I'd say Kate Bush. She is always experimenting, and her music can be quite complex.

Seriously a close call between Zeppelin, Bowie and Queen for me but, in the end I chose the latter. Their early and oft-overlooked early material is truly progressive music in my opinion - particularly the more whimsical stuff Mercury was penning back then.
Unorthodox arrangements and complex studio trickery abound. I honestly believe songs like My Fairy King, March of the Black Queen, Fairy-Feller's Master Stroke et al were (musically and compositonally) comparable to even some of the stuff Genesis was doing at the time. And let's not forget that deliciously OTT vocal solo in The Prophet's Song. |

^I went for Zep as well. Stuff like the Houses Of The Holy album, and Achilles Last Stand is pretty much prog as far as I'm concerned.
Notable mentions to both Maiden and Sabbath. If Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and Seventh Son aren't prog metal, what is?

Some of Zeppelins later works are progressive in the sense of prog-related. The album Presence is a very good example of this. Achilles Last Stand IMO is their proggiest venture and best song.

I honestly consider quite a few Iron Maiden albums to be full-blown prog metal. It's a shame they don't get much recognition from proggies, because I consider Seventh Son, A Matter of Life and Death, and Somewhere In Time to be progressive metal albums. They get my vote.

Looks like Jon Anderson has a fairly commanding lead.
Personally, I voted for Vangelis. Love 1492 and El Greco.
They sound pretty proggy to me :)

Prog On!

Voted Bowie, because of his ability to shape-shift and navigate through a multitude of different sonic landscapes (and personalities)- and doing so without ever losing his sound. Station to Station, Man who sold the world, Low, Scary Monsters and Heroes are very progressive in nature and shows an artist not afraid of swimming in the deep end of the pool.

Gotta be Anderson from an a fanboy here. Solo album is the best prog album ever made IMO, also the most unique album I've ever heard.
Although a lot of his other stuff isn't really proggy, even his more commercial albums have at least a few fantastic prog tracks, or at least prog elements. Gabriel in a close second. |

Good calls on Vangelis. His, imo generally underrated, Hypothesis and The Dragon are absolutely progressive and great works. I feel he should be in Progressive Electronic.

Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.

Vangelis......because his early works for the RCA label like....Spiral, Heaven and Hell, and Albeado 0.39 contained elements that were often expressed in Progressive rock. Due to the fact that his electronic side was not stylistically based off Berlin school of electronics.......like Tangerine Dream or Klaus Schulze, he took only 50 percent of that or maybe only 25 and the composition sounded more epic like those who write epic prog pieces. Jon Anderson was trying to get Vangelis into the Yes band after Wakeman departed. I felt he would have worked nicely with the band on Relayer or whatever would have surfaced if Relayer had not. Vangelis could have fit nicely into any prog band because of his diversity as a player and composer.

I'll vote for Vangelis. I think he's just as proggy as Mike Oldfield, Tangerine Dream and Klaus Schulze.

For me: Black Sabbath. Their album, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and Sabotage, are Progressive (Hard) Rock albums, while their early albums are clearly Prog-Related.
Although I dislike Metallica, their 80's output is unquestionably very proggy, though I really can't say since I haven't heard other thrash metal bands and maybe the rest of them are as 'proggy' as Metallica.
Also, Iron Maiden, Seventh Son of a Seventh Son for me is a Prog Metal album. Edited by The Quiet One - May 06 2010 at 15:56 |

One vote for Klaatu. Their debut album had one or two proggy songs (Little Neutrino is a prog song actually) and Hope is a prog album.

Kate Bush for me. Her work is complex, layered, beautiful.
And we do need more sexy sensual ladies in prog!

Cracking poll with a very good question. There are some of my favourite bands listed here.
I think I will have to go with Anderson. Olias is pure prog, Toltec is a masterpiece of new age prog concept, and there is not a lot of his solo work you could not describe as at least with prog elements. |
