I've heard King Crimson but don't have any in my collection currently. Making a mental note to find and listen to some Van der Graaf and some Hatfield.

Liked Genesis till Steve Hackett left the band. Big fan of the Strawbs. Favourite albums are Selling England By the Pound and Hero and Heroine, respectively. Also like Emerson, Lake and Palmer, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, Renaissance. Also like the solo work by Genesis alumni Steve Hackett and Anthony Phillips (Like Gabriel too, but his solo albums aren't quite what I would call prog.)

I also heard a lot of great bands on Montreal radio circa 1974 - Harmonium is particularly good. Lots of other bands from that era I can barely remember now.

Regarding Yes, my favourite albums The Yes Album and Close to the Edge, both of which I play fairly regularly.
