Thanks, but the problem is that once you start, you can go on and on (rather like prog rock itself!)
Caravan are one of my favourites, I have most of their albums, and have seen them several times
One of the best concerts I remember was Caravan supported by Kevin Coyne at The Free Trade Hall in Manchester
In fact i I was, and still am, into (as we used to say) The Canterbury Scene - Caravan, Soft Machine, Hatfield and The North and so on
I like PFM; can't quite remember if they came to Manchester or not, but I have one of their records
A friend liked Rush, but I never took to them; perhaps I'll give them another go
I haven't heard of the other two,
I've found them on YouTube but haven't listened to them yet
You might like Magma - German?
Search YT for 'Magma band' as there are a few similar names
I saw them at a converted old cinema in Manchester
And while we're at it, I like Curved Air, I saw them several times
Once you start following the links and suggestions on YT you rapidly drift in to 'Oh yes, I remember them'
