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.
