Perhaps this deserves a merge with the
old thread.
I'm usually not one for favourites. I don't like ranking bands I like in mental lists. Different bands have different appeals and then it's like comparing apples and beef jerky. Sometimes you want a juicy apple, sometimes you want beef jerky.
Overall, the prog band I've appreciated the most is Pink Floyd, but it's not the one I listen to the most. Although I don't listen to it much these days, I feel Yes may have put out the overall most enjoyable/beautiful prog album with Close to the Edge. As a Canterbury fan, Hatfield and the North is the most charming prog band, I find. National Health is the most compositionally satisfying to me at the moment and probably my current favourite. Their brilliant debut is surpassed by their even greater second album, Of Queues And Cures from 1978. That album, while generally greatly appreciated by those who know it, is still sadly unknown to most prog-lovers!
