It has been over three years since I last did this poll. The results were hilarious, thoughtful and just plain fun. This takes a little bit of abstract thinking which I encourage all to do. Consider everything: taste, smell, physical qualities, etc. Some of the fruits are really strange, but that does not necessarily mean they're more 'prog'.

*note: Depending on how this goes, I may consolidate the all of the different kinds of berries into their own group.

Also, suggest one that isn't listed if you voted 'other'.

Well I am going with the Kiwi. Any fruit that has a beard is clearly progressive or have certain tendencies to listen to complex music. The fact that it is green - filled with small black formations inside that taste of absolutely nothing raises the question: will there ever be a more progressive fruit than the KIWI?

Banana.  Even though I'm not a fan of the fruit, it's inspired so much music...most of Kevin Ayers' material, miRthkon's song, etc.  It can be used as a pretend phone, it's designed to fit a human hand perfectly, wears a jacket, etc.

Wikipedia says: Botanically, yes, but it is considered a vegetable for culinary purposes; it's not so sweet.

Well the tomato is the main reason for old English tales of punishment in the pillory and the main ingredient in Italians.
Fruits are clearly above these sorts of entanglements.

Bananas might lose some points for this though:

Apples are constantly pushing the boundaries of fruit as we know it.

Apples are a very progressive fruit.
