I know many guitar players who have been inspired by Fripp's style and also use his tuning. King Crimson has given music a lot of...something.

My favorite band has, for years, been Genesis. But I think that Yes was more revolutionary. Once Yes's unique space-jazz-rock sound came upon the public (this includes  when they were beginning with cover songs in '69) it seems that the doors were open for more progressive-minded bands to be accepted.

King Crimson...different but not revolutionary. Nobody else wanted to follow their example.

The Che Geuvara combo were definitely the most revolutionary band.

I don't think so! There were lot of bands who made music like King Crimson and I think they were the precursors for the math-prog and their insane style of music definitly influenced many prog bands!

oddly enough i'd have Gong up there. Though they never hit major commercial success, you just need to listen to flying teapots to realise that they were way ahead of their time. Also, some of the most popular modern proggers aka Ozric tenticles and porcupine tree seem to have Gong as their prime influnce. great as Yes and Crimson were, no one has sounded like them since so you've gotta question how influencial they were.

Without a doubt The Beatles.

Ha i was right!

just kidding lol.

 

But in terms of prog bands its deffinatly King Crimson.

 

Even thoguh not many bands emulate them or sound like them, they were the first to delve into ture prog and their ideas were used by all prog bands, even if it was indirect.
