I think of In The Court Of The Crimson King as the prototype for all later archetypical classic prog rock. Including the classic sound of Yes, Genesis and ELP, so for me the answer can only be King Crimson.

In short, King Crimson are much more experimental than EL&P. And they kick-started Prog with their first album. They went through various musical phases, often changing their sound, whereas EL&P always remained the same. KC are definitely more difficult than El&P. But like Pink Floyd they are admired far beyond prog.

However, both choices seem legitimate to me. 

Curiously enough how differently people can think because those characteristics of KC are exactly one of the reasons for why I don't find them to be one of the most archetypal bands of classic Progressive Rock. That is except from "...they kick-started Prog with their first album" because it's no legitimate reason to me anyway, as it's more or less just retrospective. Smile

I'd like to candidate the Soft Machine from 1967 as an archetypical progressive rock band no. 1.
