hmm, i would have to agree with Yes being definitive progressive rock.. 
 
But Zappa is the definitive of musical expression, experimentation, and innovation for music in general.

I'd hate agree with such a huge majority, but King Crimson is the definitive progressive rock band, whether you want to admit it or not.

All hail King Crimson!

I don't think there's a definitive prog band, but King Crimson covered alot of ground in their years so they come pretty close.

Welcome to the boards!

to be honest what makes a band progressive is doing everything their own way... i think concept albums are over done by prog bands...which is why king crimson is sweet

Hey I just joined this site and figured it would be a good way to introduce myself to the forums by asking a good question: What is the band that defines prog rock?
 
I am a major yes fan and that is how I would define prog, they use weird time signatures, make 20 minuete, epic, layered songs, and they are all around musically talented. Despite they're lack of concept albums Yes (to me) is a definative prog band.
