Fair enough, I'm not really aware of Le Orme but Triumvirat aren't allowed. My point was I can't think of many bands that mixed up classical music and rock in a 3 piece keyboards dominated format like ELP.

I think we're talking all of that. Influence on past, subsequent and modern acts.

How are Genesis winning this poll? It's about influence on other bands and artists - regardless of the prog tag.

The music world doesn't always stop at the prog gates - sometimes we tend to forget that in here amongst the Rush and Genesis fumes. |
^This.... But are we talking about influence back in the day or from the 80's on...?

I could just pick a favorite here, but if I'm honest, I don't even know how I would begin to quantify the influence each of these artists has had, let alone compare them.
But rather than simply offer that curmudgeonly answer and walk away, since it is a good question, I will respectfully say this.

Davis does seem the most obvious.

Rush has said many time Yes was their big influence ---and I think that it begins Yes.
