Unfortunately (for me), Genesis is the most influental band. I can't understand why so many singers in different countries are copying Peter Gabriel. Why? - I don't know. Looks like a lack of fantasy.

Opeth

No seriously though, it's between The Beatles, Procol Harem and KC.

As for my actual opinion:

Ive always thought that Pink Floyd would be the most "Important" prog band because of their combination of critical acclaim in the community and actual commercial success, but being that Genesis pretty much single handedly created the entire Neo-Prog genre with their off-shoots the title of "most influential" probably goes to them.

However, it's all a matter of PURE OPINION, so it's hard to have an actual discussion about this because people tend to be fairly assertive towards the bands that they feel are more influential.

Shaun Guerin (k2, Clearlight, etc.) has a very Gabrielesque tone and delivery   ..as for who had more impact, I hear a Genesis influence more often in prog than Yes, though frankly I hear ELP most often

^ I know you're joking Mike, this is if the OP really considers Fish as a Gabriel clone. I listened to the entire Script tons of times, and I just can't find similarities. Fish? Hammill maybe...

Due to a complete lack of means to measure influence or any statistical data whatsoever, this statement really can't be disputed in any sort of a credible way.

And the reason there are more Gabriel clones is because hardly anyone actually likes Anderson's voice, as much as we all tolerate itWink

He always said one of his biggest influences was Otis Redding if that's who you're talking about?
