It was between Gentle Giant for sounding like absolutely no one else and King Crimson for inventing prog and changing their style so many times , but I chose Gentle Giant for purely bias reasons.

Jethro Tull certainly deserve more votes than Yes.

"Madona"

 In Finland we could say "Madonnaama", which would mean the face of a worm.

PINK FLOYD with SYD BARRET would overwhelm KING CRIMSON, but if I compare the complete works so far from these, it's KING CRIMSON.

I cannot think of a progressive band, which can be considered to be the creator of prog music....

Creativity can be pushing the limits of a genre and helping it to evolve.

I can't stand the beatles.

I voted Yes but for me they are in the same stage of creativity as King Crimson.
They are both unique in their own styles (nobody sounds like them).

I guess in that list you also forgot ELP

I love King Crimson.  Red is one of my all time faves.  It is incredibly diverse and creative.  However, a friend is a huge Gentle Giant fan and always raves about them.

Definitely KC, but I would put Pink Floyd as a close second.

Gentle Giant, no doubt.

Gentle and creative in a gigantic way. To make tracks like Pantagruel's Nativity and Knots... Albums like Acquiring The Taste and Octopus...

the beatles, imho, come second as far as pure creativity goes.
as far as american musicians: frank zappa.

madonna, b. spears, et al, are about as creative as a chinese sweat-shop assembly line...

"Tangerine Dreams" sounds better for a band name, but mr. Froese decided to keep it singular so better use that way. Anyway, I voted for them, because of their none-of-them-alike '70's productions... Amazing.

MikeEnRegalia is right about missing bands: VdGG and Caravan... I believe Renaissance should also have been there. Other than those, I would vote for King Crimson (all-time master of prog) and Gong... Strange, nothing else comes to my mind as "original" and "creative"...

keep on proggin'
Listen to Turkish psych/prog; you won't regret:
Baris Manco,Erkin Koray,Cem Karaca,Mogollar,3 Hürel,Selda,Edip Akbayram,Fikret Kizilok,Ersen (and Dadaslar) (but stick with the '70's, and 'early 80's!)
