Though it might be fun to look at some bands that either influenced prog or had prog elements to their music. Beyond picking one fell free to rank them using any criteria you see fit (Personal preference, Impact on prog or music in general, ....)

| Aside from maybe Deep Purple I wouldn't consider any of these to be proto prog. |

| I'd have gone with Spirit, Jefferson Airplane or The Move (all listed as Proto-Prog on the site) or Bert Jansch or John Renbourn (both listed as Prog Related) or The Grateful Dead or Quicksilver Messenger Service (who both should count as Proto-Prog), but in their absence I went with Bowie. |

I know. This site has this rule that if it's before itchycock it's automatically proto prog and if it was released one day later it's full blown prog.
 As if as soon as that album was released every band changed their sound over night and said "ok, we're full blown prog now."  |

Yea, I thought some of the classifications were strange as well. For example I would have put The Who in prog related but they have them listed as proto-prog. Go Figure?

Queen. Long live Freddie Mercury! His voice is absolutely fantastic. Also a musical genious.

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. ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

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. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

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. ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

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

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. |

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. ------------- Curiosity killed a cat, Schroedinger only half. My poor home recorded stuff at https://yellingxoanon.bandcamp.com |

| 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? |

The fab four ------------- Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement. |

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. |

| 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. |

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