I stumbled over this YouTube video the other day. It’s from a site which specialises in creating Top 10 list, and this one was all about the Top 10 Prog Rock bands — as chosen by the magazine, Louder.

I’m sure YouTube suggested this for me because my love of prog means I watch a lot of prog videos and reviews on YouTube.

For those who don’t want to sit through a video to find a Top 10 list, these are the ten acts that they chose (in reverse order)

10. Gentle Giant

9. Emerson, Lake & Palmer

8. Steven Wilson

7. Jethro Tull

6. Marillion

5. Rush

4. King Crimson

3. Pink Floyd

2. Genesis

1. Yes

Now, once we come to prog rock, I’m right in my wheelhouse — which is more than I can say for the person who scripted this…
