Peter Hammill is a clear first
 
These are the next four in no particular order;
 
Greg Lake
Christian Decamps (Ange)
David Byron (Uriah Heep)
Sonja Kristina (Curved Air)
 
Sandy Denny (Fairport) and Celia Humphris (Trees) would be in this list except i don't consider most of those British folk rock acts to be progressive.  Quite the opposit in fact.  Good though.
