Had to vote other.  A New England Indie group called rane is one of the few groups that's been able to pull me out of my prog/classical/blues/jazz rut.

From the list Jimi Hendrix, had he lived longer he would have changed the sound of rock music (just listen to Band of Gypsys).  Not on the list Sly Stone.  His music touched and influenced many who are now legends (Miles Davis just to name one).

Outside of prog definitely The Beatles and Led Zeppelin.Those two bands literally changed my perception of music and what music was all about.

same for me. The Beatles rediefined what could be done with pop music, and it came as a revelation to me when I first heard them in 98, three decades after the fact. Modern pop artists can never hope to attain the level of perfection and integrity (equally as important to me) the Beatles enjoyed. LZ pushed blues much farther than it had ever gone before by mixing it wth folk (not the first to do that, see Tull), and Indian music (George Harrison brought a sitar to the studio, but he didn't truly fuse rock and Indian classical, he kept them separate). Both bands made so much possible and now matter how often they are venerated and honored, their importance cannot be overstated.

There a lot of them, first on my mind when this question comes up are always the Kinks and Creedence clearwater revival. Fleetwood mac, Stone roses, Pulp are some other good bands that come to mind right now.

My sister always used to play  albums from Leonard Cohen when we were young. I got 2 of his albums lately. I don't think you can stray much farther from prog than he does, some of his songs are only accompanied by acoustic guitar and it never gets much more complex than that but what a gift for melody the man has. I wonder if there are others here that like his music.

I forgot to mention the late Stevie Ray Vaughan, especially the two concerts I have seen (Vredenburg and North Sea Jazz Festival) were so compelling, this man put his entire heart, soul and troubled mind into his music and that is what the blues is about Clap

Probably Hendrix and Lou Reed.

Hendrix is a constant amazement to me.  Are You Experienced? was the 2nd CD album I ever got and I still have it 10+ years later.  Lou Reed on the other hand was helpful in my ever expanding taste in music.  When I heard Velvet Underground & Nico I was taken by its innovative and original take on pop/rock music.  It was like nothing before and it still sounded incredible 35 years after its release.  The later VU albums and Lou's solo career were equally awesome and I was lucky enough to see him live 5 years ago.
