I reckon that it's most commonly today to consider
Yes
King Crimson
Genesis
Jethro Tull
ELP  and
Pink Floyd
as the Big Six of the classic Progressive Rock.

Now, my question is which of these bands do you find to be the most archetypal of the classic Progressive Rock?

You can vote for all of these bands you want, and each time a band gets a vote, I'll give it 1 point, and by updates I'll tell the total score at given point of time, and as voted by whom.

My votes go to
ELP
Yes
Genesis

So the score to begin with is
ELP - 1
Yes - 1
Genesis - 1
Jethro Tull - 0
King Crimson - 0
Pink Floyd - 0

as voted by David_D

Discussion is of course very welcomed, but especially of "The Big Six".

I think of ELP as the quintessential Prog band (a sound so associated with Prog fro good or bad), followed by Yes and King Crimson in its own way. And of course Prog-Genesis has been incredibly influential and does deserve mention.   I had not associated Pink Floyd with Prog so much when growing up.

Tull - who probably did more diversification in sound than any of the others.
Yes
King Crimson
...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined
to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...
