narrowing things down, so quibbling over definitions may help me cut things down to five.

When they are spacey they are very spacey and theres enough material to qualify

Pick any five from the following list.
Pink Floyd
Hawkwind
Gong
Djam Karet
Ozric Tentacles
Causa Sui
Monomyth
If you are new to the genre, check out the first three. They are the ones who stole the fire from Olympus.
If you are familiar with those, check out Monomyth. They have two albums and both are amazing.

What hooked me in was The Summer Sessions, even though they are not available on CD anymore. However, their last studio effort Euporie Tide is pretty sweet.

I agree on all you music and I LOVE your artwork!
Thanks dude!
(If anything in particular catches your fancy PM me with an approximate size and I'll let you know what It'll cost you with the PE discount. . .)
this "Spacerock" category should now be open to Kosmische and "Krautrock"
Ash Ra Tempel fits here methinks

I tend to agree, I tend to think of these bands having similar vibe & mindset.

adding Pulsar and Mythos.
Wouldn't call Floyd space rock at all. Eloy are probably my fave
but... umm... with the exception of the first 3 albums, Eloy were a bit of a Floyd clone up until Colours

I think "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" is about as space-rock as one can get.

... and Echoes... and Astronomy Domine... and on and on and on....
