Oh wow, I didn't even this genre existed. I'll definitely check out some of the artists mentioned in this thread.

Well even though I ain't crazy about Mathcore, it beats Grunge Rock/Post Grunge.

Anyways, Peter Hammil's Nadir's Big Chance was Prog mixed with Proto-Punk.

Hawkwind.

Songs like Brainstorm, You shouldn't do that, Urban Guerilla etc were committe to vinyl before any of the actual punk bands were actvely making music. The Hawks were clearly more anti-establishment than any of those punk bands, who were driven by the record companies desire to create the perception they were anti establishment. Nik Turner actually had the bomb squad round his house tearing up floorboards looking for explosives.

They had elements of prog and elements of punk, and had formed in the 60's. That makes them the first PP band imo...

^There are so many Metal Genres I can't keep up with all of them. But at least Spu would be better than Mathcore. (No Offense, just couldn't get into the Mathcore Bands. Math Rock Bands like Minus the Bear are good though.)

But 30 Seconds to Mars is Progressive Metal in my opinion. *Sigh* If only they were added to this site.
If we have Coheed and Cambria on here then 30 Seconds to Mars and System of a Down should be on here too.
But sadly, it probably won't happen.

This Heat definitely had some punkish influences, just check out ' S.P.Q.R.'

Totally agree!  This Heat, the 2 first ENO solo albums, Quiet Sun (Phil Manzanera and Charles Hayward) 
plus a little ditty called Random Hold (a one shot wonder punk-prog band featuring David Rhodes (future Peter Gabriel guitarist and bassist Bill MacCormick of Matching Mole fame. 

BTW, the Stranglers is a good call! Clap
I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

I forgot about Here & Now. This band had a wide range of influences, psychedelic, ragae, progressive and of course punk. The best example would be a live show called All Over The Show.

Definitely one of the most overlooked bands here in PA.

Almost forgot the Subhumans.  While I wouldn't call them a prog punk band, they took an admirable stab at prog rock on their album "From the Cradle to the Grave" in 1984.  The first side was a string of 9 short-to-medium length songs that segued together, and the second side was a single 17 minute multi-part suite.  Probably my favorite punk album of all time.

Not so sure about Art Bears or This Heat but Etron Fou Leloublan is definitely one of the first bands to mix prog and punk.

Roxy Music is a good shout although I would probably include them under 'art rock'.

Always thought this was very proggy although Squeeze were probably not really 'punk' just happened to come along at the that time
 
The Stranglers were the first proper prog punk band imo

I totally agree!
