Your favorite prog rock music? ?

All right! I'm jumpin' in! A lot of the older, original groups have been listed already. My fave-o-rite NEW prog-rock group? Porcupine Tree!! Gonna see 'em 2 days in a row next month. For some *obscure* prog-rock, check out Symphonic Slam with Timo Laine and his 6 string polyphonic synthesizer - awesome!

Hey Lindisfarne, I also have the original Lindisfarne album - bought it solely because I LOVED the cover!

One other group I have not seen mentioned is Starcastle, they had several fairly popular albums back in the early 70s.

I didn't see the following yet:

Mike Oldfield - can't have a list w/o him. All of his are worth having.
Robert Wyatt - we have Soft Machine and Matching Mole, but his solo stuff beats both, and the recordings are more "audiophile quality" - Super_agent_86 mentioned his solo works but it deserves emphasis.

Also more current -
Mostly Autumn - for fans of Rennaisance and Illusion - also a little bit of Pink Floyd in there
Bjorn Lynn - heavy Synth work

Robert Wyatt - we have Soft Machine and Matching Mole, but his solo stuff beats both, and the recordings are more "audiophile quality"

I agree!!!!!!!!!!

Where does progressive stop and alternative begin? T Rex, Tommy Bolin, Love & Rockets?

No one mentioned Santana yet...or Roxy music.. or 10cc ....but I'd include them in prog rock IMHO...although may be I am stretching the boundaries. For me Art rock is part of prog rock. I would not count the Cars as prog rock.....but then again....how do you draw the line?
