    Wow don't know that there are 10 that I actually love. Respect a lot of them but wouldn't call them my faves.

    Pink Floyd

    Jethro Tull

    Voivod (may not fit but sorta tough to classify and they had some serious prog influences)

    Marillion is by far my favorite... well, their first four studio albums with Fish as the vocalist. So,

    Marillion
    Electric Light Orchestra (very prog until they got into disco, but first six albums were great... after that it was hit and miss for me)
    Yes
    Genesis
    The Move
    ELP
    Jethro Tull
    King Crimson
    Moody Blues
    Captian Beefheart
    Pushing 50 and still rockin' like a teen, only now I can afford it and it takes longer to recover.
