List of progressive rock artists

Main article: Progressive rock

The following is a list of artists who have released at least one album in the progressive rock genre. Note that individuals are included only if they recorded or performed progressive rock as a solo artist, regardless of whether they were a member of a progressive rock band at any point. For instance, Robin Trower never again performed in a progressive rock style after his departure from Procol Harum, so he is not listed here. Rick Wakeman is, because he recorded a number of solo albums in a progressive rock vein. Individual band members who have never recorded solo, such as John Myung of Dream Theater, also are not listed.

This is an incomplete list that may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by expanding it with reliably sourced entries.
