You're welcome.

As for King Crimson I'd start with "The Court Of The Crimson King". That's probably their most popular and my favorite.

[Cincinnatus]

Supertramp

I'm not listening to much prog these days but I still need to spin some of my classic, symphonic prog stuff at least once a year. My favorites are the biggies from the early/mid 70s: YES, Gentle Giant, Genesis, Van Der Graaf Generator, Rush (70s), Kansas (70s). There's a few "third wave" bands I like too (Spocks Beard, Flower Kings). I'm not quite as fanatical about this stuff as I was 10 years ago but I still need to hear some prog once in a while.

My taste in prog bands just leans towards the more well know ones. I used to listen to prog a lot 25- 30 years ago, and a lot of it i still love. (I even played bass in a Yes cover band briefly about 15 years ago).

My faves are:

King Crimson
Pink Floyd
Yes
ELP
Jethro Tull
Genesis (with Peter Gabriel, not without!)
Mahavishnu Orchestra (more fusion than prog, but they're related)
Zappa (who fits into many categories!)
Rush

[Drifter]

Focus
Caravan
Van Der Graaf Generator
King Crimson
Quatermass
Soft Machine
Egg
Mahavishnu Orchestra
