I'll give it a go.

The Beatles
U2
Led Zeppelin
The Who
REM
The Doors (although much of their early stuff could be considered proto)
Pearl Jam
Soundgarden
Alice in Chains
Styx (kind of borderline prog imo)

Others also but that's all I can think of for now.

I rarely seem to run across anyone who appreciates Andrew Hill but I applaud your choice! A true original and never less than fascinating. Point of Departure is one my favourite albums in any genre. I only managed to see him live twice, to my regret.
Thank you! Andrew Hill and Mal Waldron are my two favorite jazz pianists and they're about as different as one can get them. Point of Departure is a masterpiece and belongs among the greatest jazz albums ever made - still my personal favorite is Compulsion!!!!! 

You managed to see Andrew two times more than I did. I'm certain it must have been unforgettable as I've never heard anything by him that wasn't intriguing or genuine. 

Compulsion is great. Haven't heard any Mal Waldron though, any recommendations?
Oh have I... 

He has some great 60's albums as well but his distinct style or groove shines the most from about 1969 throughout the 70's where he mostly lived and recorded in Europe/Germany (and Japan):

The Call - a one off of sorts. But fantastic. On el-piano accompanied by Jimmy Jackson (Embryo), Fred Braceful (Et Cetera Ex-Magma) and Eberhard Weber. Embryo has recorded their own version on Stieg Aus.

Atleast five of these are among my most treasured jazz-albums - or albums:

Number Nineteen
Up Popped the Devil
First Encounter
The Whirling Dervish
Tokyo Bound
Set Me Free
Black Glory
Free at Last

Wow, surprised to see them listed here. Growing up in the Dallas/Fort Worth area in the 60s-early 70s, they were like hometown favorites to us. Even now, I can still remember back to when I was in 9th Grade and first heard their new single D.O.A. Man, that was something like I had never heard before or could have even imagined. I know it probably seems rather tame by today's standards but for early 1971 in Dallas, Texas it was really something. Sorry, just an old geezer rambling on. Dead

Ah, cool! I always thought there was something really post-prog about BoC. I don't know what it is. But something about them really makes me think about Tangerine Dream, Cluster, Wendy Carlos, Mike Oldfield and the likes. Great band.
