Holy cow! Rolling stone actually recognizes "Prog-Rock" as "legitimate Music!" Of course, they had to toss in a couple of bands that aren't really "prog" just to show that they're still "edgy" (Tool & Mars Volta as "Prog-Rock?").
Not sure I agree with the order, but all in all, it's a pretty good line-up, with a fair number of great prog-rock bands left off... I guess that's always to be expected when you're limited to 10.

Dream Theater, Savatage(aka: Trans Siberian Orchestra), and Queensrÿche would all be at or near the top of my list.

I thought
Rolling Stone was a Marxist/Leninist propaganda magazine.
Are you telling me they cover music now...?

Frank Zappa makes these bands look like a bunch of kindergartners. Ian Anderson will say it, too.

Pink Floyd there is no other Prog Rock group. They started the Prog rock.

Rolling Stoner still proves how lame they are, even decades later. How are they still in business?
Hmm . . . no sign of Uriah Heep, Tangerine Dream, or even Quatermass . . .

The Jennifer Aniston cover ... oh, different topic.
Anyway, Dream Theater was a favorite band of the radio DJ who died in the Great White club fire in Rhode Island.
Otherwise, Rush and Yes for me.

Well, the poll is wrong, King Crimson is #1 of the mainstream prog bands.
Of course, there’s always non-mainstream.....

The only group that I am familiar with on this list is the Pink Floyd. My favorite recording by them is
See Emily Play (1967).

What? No Camel?!
No
Ozric Tentacles?!! And what of the quirky prog stylings of Hatfield And The North?

As a lover of ProgRock, I agree with most of this, though a couple of the bands I’ve never heard of.
And as much as I love ELP, I have to agree on Rush as #1.
Spent many a New Year’s Eve at the annual concert - Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto - Rush, backed up by an equally great band that, sadly, most Americans have never heard of - Max Webster.
Good times.

I would like to see them do a Prog Metal list. And for those who like Dream Theater who are looking for something else to listen to, check out Symphony X.
And Edguy rocks too.

Transatlantic , a "super" group with arguably the greatest drummer around, the best guitarist, and on of the best epic song writers/keyboard players. What do you mean you never heard of them?
