    10cc and ELO Are Both Good Bands and they have the same credit in my opinion .  Roxy Music and Queen also have the same credit (  they're both excellent Giants ) in their style  . and that left me with Supertramp ,
  The first  Progressive album  played in 1971 on my Lenco Turntable was  Supertramp ( first album) , and to be specific the first three song was = Maybe I'm a Beggar , Try Again and Words unspoken . So here we go after 38 years , imagine the difference in my life my Dear friends ( quiet different ) and there's no need to Tell more stories about Yesterday and Today .

Queen without doubt, Sheer Heart Attack and A Night at the Opera are masterpieces, most of the other albums are quite nice too (II, A Day at the Races, Jazz, Innuendo...)

This should be no contest. Queen by miles. I like Supertramp, but more artists have said what a huge influence Queen was.

Might have included Audience or Be Bop Deluxe

I think the best bands on that list are Queen and Supertramp, and also the proggier bands. I haven't heard 10cc though.
It seems to me Queen is a bit underrated on this site. I think their albums from Queen II to A day at the races are great and very close to prog.

In the end the love you take is equal to the love you made...

I don't think Talking Heads are prog at all, they're progressive for sure. But not everything that's progressive is prog, however you guys have Black Sabbath on here. by comparison Talking Heads isn't that much of a stretch.

This site really is getting a bit too carried away with adding "prog related" artists.
 
I have to say though, with Mr. Bungle and Primus here, I'm quite surprised that Buckethead hasn't been added yet. I'm not saying he should be.. But he's certainly more prog than freaking Journey. Wacko

1. Supertramp
2. Queen
3. Roxy Music
4. ELO
5. 10CC
 
As Clemo said this was a tough choice. I am going to have to revisit the first 3 Roxy albums to remind myself what I am missing!

1.  Supertramp
2.  Electric Light Orchestra
3.  Queen
4.  10CC
5.  Roxy Music

This was a suprisingly tough choice.  Three of Supertramp's albums would rate among my top 50 or so ever (Crime of the Century, Breakfast in America, and the sadly underappreciated Famous Last Words).  

ELO was the first band where I felt the need to go out and buy all their records (fortunately that was 1977 so there weren't quite as many then) - El Dorado and Out of the Blue are both art rock classics.

I remember seeing Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody video back in 1976 on Wolfman Jack's Midnight Special (uh, pre-MTV or VH1 for those without grey hair); that episode also had a tribute to Frank Zappa.  Must have made quite an impression considering I can still remember that show 33 years later.

The guys in 10CC were all prolific musicians, and I suspect most folks would be surprised how many 70s'one hit wonder' pop tunes one or more of those guys had a hand in.

I have several Roxy Music vinyls from the 70s, but I bought all of them in the 80s having discovered the band only after Avalon released.  I probably would have listed Kate Bush here instead, but overall a pretty strong list.

You would be surprised at how many people here would be in favour of TH's addition to the databaseWink... Unfortunately, there are as many people who tend to react very badly to controversial additions, so this is not addition that is going to happen any time soon, I'm afraid. As regards Roxy Music, there have been several attempts to get them out of Prog-Related and into Crossover, but they have not met with success so farWink.
 
Hmm - a great shame!! Confused 
 
Roxy Music easily my first choice, closely followed by SupertrampSmile

Roxy Music takes this for me. IMO they're the most progressive (don't confuse that with being the most proggy), the most inovative and the most influencial overall, well, at least their influence is on par with Queen, and to be fair, Roxy Music has influenced much better bands than Queen have in my opinion.

Roxy Music had more roots in prog than any of the other bands. Phil Manzanera was in Quiet Sun, Eddie Jobson was in Curved Air, Brian Ferry had auditioned to be the singer for King Crimson and David O'List of The Nice was in the band briefly. I'd say their first 3 albums are more prog than anything by ELO or Supertramp.

Granted the band's real influence is on punk rock, and many of the genres that followed.

Supertramp might have made the best abum (Crime of the century), but Queen is the absolute winner here.
