Simply put, the idea of prog is to have a whole lot of classically trained musicians get together and make music.  Therefore... classical era has probably influenced prog the most.

Metal. I like a few classic non-prog metal bands, but most of my collection is prog, there's so much diversity in it I don't need anything else for now.

I think the problem is Prog-Rock is more of an Idiology than a genre, where all other genres have a paricular sound, Prog-Rock bands can sound completely different to each other. So the only real genres here are Prog's sub-genres like Fusion, Canterbury and Symphonic Rock. But i suppose you could say there is  a genre of progressive music which, like you say would inclued Prog-Rock,   Avent-Jazz and Contempory-Classical among others under its wing

I agree partially

The matter is: Is there a Progressive Music being Prog-Rock only a subgenre of that?

I guess I'm talking for much of the non-Anglo-Saxon world where in many parts you'll find Progressive Music based on local/regional/national roots where in these cases Rock is simply an influence not necessarily the starting point.

I voted for Classical but all mentioned genres were (are) important for Progressive including Rock itself which was not listed.
