Davis does seem the most obvious.

How are Genesis winning this poll? It's about influence on other bands and artists - regardless of the prog tag. Most musicians, that aren't prog fans, have no clue about 70s Genesis, and while the stuff they dished out in the 80s was successful (and pretty damn good), I fail to see how influential it really was on subsequent generations of music makers. Kraftwerk and Miles were and still are vastly more influential on not just one scene but dozens, literally. 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.

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.

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

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.

Alright, I see. How about Atomic Rooster then? While still sporting their own sound, I still hear a lot of influence from Emerson in Vincent Crane's playing. (then again that's probably down to the period with The Nice more than ELP now that I think of it)
Also, Triumvirat aren't allowed?

In that case I'll say equal parts KC, Genesis, and Floyd....they all have influenced a large number of bands over the years both past and present. I don't hear as much Yes influence in bands as those three.

Only because I'm quoting presdoug and I knew he'd mention them straight away  (and I'm aware of their ELP influence)

I thought of another one (as a matter of fact I'm listening to their newest right now), Elephant9 from Norway. These guys sound like ELP on some terrifying drug. They're also normally a three piece band with organs, drums and bass. This new one called Atlantis does feature one of my favourite modern guitarist in Reine Fiske though, but the heart of their sound still remains largely unchanged.

I think we must categorize this. A - In Progressive Rock : 1- Genesis 2- KC 3- Yes 4- Rush 5- Pink Floyd 6- ELP B - In Rock genre : Pink Floyd and Rush C - In Metal genre : Metallica and DT D - In General : Kraftwerk and Tangerine Dream and Metallica and Pink Floyd
I think most influential artist of Prog Rock is Genesis. You can see that very clear. If we zoom to quality of Prog bands that influenced by Genesis you can see bands like : Citizen Cain - Simon Says - 5 bridges - The Watch - Agents of Mercy - Flower Kings - Glass Hammer (not all albums of them ) - Transatlantic and more. Some of these bands can be influential for other bands like The Flower Kings. And there are too many "Genesis Clone" bands that I don't want to talk about them. I know ELP and KC and RUSH and Yes and PF and ... are influential in "Prog Rock" but I can't Ignore Genesis affect in this genre of music. Genesis is Icon of many of Symphonic and Neo Prog great bands.

I like both bands a lot but I don't really hear any ELP in their stuff.

Maybe it's just me then. I do hear distinct ELP influences at play in both bands, although they never really sound like them, if you catch my drift.
