The Beatles made it all. They're the most influential goup of artists of the XXth century.

Beatles revolutionalized the music industry. Everywhere from how an ablum is made and produced, to the writing its self. Pop, Rock and Roll, Prog, they hit it all
I can strangle a canary in a tin can and it would be really original, but that wouldn't save it from sounding like utter sh*t.

Voted for The Beatles because... well... duh.  But I honestly think that Pink Floyd has influenced more creative ideas and more Prog bands were probably modeled after Floyd than the Beatles.  However... everyone and his brother has had some dumbass musical thought in his head that somehow was inspired by Revolver or Rubber Soul.  Definately gotta give mad props to The Beatles.

You are right, of course, I can definately here The Beatles influence on the 1st Black Sabbath Album. . Am I right in thinking Jimi Hendrix was also influenced by The Beatles? 

Call that an argument?
That was never an argument.

 I voted for the Beatles but think you'd have to include The Velvet Underground as a huge iinfluence.

Most rock seems to be based on either Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd or the Beatles

I guiess this thread soon will be moved to the Non Prog Polls section.

You forgot ELVIS PRESLEY : "the truck-driver who invented rock" ;

He recorded in the famous MEMPHIS RECORDING SERVICE (SUN RECORDS) "THAT'S ALL RIGHT" (a blues song written and recorded by ARTHUR CRUDUP in 1947) and "BLUE MOON OF KENTUCKY" ( a remake of BILL MONROE 's waltz).

This happened in july the 5th 1954.

that's why I said more influential band and not person

How could anyone pick another band than The Beatles? They are not among my favourites but you've got to admit that they were by far the most influential band ever!
