Hey Scot. Killer list. Happy to see Nektar on there. And I screamed “Yes!” When I saw u had Camel at #14 - couldn’t agree more with you about how underrated they are. Cheers
That's an IQ line (too low). A thought... Tony Banks Genesis influences are SO classically based. In a parallel universe, would he be recognised like some of the names we now revere?
I am praying for your wisdom not to fail tomorrow. Things you hate about Yes? OMG Scot, what kind of quagmire are you getting into? You know how diverse Yes fans are. And you want to ruffle some TALE FEATHERS? Oh Lord have mercy. Shake Ya talefeather.
If you're up early make sure to check out the Heart of the Sunrise. Should be kind of a Ritual. Just be careful that you don't get too Close to the Edge!!!👍☮️👑🐍🙏😎
Great show Scott and thanks for giving Styx the Moody Blues, Hawkwind, and Gong some love and recognition. Great list and I totally agree with your top five.
Absolutely incredible list Scot! As I'm a prog newbie, I have not listened to about 80% or more of the bands you've mentioned. But you can be sure I saved several random albums by several bands to listen to!! If only more people my age group (young adults) had the patience to listen to this stuff and try new things out! So much outstanding music I would never have imagined myself listening to. (About 5 years ago I mainly only listened to classical music!) Keep up the good work!
Great list given with your customary infectious gusto ! Glad you name checked Mr Mellotron Mike Pinder and his contribution. "Simple Game" is one of my all time favourite songs.
What an impeccable list Scot!!! In my opinion, the top 8 are (in alphabetical order): Camel, ELP, Focus, Genesis, Gentle Giant, King Crimson, Pink Floyd, Yes. Greetings from Northern Sweden!!!
My top 10: 1. Happy the Man 2. Yes 3. Genesis 4. ELP 5. Gentle Giant 6. VdGG 7. Camel 8. PFM 9. Banco 10. Kansas 6 British bands, 2 Italian bands, and 2 American bands, all from the classic 70s era, and all capital P prog
Love you giving Supertramp love at #17…prog/pop/rock at its finest. Camel at #14 and Kansas at #9 is great too! Glad u woke up for Grace Under Pressure! 🤘🏻
Good morning Scot! Was happy to see that your top 5 were correct, especially 1 and 2 in the right order! Lol! Great numbers for the views and comments. Nicely done! Looking forward to today's vid. I'm sure we will agree on many of things that YES has screwed up over the years! FOREVER YES❣️❣️❣️ Support Scot at The Prog Corner❗️❗️❗️👍☮️👑🐍🙏😎
Just finished a Gentle Giant concert Marathon last night on YT😮 Effing wizards of intricacy! 1. VdGG 2 Tull. 3. Gentle Giant. Then ELP, Yes ect. for me but Scot, no Happy The Man but the Ayn Rand Band at 8😢 What struck me first was you referencing Jon Anderson with Le Orme🙃 Aldo has such a different voice. That really had me wondering how messed up the rest of the list would be😂 Stay cool and keep up that infectious energy!🎷🎹🎸✌️
Heard everyone of these bands but Kaipa is the one for me. It seems to have everything great music should have. Great keyboard soundscapes, interesting bass lines, skilful drumming, fantastic harmony and individual singing and a guitarist who plays the most beautiful soaring sounding notes.
Nice to have The Moody Blues on here. I don't know that I consider them true prog, always thought of them as just doing their own thing. Sometimes we get too caught up in categorizing music styles.
Scot, you know what I’m going to say: KANSAS!!! 😉 Hey, don’t forget from earlier this year, you’ve got to review the 2 greatest (in my opinion) Prog-Concept albums of all time: “Doomsday Afternoon” and “Number 7” both by Phideaux! Great list today my friend 😊
Couldn’t be a better list, Scot. My #1 and 2 are Pink Floyd and Rush, but it just as easily could be Yes and Genesis. And I couldn’t be happier with where you have Porcupine Tree. That band deserves major props and will always be my favorite of all the modern day groups. I just can’t say enough about those guys 😎.
Hi Scot .., Great list, there are so many great Progbands, but my respect to you for the band " Henry Cow' ! nobody ever talks about them, they are more in avangarde and the Canterbury scene,but very proggy I always liked the Bassoon playing from Lindsay Cooper even Robert Wyatt did some live preformance on the album Concerts, playing some hand drums and singing .., and always nice to hear from "Gong' and "Hawkwind" Thank you !!
Brilliant progressive rock countdown and I’m so happy Scott that you listed Renaissance at 12 and Jethro Tull at six also your top five was spot on, but I was disappointed that Haken, which is a recent band that I’ve learned to love did not make that top 50 OK there’s always room for improvement. Laugh out loud, great work, man, man!
Hai Scot. Great list. Being Dutch glad you mentioned Focus. Have you ever heard other Dutch prog such as Trace, Solution, Alquin, Supersister , Kayak, (early) Earth & Fire or Ekseption. If not check them out. You might like them. Greetings etc😂
Excellent list! Man...I am so glad you put Gentle Giant so high...They deserve it! What an incredible band. If it was my top 50 favorite band Gentle Giant would be in my top 5 but number 7 is fantastic.
Very good list! I was especially happy to see the inclusion of Mike Oldfield, PFM, Mahavishnu and Focus, four of my top faves (along with Yes, of course). And I LOVED your video on the things that you hate about Yes - it was spot on!! I loved them all the way up to (and even including) Tormato but the divisiveness and personnel changes and such definitely turned me off after that.
Overall great list! Good on you for including Procol Harum and the Moody Blues. I'd probably let Deep Purple and Uriah Heep into my list too. And you got the top three Canterbury bands so we're good there. There are a few in there that don't anything for me, but we all have different tastes as you said when you talked about Magma. My insertions if it were my list would probably include... Ambrosia (first three) Chicago (first few) Nemo Ozric Tentacles Pendragon Triumvirat Prog on!
@@TheProgCornerI was checking out the latest record from The Tangent after listening to your list. Looking forward to checking out their entire catalogue.
#46 Le Orme "imagine Emerson, Lake & Palmer with Jon Anderson singing Italian" - ok, I will give them a try 🙂 #5: "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn" is a prog album, imo. I guess it depends on the definition, but we also have to take into consideration when it was made. #2: I'm absolutely with you that the commercial stuff from the 80s can't destroy what there was before.
Nice seeing tangerine dream and tool, such amazing progressive bands, also tool somehow are often not considered prog. I think also godspeed could have made the list, i consider them prog
Great list -- love seeing Kansas in the top 10. I would have found a way to get Magenta on the list. They're in with Kansas among my 10 favorite bands of all time, spanning all genres.
Before I even watch the video Scot here's mine : 1. Genesis 2. YES 3. Van Der Graaf Generator 4. Jethro Tull 5. Pink Floyd 6. Marillion (Fish-era) 7. King Crimson 8. Gentle Giant 9. Camel 10. Mike Oldfield 11. Dream Theater 12. PFM 13. Muse 14. The Mars Volta 15. EGG 16. Steven Wilson 17. Kings X 18. Supertramp 19. Kate Bush 20. Kaipa 21. Ring Van Möbius 22. Soft Machine 23. SIGH 24. Frank Zappa 25. It Bites 26. Wobbler 27. Transatlantic 28. Caravan 29. Pattern seeking animals 30. Kansas 31. The Flower Kings 32. The Moody Blues 33. UK 34. Midlake 35. Liquid Tension Experiment 36.

@@TheProgCorner Wow , yeah loved the rundown Scot 👍 looking forward to your YES flaws😅...I just can't believe I forgot to put RUSH and Procol Harum on my list !!! Easy top 20's for me. 😍🎵🎵🤘
@@TheProgCorner Know what you mean. At university in the mid 1980s, I liked Xanadu - bought A Farewell To Kings - and The Spirit Of Radio. But didn't really get Rush otherwise. Fast forward to about 2009 and I bought the 2 CD compilation album "Gold" for a bargain price. Then it all clicked. Now own most of the studio albums and a few live ones. An easy top ten band for me now - only took about 25 years!!!
i think a list of obscure prog bands would be really cool especially as one of my new favorite bands is a obscure band called Nine Days Wonder which was a german band (with a german singer) who had multiple spoken word sections sung in English with a british accent on their self titled debut not to mention other small bands like out of focus or gracious!
Cool list, most of my favs were quite low, can, gong, soft machine.. would add Embryo, Steve Hillage, ozric tentacles, Hatfield and the north. Nice to see Camel and Gentle giant rank high, they're great.
Interesting ranking, I'd have Eloy in my top 10. Over on this side of the pond, we never rated Kansas as a prog band down through the years, we always considered them a AOR type of band, but having listened to them and got into them they are prog in my opinion.
Great list. I am impressed that Renaissance made it so high. I would have placed them even higher. One question for Scot- why are Strawbs not on the list?
@TheProgCorne True! I first discovered Neal's work, then Spock's Beard and then Transatlantic. I also liked his new work in partnership with Portnoy (again).
Last week I found GG octopus and the power and the glory LPs at the dump, in pretty good shape. I also took a Jason and the scorchers lost and found LP. I'm casual with prog but I had been meaning to try GG again anyway
Hey Scott...excellent list but what about Focus?!!!!!!!! Surely they deserve to be at least in the top 20 with masterpiece albums such as Moving Waves, Focus 3 and Hamburger Concerto...No?
Have you ever featured Crack the Sky? Their debut 1975 album is on Rolling Stone magazine's Top 50 prog albums of all time. All the albums including the ones done this century are strong. The first two are definitive prog and the third, Safety in Numbers is phenomenal as well. If there is ever a Progressive Rock Hall of Fame John Palumbo and Rick Witkowski have to be in there. Classic tracks include Nuclear Apathy; Surf City/Hold On; Ice; Safety in Numbers and so many more.
Nice piking indeed.loved to see Henry cow &gong on your list and thats A bit unusual for an American prog fan.if pink Floyd & hawkwind are prog(and I agree) so is All of the krautrock movement,just a subjener of psychedelic prog.
Scot..."Nobody wanted to hear a English version of PFM"...except me I guess. I love their English version albums...why maybe because that's the language I understand besides I love Bernardo Lanzetti's voice on Jet Lag and Chocolate Kings and the 2 earlier albums Photos Of Ghosts and The World Became The World. Also Bernardo Lanzetti in Acqua Fragile 2 great prog albums "Mass Media Stars" and their frist self titled album with the unique quad fold album cover very cool.
Love that you say Yes is your fav band but there are 10 thing’s about them you hate/don’t like. I’m the exact same with Rush. Some folks say you can’t dislike anything by your fav band…that’s bs imo. 🤘🏻👍🏻
I would like to suggest a 70's band from Greece "SOCRATES DRANK THE CONIUM" or just "Socrates" and another one from 1997 up to 2007 ..."Will-O-The-Wisp". I think you are gonna love them, Socrates are a Bluesy Hard Prog Psych band influenced also from Jimi Henrdrix and Cream, and Vangelis also played on their possibly most famous album called "Phos" (1976) and they wrote and produced 7 incredible albums from 1971-1983...They played in Europe and Will O The Wisp 4 great space psychedelic prog, their music is influenced by Camel, Gandalf, Soft Machine, Caravan, Floyd, Tull and J.R.R. Tolkien...
I prefer Gentle Giant to Yes but I do agree Yes should occupy the No.1 slot BUT...what about Egg? I know they only released 1 single and 3 albums but the quality of all of those discs is sublime. I suspect this sort of statement is echoed by umpteen dozen other commenters who assail you with 'but what about (name of band)' type questions. I'm also glad you included The Tangent. This is proof that progressive rock is alive and healthy.
Great list, as expected. My top 10 is pretty predictable but I will admit that my knowledge of the more obscure bands and the Canterbury scene is much more limited than yours. Genesis Yes Gentle Giant VDGG Pink Floyd Jethro Tull King Crimson Rush Hawkwind Camel
Apropos Renaissance being the only band with a lead female vocalist on the list: Henry Cow had the amazing Dagmar Krause on In Praise of Learning and Western Culture. RIO forever!
Only heard of 15 of 50 and only listened to 2/3rds of them. Mike Oldfield? Thought he was the foundation of 'new age'. Don't get me wrong, i have most if his stuff, including 'collaboration'
I have 2 feathers in my cap having played with bands #14 and #12 :)
Camel and Renaissance!!!! That’s right!!!! I mean seriously, how cool is that? Can’t wait to hear some new music from you!!!
Hey Scot. Killer list. Happy to see Nektar on there. And I screamed “Yes!” When I saw u had Camel at #14 - couldn’t agree more with you about how underrated they are. Cheers

Your both not quite right GG is without a doubt the greatest most epic legendary unique innovative genius band ever.
@@1359401 I agree 😄
Well, that's where you're wrong. I used to like Gentle Giant and I've "gone back". Fisticuffs WILL break out- it's Clickbait Week!
They are an all-time top 5.
The closing minute of your videos never ceases to make me laugh, no matter how many times I see them. This particular one was one of the best.
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!😊
Great stuff! Van Der Graaf was so close to the top 10!! Well done, sir.
They are top 5!!! The problem is - there are 10 bands.

Hey Scott...excellent list but what about Focus?!!!!!!!! Surely they deserve to be at least in the top 20 with masterpiece albums such as Moving Waves, Focus 3 and Hamburger Concerto...No?
Focus made the list.
@@TheProgCorner Doh! Apologies Scott..I need to pay more attention.
Have you ever featured Crack the Sky? Their debut 1975 album is on Rolling Stone magazine's Top 50 prog albums of all time. All the albums including the ones done this century are strong. The first two are definitive prog and the third, Safety in Numbers is phenomenal as well. If there is ever a Progressive Rock Hall of Fame John Palumbo and Rick Witkowski have to be in there. Classic tracks include Nuclear Apathy; Surf City/Hold On; Ice; Safety in Numbers and so many more.
Big fan of their debut album.
Can’t wait for Nektar week!
I know, right??!!!!
I am a Australian and in the early 1970's we had a band called Spectrum who were prog.They were brilliant . Scott I think you would really like them
I have not heard them!!!
Sebastian Hardie and Windchase probably are better known
Mike Pinder mentioned!! RIP we will remeber you.
Yes, we will!!!
@@TheProgCorner He made me discover the mellotron. I then wondered what other bands used it. Then I was stuck in the wonderful world of prog.
In my top 50, I would also include : Strawbs, Ekseption, Harmonium and maybe Starcastle !
Strawbs ALMOST made it…
Ahhhh....my beloved Supertramp....😊
Hope you are well my American friend 😊
They HAD to be there!!!!
Now rate all the prog channels!!!!

Nice piking indeed.loved
to see Henry cow &gong on your list and thats
A bit unusual for an American prog fan.if pink Floyd & hawkwind are prog(and I agree) so is
All of the krautrock movement,just a subjener of psychedelic prog.
Thank you!!! I try to be an internationalist!!!!
Scot..."Nobody wanted to hear a English version of PFM"...except me I guess. I love their English version albums...why maybe because that's the language I understand besides I love Bernardo Lanzetti's voice on Jet Lag and Chocolate Kings and the 2 earlier albums Photos Of Ghosts and The World Became The World. Also Bernardo Lanzetti in Acqua Fragile 2 great prog albums "Mass Media Stars" and their frist self titled album with the unique quad fold album cover very cool.
I love Lanzetti. PFM rules.
Bo Hansson and Caravan might have poked into my top 50 but then again I prefer Goblin to PFM as well so I get that it's personal.
I had Caravan!!!! And Bo came VERY close!!!!
So cool you included Styx at 27. My favorite band all time. Your knowledge is 15 times greater.
Thank you!!! I’m a fan boy. Tommy Shaw and DDY do need to kiss and make up though…
@@TheProgCorner I agree and before its too late.
Love that you say Yes is your fav band but there are 10 thing’s about them you hate/don’t like. I’m the exact same with Rush. Some folks say you can’t dislike anything by your fav band…that’s bs imo. 🤘🏻👍🏻
As hardcore fans we have the RIGHT to speak up !!!!!
Early U S Prog band that is never mentioned is Sugarloaf. Listening to Spaceship earth as I send this.
I love them!!!!
It's all personal opinion of course, but Pendragon's 45 years of excellence has them very much in the top 50 for me.
A good call!!!!
I cannot disagree with your top 10!
It’s cut in stone.
Masonic calligraphy!
Yes is my favorite too. But, yes they have major issues. I met the lineup at the Spectrum. Nice people.
Steve has always been nice to me!!!
Awesome list i am a fan of pink floyd also genesis to be honest Scot ❤😊
Nice!!! I love those two bands so much!!!
I would like to suggest a 70's band from Greece "SOCRATES DRANK THE CONIUM" or just "Socrates" and another one from 1997 up to 2007 ..."Will-O-The-Wisp". I think you are gonna love them, Socrates are a Bluesy Hard Prog Psych band influenced also from Jimi Henrdrix and Cream, and Vangelis also played on their possibly most famous album called "Phos" (1976) and they wrote and produced 7 incredible albums from 1971-1983...They played in Europe and Will O The Wisp 4 great space psychedelic prog, their music is influenced by Camel, Gandalf, Soft Machine, Caravan, Floyd, Tull and J.R.R. Tolkien...
Sounds awesome!
I prefer Gentle Giant to Yes but I do agree Yes should occupy the No.1 slot BUT...what about Egg? I know they only released 1 single and 3 albums but the quality of all of those discs is sublime. I suspect this sort of statement is echoed by umpteen dozen other commenters who assail you with 'but what about (name of band)' type questions. I'm also glad you included The Tangent. This is proof that progressive rock is alive and healthy.
Yes Egg, great band :-)
Egg almost made it…
Procol Harum is so underrated! Though not exactly prog so I'll accept it ;)
Proto Prog. So definitely not full blown Prog…
Good ranking. Genesis is always #1 for me. I would have listed Alan Parsons higher and Wigwam would have fit on the list.
I love Wigwam!!!!
KANSAS!!! I love the respect you give them Scott. They often get disrespected for some reason.
Unfairly so!!!
😎
Hi Jeff. Any news on your op?
@@andrewlongshaw2128Not yet.👍😎
Great list, as expected. My top 10 is pretty predictable but I will admit that my knowledge of the more obscure bands and the Canterbury scene is much more limited than yours.
Genesis
Yes
Gentle Giant
VDGG
Pink Floyd
Jethro Tull
King Crimson
Rush
Hawkwind
Camel
Amazing list!!!!!!
@@TheProgCorner I’m glad you included Hawkwind…they sound somewhere between Krautrock and Prog to me. The kings of Space Rock!
at one time i would have said definately Genesis 1, Then i heard 'Gates Of Delirium' oh boy YES!
Yes!!!! (But it’s close.)
I am not so into prog but arent gong, caravan, nektar and soft machine a bit low on the list?
Perhaps!
Nektar. Sherman Hemsley was a fan. Was a fan of Gong too. ;)
Yes, he was!!!!
Apropos Renaissance being the only band with a lead female vocalist on the list: Henry Cow had the amazing Dagmar Krause on In Praise of Learning and Western Culture.
RIO forever!
Dagmar!!!!! And Cooper was in the band too so…
henry cow also had a female vocalist! dagmar krause
Oboe and vocals!!! Female power!!!! Lindsay and Dagmar!!!!!
Gryphon and Strawbs deserve placement near the top. Cool to see Henry Cow on the list. I basically concur otherwise.
I forgot Gryphon but I don’t think they would make Top 50. Strawbs, on the other hand, came VERY close.
Steve Hillage as solo artist would be in my top ten
He’s incredible.
Only heard of 15 of 50 and only listened to 2/3rds of them. Mike Oldfield? Thought he was the foundation of 'new age'. Don't get me wrong, i have most if his stuff, including 'collaboration'
I get it - he’s a lot of things!!!!
