But aside from Kansas, you've also got Dream Theater, Spock's Beard, Glass Hammer, Echolyn, Enchant, Rocket Scientists, and Explosions in the Sky, to name a few.

You made the same point already, eh?  I obviously haven't been following the thread too closely and haven't scrolled back far enough. Embarrassed

I'm thinking we now have too many nominees for a poll if someone wants to launch one. 

Did I miss a mention of Phideaux yet?  Then there's Oregon, The Residents...
The Residents aren't from the U.S.; they're from outer space, man.

From all time...? as a representative in prog history...?
 
Dream Theater and Kansas with no other contenders... now, what each one likes is different...
 
Zappa is in the third spot... I guess...
Change the program inside... Stay in silence is a crime.

There's plenty of it if you like jazz fusion.
To my ears  C.A QUINTET  were more "late 60's psychedelia" fused with 60's pop.
 
 
Ty for the tips, i liked this Probe 10 sound!

agree with Yezda Urfa Boris is amazing. American prog bands weren't that many around in the 70's Kansas were a prog band that appeared in the 70s and were very good but were mostly crossover band.

I like dream theater but i don't love them i find a great prog album has several genres coming into it throughout and dream theater albums tend too pick one style and stick too it the whole way through (especially Train of Thought and Awake) I find a whole DT album hard too listen too if im not in the right mood but if i am i can stick on Systematic Chaos or Metropolis Pt.2 and have a really good time. 


and if we can count the rest of North America lets mention RUSH

I think The Residents can be consider an avant/art rock band, but not so much prog. By the way, i like very much The Residents.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Carlos Santana was born in Tijuana.


Wrong. He was born in Jalisco and moved to Tijuana as a kid.

The original Santana band was a product of San Francisco Tongue

I don't know why Happy The Man didn't come to mind already.  The first two albums released back in the '70's were masterful instrumental stuff, there's an excellent live album, and what appears to be their farewell release was rather good.
