They're great!
Enjoyed their Reading set too (on TV), and the drummer's attempt at crowdsurfing.

Was that with his drum kit?
Nope, but I was impressed he managed to emerge with his baseball cap intact.
The Leverage Models:
By no means totally convinced but there's enough of a hint in it to justify the game plan. Mind you, they've been at it for a while. (My) reference points - Spandau Ballet, Talking Heads, Human League, Prefab Sprout.

Nothing - except my Tinitus.
Marillion - Brave
Recently voted 29th best prog album ever by readers of Prog Magazine (Yes, there's a Prog magazine, I know...) but shoulda been even higher, I reckons.

I've only got 19 of those. Mainly thanks to Yes and Rick.
Might check out Stephen Wilson. I've never heard of him yet he has 3 in that 100.

It's 8 actually! Beyond his 3 solo albums he's 50% of Storm Corrosion, plus the driving force behind Porcupine Tree.
The obvious starting points are 'The Raven That Refused to Sing' and Porcupine Tree's 'Fear of a Blank Planet'. If those don't hook you...your bank balance will be all the better for the savings you'll make! 
I have 33 on the list (and I'm not really a proghead, though clearly I do a bit more than dabble!).
I have 13 on the (rather predictable) list. I'm not a proghead, but I dabble.
(Mainly Van Der G G and King C.)
I have 68

It`s because I have mostly everything by Yes, Rush, Marillion, VDGG, Gentle Giant, ELP, Jethro Tull etc. and this list has not a lot of variety...there are far more notable prog bands out there.
Readers (mass) polls tend to the LCD.
When the magazine writers compile a list, they tend to show off with a few obscurities.
