Well met, John!
 LOVE, love, LOVE the Fletcher Henderson and Claud Debussy titles! And the Mort Garson piece hits a little too close to home: ain't it the truth how cartoon music influences children! (BTW: a brilliant idea for a discussion thread!)

Isn't all rock, all jazz, all classical and all experimental electronica proto-prog?

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

A lot of good music/artists in this list. If multiple votes were allowed, I'd vote for Wes Montgomery, Ravi Shankar, John Cage and Sun Ra.

I got the inspiration for this poll from Mira (Mirakaze)'s recent Top Ten List ("Favorite Prog Albums from 1956"). Gotta love some wit and humor! Such a welcome generator of creative, "outside-the-box" ideas!
Feel free to add your own!
