	From this list The Beatles - but I think it is more a matter for a general discussion than a poll with a limited number of choices
	yet you still have time!

	I will always consider The Beatles as british invasion and that's about it, but when it comes to prog, Procol Harum pull the trigger.

	The Beatles were very influential and therefore they may be regarded as founders of proto-prog, but Procol Harum and the Nice were the first bands to develop the music which was to be called 'prog' in the next years (the symphonic branch), so I vote for Procol Harum.

	I'd vote for the Beatles in any poll like this, but The Who comes in close second.
