This looks like a joke poll. Johnny B Goode was not even around during this time. Geena Davis was born in '56, so she was a baby then and did not know Miles. Jazz music is also not progressive rock because it jazzes out and not rocks out(unless if its fusion), and also because a lot of it is filled with improvised jamming.

Gotta give it to Miles. He almost singlehandedly kept the prog flame alive during the 1950's. These may not all be prog... The Modern Jazz Quartet - Fontessa Chico Hamilton Quintet - Chico Hamilton Quintet in Hi Fi Hal McKusick Octet - In a Twentieth-Century Drawing Room The Ahmad Jamal Trio - The Ahmad Jamal Trio Bob Romeo, His Flute and the Jungle Sextet - Music to Play in the Dark Eartha Kitt - Thursday's Child Buddy Collette - Tanganyika Erroll Garner - Concert by the Sea Les Baxter - Tamboo! John Jacob Niles - Sings American Folk Songs Edited by Saperlipopette! - April 01 2022 at 12:01 |

I see one non-Miles 'prog' album on the site from that year
Alain Goraguer - Go-Go-Goraguer I guess he's on here for his 1973 album La Planete Sauvage

I wish this was about favourite prog albums of 1955, then I could have suggested In The Wee Small Hours by Frank Sinatra which is touted as one of the first concept albums.
