Maiden and Megadeth.  Althought I'm somewhat curious on how true Megadeth's relation to prog is.  Metallica is probably my favorite proto-prog metal band, but I only care for a few songs, not their albums on the whole.

Mike, the ones I posted.........I believe are Proto Metal bands, in other words have some elements of Prog Metal but still not fully developed almost as Prog Metal in embryonic state. LOL
 
About the rest, each member knows.

I think High Tide may be proto-prog-metal rather than simply proto-metal. Their music is much more sophisticated than, say, early Black Sabbath. As to Led Zep, I would put them straight in Proto-Prog - how do you call "No Quarter", anyway?Wink

High Tide; their first album "Sea Shanties" from 1969 is the first prog metal album.
