I voted for Jefferson Airplane but I don't lump Starship/Jefferson Starship since that band started in late 1974 and could hardly be called proto-prog and certainly not prog at all.

The Beatles, closely followed by The Nice - who were pretty much the ultimate proto-prog band IMO.
The important thing is not to stop questioning.

The Beatles, Deep Purple comes second. Most of these bands I haven't even heard of.

hmm...

as much as I love the Airplane... I'm not sold of them being prog or even proto prog.... but favorite group by far of all those.

fav proto-prog band.

early Deep Purple... even them... I don't consider them proto either hahahha.... symphonic (yet to persuade the group though hahahah) though Jon  Lords creative influence and the output in the early period... quality aside... The Concerto for Group and Orchestra was symphonic prog album milestone pure and simple... no proto in that.

 Deep Purple for me
The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip
