With the exception of the Edgar Broughton band I've never heard of any of these before. I like the music, but these bands are by no means the best prog rock bands of the 70's. Yes they are underground bands, but you labled this as the top 10 prog bands, not the top 10 underground prog bands.

@6FeetOfDirt And which 10 groups are the best UK 70s heavy progressive bands according to you?

[dharmaseed]

@6FeetOfDirt I have to agree with you. The album credits listed keyboards on almost all of these albums, but I did not hear keys on one of these tracks, nor many odd time signatures . Funny that Hawkwind was nowhere on this list, though they are more Space-rock than heavy prog. Most of the stuff here sounds like Sabbath, and Sabbath definitely would not be considered prog.

Hell yea man, glad to see someone dedicated this to Edgar Broughton. Ill admit, I'm a Youngin, but ya know I can respect music like this. Check out Earthless, 7 For 4, and Blues Creation. Just some random Proggyness I'm into. I'm sure a couple of those bands are from the 70's. Some good stuff.

I saw Stray (famous for their light show) and Edgar Broughton who are still touring with Edgar's son on drums I believe. Not heard of the others. None of the tracks in this list would be my top 10 of the time, but that's all subjective isn't it.

As a fan of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band for the past 36 years, I was thrilled to see Tear Gas featured on this selection. No one can beat Zal Cleminson's guitar work in any way, shape or form! But perhaps you can include Budgie on your next compilation? Many thanks!!

Real nostalgia here. I saw Stray and Edgar Broughton at the Dagenham Roundhouse in the early 70s. Great bands. In those days radio coverage of progressive rock, aside from John Peel's 2-hour long 'Top Gear' radio show on a Sunday afternoon, was virtually zero. Therefore, lots of great bands developed loyal followings through constant gigging, but were never really heard by the masses; eventually passing into obscurity. That's what makes uploads like this so important. Great stuff, thanks.
