I see fathers as those that actually created the genre... So why aren't Uriah Heep classified under prog metal?

These band did NOT invent prog metal!

Prog metal evolved from music by Watchtower, Fates Warning and Queensryche!!

But If I had to pick one that influenced progressive metal bands the most then that would be King Crimson...

King Crimson

But what do they have to do with prog metal?
