^^^ Those bands I listed I feel are the most influential in certain prog genres. Not all prog genres. Sheesh! That would take forever to systematically break that down.

They may not be influential with the bands you like, but they are both certainly influential.

Well this question of most influencing bands of each generation for progressive evolution is a very big multi layered question, so I'm gonna keep it brief.
1970's---RUSH, FLOYD, CRIMSON and of course the great GENESIS and YES. These bands are all a huge given when it comes to prog roots. Self explanatory really. ;)
1980's----MARILLION, IQ, QUEENSRCHE and KRAFTWERK. The 80's were the height of the Neo prog genre being fully unleashed. These bands listed except KRAFTWERK paved a huge path for a lot of greats, especially in the prog metal end of things. KRAFTWERK helped out a lot of metal bands to redefine their sound by adding more synth into their overall sound. You could even include RUSH as a big figure in this as well.
The 1990's---DREAM THEATER, OPETH, ARENA and NIGHTWISH. these bands gave way to prog metal at its finest and taking it to a more technical and virtuaso level. Great stuff indeed.
2000's--- I am baffled Here. I feel this yet to be determined. I don't see much in the way of innovation only similar styles of what the 80's and 90's exhibit. Their is no band that i can say defines a new form of music on prog in the last 15 years.
Can you?

60s: King Crimson, Frank Zappa 70s: Pink Floyd, Yes, Genesis, Tangerine Dream 80s: Rush, Marillion, Talk Talk, Watchtower 90s: Dream Theater, Edge of Sanity, Tool, Radiohead 00s: Porcupine Tree, Riverside, ...?
I tried to list the bands with the widest scope of influence instead of simply a "best of" list, hence the inclusion of Watchtower (I don't enjoy them, but I think it's apparent that they had a huge influence on much of the prog metal of the 90s and 00s) and Talk Talk (they aren't classically proggy, but they started the Post Rock genre which influences a lot of modern prog). I included Edge of Sanity instead of Opeth since EOS came first and influenced Opeth pretty strongly.

King Crimson. Pretty much the first truly prog band. Very popular, even now (but certainly not as much). Each incarnation was incredibly creative and inventive. The songs are composed so masterfully. And sited as influences for so many bands.

I am a bit surprised no-one mentioned Amon Düül 2. Their biggest influence is on Hawkwind of course,;as the band itself stated. It is not for nothing that they got Amon Düül 2 bass player Dave Anderson for their second album. And Hawkwind themselves influenced many other bands. |
A lot of people still aren't as familiar with Germany's progressive as they ought to be. Eloy, Can, Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Kraftwerk, Falco, David Hasselhoff,* Nena and Rammstein = German music for a lot of peeps on this side of the pond.

Yes. Undoubtedly, Yes. Nobody can argue.
As a bassist, 2 words.....Chris Squire. It's probably hammered into your mind by now but he changed the sound of bass, it's role, and what you can do with it. Steve Howe. Pivotal. Wakeman....nuff said. Bruford and White were both amazing drummers. Anderson with those pitch perfect vocals. The band VERY CLOSE behind them is Rush.

King Crimson is probably the godfather of the entire movement from an objective standpoint. Genesis and Yes were highly influential, but even they were influenced by the early work that King Crimson had to offer the world.

A bit of a smug and pompous article (from that link). A shame, because the points made therein are important ones. The 1-2-3 claim to historical recognition is indeed already validated, though total acceptance among the wider public (and especially proggies) has still some way to go.
