RUSH, Floyd, Yes, and Kansas took up more hours on my turntable than any of the others.
TULL most on mine 😅
Mine too along with Genesis. Plus, I saw Rush and Kansas live. I would have included Supertramp on the list.
Yes ,rush ,Genesis,Floyd, van der graaf generator, king crimson, brand X, return to forever, supertramp, J/ Tull.
Genesis is not for every one ! Not as accesseble as Floyd or Rush Kansas not a prog band, Krimson Yes Floyd Genesis are the top, Rush also vert good
❤ I GOT TO SEE KANSAS ONCE AND I SAW A RUSH AND YES TWO DIFFERENT SHOWS,
THEY SURE DID PACK A LOT OF ENERGY INTO THEIR SHOWS AND THEY WERE TOP-NOTCH❤
Van Der Graaf Generator
Absolutely. And Pink Floyd is not in this league at all. Muzak if you ask me.
Absolutely, in the place of Kansas
Holy.. you're right.
@@stettan1Pink Floyd would be in the boring prog list 😂
@@stettan1So who is the most famous and groundbreaking prog rock band if it's not Pink Floyd? 🤔
WHoever made this list is on glue. Rush at 7? ha ha...
Which bands should be on this list in your opinion?
Rush is by far my favorite
Number 2 after Floyd,even though Rush are the best.
I totally agree
@@BackingTrackCenterwho is camel
For me, In the Court of the Crimson King is the best album ever made. I absolutely LOVE every single song from Epitaph to the Moonchild and In the Court of the Crimson King is my fav song. This single album puts King Crimson at first place for me, even the title of this album is my wallpaper!
They should be 2 after Genesis, then Pink Floyd
Red does it for me
Discipline is a way better album
It's a wonderful album, but I for one prefer Larks' Tongues in Aspic.
@@БАНДИТСКИЕИСТОРИИ-ы8ж I totally agree

Excellent. When you are 13 years old and know more about another band you can come back and suggest something else.
@@BackingTrackCenter It's humor
@@EdFredHernandez humor makes you think, that's not humor, it's some silly joke
Gentle Giant
Genesis ftw! I love all of these bands ,but Genesis is closest to my heart.
EMERSON, LAKE & PALMER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so glad Camel finally gets the recognition it deserves!
Camel is an amazing band with classic albums like "The Snow Goose" and "Moonmadness." They definitely deserve more recognition in the progressive rock scene. This band was mentioned a lot in the comments of this video. What's your favorite Camel album?
Harbour of Tears. Incredible music!!

Pink Floyd was way ahead of their time, one of the best bands of all time. Good memories listening with my pops, he'd yell, "you can't have any pudding...." at me 😂 Now every Floyd song I hear remindes me of him, till we meet again old man.
Fantastic testimonial, thanks for sharing with us. Welcome!
I love this. I hate top-ten lists, but you can never go wrong with Floyd.
Pink Floyd = depressing dreck for suicidal teenage boys.
Yes= greatest psychedelic progressive band ever.
"ONE of the best bands of all time"?
The BEST one ...
@@RadagastBrown420
"Pink Floyd = depressing dreck for suicidal teenage boys".
Undoubtedly. That is why for several decades now, hundreds of millions of mature, absolutely mentally healthy people around the world have been adoring PF))
Gotta love Tull at #2
Tull probably should have been number one
Tull and Pink Floyd are definitely the top two.
Nah they are a metal band, not prog in the slightest.
🐝 itch please, YES is the best psychedelic/ progressive band ever.
@@Vidar93 Ya ought to listen to more Tull then. Not metal at all.
Gentile Giant!
1. king crimson
2. pink floyd
3. yes
1 - Pink Floyd
2 - King Crimson
3 - Yes
4 - Jethro Tall
Não poderia concordar mais. Essa escolha foi certeira
1. Pink Floyd because they were so unique compared to most prog rock bands and they were less conceited.
2. King Crimson because they were one of first bands that defined prog rock and Robert Fripp is a genius guitarrist
3. Genesis because compositional genius of Peter Gabriel.
4. Yes because Close The Edge is an incredible concept album that transcends the genre.
5. Jethro Tull because their quirky approach.
Being a huge YES fan, I would have put them as number 1 until a couple of weeks ago. I had missed out on King Crimson completely. I’ve only heard the first album. I haven’t been able to move past it because I’m addicted. I’m obsessed with Greg Lake’s vocals. If King Crimson is as good as I am thinking at the moment, they will be my number one, primarily because of Lake’s vocals. This coming from a person who played an abridged version of Close to the Edge in a candlelit church as the prelude music for my wedding. 😊The last verse played before the wedding march was
Coming quickly to terms of all expression laid
As a moment regained and regarded both the same
Emotion revealed as the ocean maid
A clearer future, morning, evening, nights with you…
We had many, many people of all ages tell us that they would have never listened to that music at any other time. They thanked us! YES gained a few fans that evening.
I am grateful that I lived when rock was king, that I experienced the Beatles, Bob Dylan, progressive rock and so many more. I am disappointed in myself for having been foolish to dismiss bands without giving them the courtesy of listening. I regret that I worked too much and listened less. If I had known what was in store after the 70’s that would not be the case. If you haven’t experienced the bands on this list, regardless of your age, you should listen to them. I would recommend that you add Emerson Lake and Palmer to the list. They were showmen/showoffs but it shouldn’t discount the music. Happy listening!
Better Genesis than King
@@tommasomolinari5726. I honestly did not know Genesis has been around so long. I was a focused student and thereafter a workaholic making me miss out on so much life has to offer. (I became disabled because I continued to work rather than take medical leave in my early 40’s. My life is an example of how not to live!)
Renaissance should be in this list.
We will create new lists in the future, your suggestion will be taken into account. Thanks for the comment.
@@lucianoxx9210 I love Renaissance and have seen them 5 or 6 times, but they are kind like a secret joy.
@@Scottlp2 I like this "secret joy" definition. Explain better what you mean. :)
I have several of their CDs. Annie haslam, killer voice.
1. King Crimson. 2. Yes. 3. Todd Rundgrens Utopia. 4. John McLaughlin and Mahavishnu Orchestra. 5. Pink Floyd. 6. ELP. 7. Gentle Giant. 8. Flash. 9. Captain Beyond. 10. Jethro Tull. 11. Genesis
Awesome list! Adding Todd Rundgren’s Utopia and Mahavishnu Orchestra gives it a unique and creative touch. Every band here has a unique sound. I dig the selection!
GENTLE GIANT !!!!!!!!!!!
Over alle these ones!
Finally someone mentioned camel 🎉
I’m just thankful to still enjoy late 60’s and 70’s music. Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Alan Parsons P., Supertramp, and others. To me JETHRO TULL is the best I’ve heard, just my taste. Call it Progressive, folk, blues, hard, acoustic, classical,…all of the above.
I’ve only recently seen videos of Genesis performing “The Musical Box”. It made me love that song even more.
Tull is the Greatest!
Amen, Bro.
I don't see it.
Progressive rock was pretty cool but then got ruined as soon as the metal dorks started copying it cause they stopped focusing on making actual good songs and started worrying more about who can be the most technical nerd
Pretty good list, but to be fair, if you ask 1000 people, you will get 1000 different answers which makes this a list an individual's favorites and not an actual top ten list which doesn't exist, unless you're using record sales as a basis. I dont need a list to tell me what is good. I already know.
It is complicated but it can be partially estimated, of course, it depends on what group of people you ask.
"Rateyourmusic" has a considerable user base, like every community has its biases but the most voted prog rock bands in this site are:
1. Pink Floyd
2. King Crimson
3. Genesis
4. Rush
5. Yes
6. Jethro Tull
...etc
In terms of absolute popularity, the only thing I know is that Pink Floyd was/IS the most popular choice among die-hard prog rock fans and it's a fact that they were the most successful band among all these.
@@luisjeremyramossotil5650Only among "THIS LIST!!!" ✌️
Fair point. The merit of posting the list is to get people like us talking about their favourite bands.... Nostalgia is good 😂
What! No moody blues.
Maybe in a next edition of this list. Are there any other bands that you think should be on the list?
@@BackingTrackCenteryou’ll never ever ever please them so maybe just let them bark and not worry about any of them. They’re not putting out lists🤣
@jonathanbirch2022 Justin Hayward: I'm just a singer un a rock'n'roll band. Don't believe him, each of the first ten albums after the first one, is a whole trip full of sophisticated harmonies, flutes, mellotron, great music. Maybe not nasty enough.
Thats a crime
My thoughts exactly. Days of Future Passed...
Gentle Giant should be in this list
It will definitely be on the next list that we will release soon. Thanks for your comment.
Now you're talking!! Best band ever. Unparalleled
Crimson is the only prog band worth listening to FIGHT ME
👍🏼
Nice to see Focus in there! .. I would have squeezed in Van der Graaf Generator and Gentle Giant .. Atomic Rooster as an honorable mention!
A new list based on the opinions of our subscribers will soon be launched. Van der Graaf Generator and Gentle Giant will take part. I believe you will find it better. Thanks for your comment.

I actually saw Focus play Live yesterday! Pierre van der Linden is absolutely phenomenal!
I actually ended up having a conversation with him for about an hour, we talked about Jazz and drums, also his ludwig kit he owned in the 70s,
His biggest inspiration comes from old Jazzers like Philly Joe Jones, Max Roach and Elvin Jones!

Kansas isn't too prog, but i understand why they're here.
URIAH HEEP British LEGENDS.
@@mrdemocracy7106 they're probably 11 or 12 on my list
Agree
YIKES! King Crimson #1. Period.
I never considered Kansas to be prog.
Listen to their first 3 albums from 1974 and 1975. They're definitely progressive. Ignore the hits off of the next 2 and those are also progressive. After that, not so much.
Magnum Opus, Mysteries and Mayhem,, Journey from Mariabronn, Lamplight Symphony, Song for America, The Spider, , The Pinnacle, Recently the Voyage of 8:18 (relatively new album). The Song the River sang (YT their official video), Apercu, Incumudro-Hymn to the Atman. Byzantium are a few. No band on the planet can cover most of their prog work, Magnum Opus is over 8 minutes of insanity and complex time signatures that I don't think even ELP could master. Carry On, Point of Know Return and Dust in the Wind over shadowed most of their work.
Oh i sure do. Complex lyrical themes, musically they were very adventurous with a lot of syncopation going on and odd time signatures. They were very prog.
They’re definitely a prog band, just listen to Carry On Wayward Son!
@@TechGentlywhat about :
" Incomodrum , hymn to the atman " from " Song for America" , this is very very Progressive Rock !!!(
1. Tull
2. Everyone else
Really Jethro Tull is an incredible band!!!
Genesis was the best one.
Bored to tears
Pink Floyd on TOP. I agree 100%. For me PF is the Best Band of All Times.
But they are not progressive. PF are a genre of their own.
@@nemozack3767 I agree but they are also Prog.
Rush way down at 7? I protest! OK, I realize it’s subjective and it’s your list. Props for including Rush and Yes.
Thanks for your comment. What would be the 10 progressive rock bands that should be part of this list in your opinion? We will reissue it soon, taking into account suggestions from our subscribers, your collaboration will be welcome.
Really Rush shouldn't even be on this list they only put out a couple progressive rock albums in the 70s. Emerson Lake and Palmer where the progressive rock supergroup and they should have been number one instead of behind Rush.

how on earth can you put Jethro tull beneath those Genesis and Yes, and worse, how can you put Gentlle giant not only in a list, but ranking 7? this is outrage, blasphemy!
ELOY by far no1 for me!!!
Outstanding music!!!
ELOY has a great discography, which album is your favorite?
Eloy is amazing! Silent cries, Ocean, Floating and Colours are my favorite albums.
@@BackingTrackCenter I love Dawn and Power and the Passion. Floating, Inside, Ocean all masterpieces!!!!

HELL YEAH JETHRO TULL MENTIONED 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️ WHAT THE HELL IS A BAD SONG 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
👍🏼
The person who created the list must've never heard of VdGG
Van der Graaf Generator is an influential band in progressive rock, known for their experimental approach and deep lyrics. They might not be on the current list, but they could be considered in future editions. Do you have a favorite song of theirs?
@@BackingTrackCenter Thanks for the feedback. Too many songs to list for me but I would suggest listening to the albums Godbluff and Still Life for some suggestions.
First off Jethro Tull should #1, and I wouldn't consider Pink Floyd progressive at all, psychedelic rock to mainstream rock maybe.
Which bands do you believe should be part of this list? Thanks for commenting.
@@BackingTrackCenter I would put a band called Camel, they had some serious musicians within that group, also Carmen which is where Jethro Tulls bassist John Glascock came from.
#1 Rush
#2 Yes
Rush over YES, who inspired Rush? I think not!!
Progressive rock in its infancy and peak years were all British and European bands, although some good golden Era progressive rock came from South America and other Non-European countries but North America tried but the bands were too uh not progressive rock idk they just didn't like get it right.
Yes got me in to Rush
@@treesloth9 And it was Yes that got Rush to begin to turn away from straightforward rock and roll to a more Progressive Rock feel.

5: Genesis
6: ELP

Nah, Genesis always no 1
Rush towers above all other bands - it’s not even close
👍🏼
PFM or VDGG are far more prog than Floyd or Rush. Anyway, no one can be before Yes.
Which bands should be on this list in your opinion?
PFM and VDGG for sure near the top. But there are also quite a few other Italians that could make the list... Banco del Mutuo Soccorso? Osanna? Area? Le Orme? Museo Rosenbach?
This is not a which band is more or less prog.
U can be more prog and not as good as JT for example.
My list:
1) Genesis
2) Yes
3) King Crimson
4) Camel
5) Gentle Giant
6) Pink Floyd
7) Jethro Tull
8) Curved Air
9) Finch
10) Emerson, Lake, Palmer
Thanks for sharing your list! It's great to see Curved Air and Finch included.
@@BackingTrackCenter thank you! I wanted to include Hawkwind but I'm not sure if they are full prog since they have lots of psych and space rock influences. But I suppose the same can be said of Pink Floyd haha
You’re welcome! Hawkwind is indeed a fascinating mix of prog, psych, and space rock, which makes them a bit eclectic. Their experimental approach shares some similarities with Pink Floyd, blending various influences. It’s always interesting to see how these genres intersect!

I wore out my Triumvirat record, but never did I listen to it, and not think of how much they must have listened to ELP.
What about Captain Beyond.
Nice of you to throw a couple of Australian prog groups in there. Rainbow Theater is another good Australian progressive group. There's another Australian group called Airlord but they have an overwhelming amount of keyboards.

RUSH #1
So flashy sometímes, i prefer Pink Floyd, they had the soul in prog rock. I prefer Genesis above Rush too.
Rush don't even belong on this list they only put out one or two progressive rock albums...
@@luisjeremyramossotil5650Pink Floyd or not progressive rock my friend they fit absolutely none of the criteria. They were a psychedelic band or some people like to say art rocks but never progressive rock. And as far as that crap they came out with in the later seventies I don't know what to call that😮
Rush was a rock band. There was nothing especially progressive about them.
@@josephgorgol9045 for the most part I agree however they did release three albums in the 70s that were definitely progressive rock and I'm referring to 2112 farewell to Kings and hemispheres. But that's absolutely it. I don't know where people get the idea that they were a progressive rock band. I would imagine it's from some of these youngsters who are too young to remember what the genre was which was early 1970s groups such as e l p yes Genesis King Crimson nectar Rare Bird camel Renaissance etc etc
Floyd of course number one, Tull, ok but BOC is right up there for me above all the others.
This list is so accurate, but 9 and 10 should have been Gentle Giant and Van Der Graaf Generator imo
Thanks for your comment. Your suggestions will be taken into account in a future reissue of this list.

Any prog list that doesn’t have King Crimson at number one has failed.
👍🏼
Opeth, new generation
King Crimson
The problem with the excellent band Pink Floyd is, are they actually a prog band? I tend to list either Yes or Genesis at the top but lean towards Genesis. I think Genesis may be tops with superior lyrics and story telling over Yes's technical superiority.
Thanks for your comment. But what would be the criteria that would disqualify Pink Floyd as a Progressive Rock band, a genre that almost unanimously recognizes as belonging to them.
In your opinion, which 10 bands should be on this list? We will make a reissue based on our subscribers and you can contribute.
@@BackingTrackCenter I may be able to make a case that Pink Floyd should be categorized differently, however I could be easily swayed either way. Great band no matter what. If you google top Psychedelic bands you will find Pink Floyd at the top every time. Are they Psychedelic or Prog? Growing up in the late 70's, Pink Floyd, Yes, Genesis, Jethro Tull, and the little known band, Audience were in my fav rotation. If I were to rank them for me personally without kicking out Floyd for the Prog or not, then Genesis is way out front as I became a life long addict of their music. Then Audience because i return to that album a lot, even now (House on the Hill) and also Lunch became a fav in a smaller way later. Jethro Tull is third for me because I still play their songs a lot and can play them for a general audience as they are always positive and fun. Then Pink Floyd, though I never listen to them anymore -I hate to say it but i think they serve the teenage to early 20 audience better with their anti-establishment dark tunes. YES would be 4th, though I rarely play them. They are a wow instrumental talented band but they don't give me the escapism I get from sitting through a Genesis song. Sometimes they do a little too much noodling away where I get kinda bored, I need a bit of "story" to the music. Back to Pink Floyd...not prog? Which Prog band is trippy? None that I can think of -except Pink Floyd are trippy. On side two of the Lamb, Genesis tried trippy once -i skip that price every time -it just doesn't fit for me and Pink Floyd does that trippy stuff so much better. I have rambled enough. Open to others opinion on this though.
Great explanation on the subject, we were very pleased with your answer and the reasons behind it. The subject of Pink Floyd really gives a lot to talk about at this point. Welcome to our channel.
Jethro Tull is actually the best metal act 🤓
Jethro Tull is innovative, blending folk, blues, and rock. They influenced progressive rock, notably in "Thick as a Brick" and "Aqualung".
@@BackingTrackCenter guess the joke went over your head…I was poking fun at how they beat Metallica as the best metal act at the Grammys
Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention to that fact. Crazy hahaha...
Who had the most albums? Probably Rush.
Genesis might be up there. Mind you, if you included solo efforts, then Genesis would likely blow all bands out of the water. Steve Hackett alone has 21 solo albums. Never mind band offshoots: Mike and the Mechanics, GTR, Brand X, and then guest spots for Phil with Robert Plant, Tears for Fears, Clapton, Eno.
It's all very personal, but I think the conversation here is about quality, not quantity..?
@marcioaquino5788 Someone asked, "Who had the most albums?"
Here's another question to think about: Who had the most people in their band throughout the band's history? I'd guess either king crimson or yes based on my current knowledge

Completely agree...
Why is that? It's just your taste. For me they all great
@@СерафимТоманов They all great, that's for sure. But I think King Crimson are more interesting, more sophisticated and better musicians than Pink Floyd.
Exactly, where are the Generator and the Giant?
All of these are fantastic bands! As a Mellotron lover, Genesis and King Crimson have a special place in my heart - those two bands knew how to make the ‘tron sing! Porcupine Tree came later, but since this is an “all time” list, I would include them too.
Rush no 1
100% Agreed! I don't understand people who either think Rush was not prog or that Rush was only prog for a few years in the late 70's. Even their 80's albums are prog! Just because someone doesn't like synthesizers they automatically call a band, "Not prog." What do people think Tony Banks and Rick Wakeman were playing?
@@ericvonsteuben7533 And Clockwork Angels is definitely a prog album.
@@ericvonsteuben7533 Exactly, some people just can`t accept bands evolving their sound and, ironically, progressing musically.
Seen Jethro Tull in the mid 70’s and I will say it was incredible
Ok, that's great. Better than Genesis ??? NFW.
Where's Eloy mate!
Eloy is definitely an amazing band that has made significant contributions to progressive rock, especially with albums like "Ocean" and "Silent Cries and Mighty Echoes". They have a unique and atmospheric approach that sets them apart in the progressive rock scene. What's your favorite Eloy song?
@@BackingTrackCenterPoseidon's Creation.
Rush must be the number 1
1 Yes. 2 Genesis. 3 King Crimson
Any list of rock bands that picks a name , is progressive, heavy metals, glam rock , etc and uses Floyd , Rich , Tull , except for the 80s and beyond ,progressive, is progress . From beginning to end , that was Zeppelin.! They lead the way . Period .

1. Pink Floyd because they were so unique compared to most prog rock bands.
Hawkwind.

Hello! I am almost 63 years old and I have been listening to Genesis since 72, that is, 10 years literally speaking. I can assure you that this band changed my life. If you ask me what was the best period, I think that no one surpassed this band from '72 to '82... and what was the best album, it's very difficult to say, I'm leaning towards Foxtrot since in there is the icing on the cake, which is Supper's Ready. The era of the great Peter was amazing and then Phil's monster as a soloist and drummer devastated everything imaginable... that's how my head flew into the stratosphere! I recommend a great private concert from 1982 called Marquee that you probably already know but just in case I recommend it... look for the version that is recorded in very high fidelity, you just have to look for it on RUclips and get the one that is Hi-Fi. Not to mention another monumental concert called Chicago Live 78, it is something truly extraordinary, you also have to get the Hi-Fi version. Greetings from Buenos Aires

¡Qué historia tan increíble! Génesis realmente ha tenido un impacto profundo en la vida de muchas personas a lo largo de los años. Su viaje de los años 70 a los 80 es verdaderamente legendario, con álbumes icónicos como Foxtrot y actuaciones memorables. Veré los conciertos que recomendaste, ¡gracias por la sugerencia! ¡Un abrazo de regreso a Buenos Aires!

King Crimson
The Moody Blues
Yes
Genesis
Gentle Giant
Pink Floyd
rush is the greatest band ever exist.
dosent matter who second
Nichtmal annähernd. Vielleicht Top 100 im prog rock gerade so
So flashy, not even the greatest in prog rock, Floyd and Genesis are better imho.
Rush, Jethro Tull, Yes, Pink Floyd and Genesis 😍
How about we switch out Kansas with Gentle Giant?
We will reissue it soon and take your suggestion into account.
@@BackingTrackCenter thank you. And not to take anything away from Kansas-just feel they would be lower on the prog list.✌🏻
Keep Kansas and get rid of Floyd...
GG were way too unaccessible. True that prog can be that way sometimes but those guys belong in some other category all together.
@@mikelmartyes. It is more than prog rock.I don' t listen programme rock since a long time ago but i listen some GG yet.
