Led Zeppelin for me, closely followed by The Beatles. Though I like stuff from them all.

All are great, went with Hendrix. As much as I probably play Sabbath the most, Hendrix is the more euphoric experience...yep, I am experienced.

Sabbath because War Pigs/Sweet Leaf/Supernaut were super daring for its day. Bowie is always interesting, especially when Eno and Fripp were around. Jimi Hendrix really was great, if you don't think so listen to the 2 big songs on Band of Gypsys. I enjoy the first Queen album. The Who
Quadrophenia has its great moments.

I almost didn't put the Beatles in the poll figuring it would have been a landslide. I wonder where their votes would have gone if they weren't here?

I just remind that Vangelis is incredibly "prog-related". I think it's because he has crossed every aspect of prog, from avant to symphonic through electronic.

I don't mind the classification. The Beatles did so many exciting things that are still fresh to this day, they win easily. Which is not to say that some of the others (Hendrix! Purple! Bowie!) weren't good.

All of them. They have a fantastic legacy (except maybe Queen, though their early stuff is amazing).

The Beatles will get enough votes, so I chose Hendrix. Half the stuff played by prog guitarists is directly due to Jimi. To say he wasn't progressive in the 60s is merely showing an ignorance for the era and for the guitar in general.

I suppose The Beatles....though as already pointed out I never thought pf them as proto prog nor many of the others either as prog related.

Deep Purple's Burn was my introduction to music outside of AM radio, so I gave them my vote. I enjoy the rest too much to rank them in any way.
