Looks like Jon Anderson has a fairly commanding lead.
 
Personally, I voted for Vangelis.  Love 1492 and El Greco.
They sound pretty proggy to me  :)
Prog On!

Close call between Metallica and Kate.
Went with Metallica for their 84-89 albums

I honestly consider quite a few Iron Maiden albums to be full-blown prog metal. It's a shame they don't get much recognition from proggies, because I consider Seventh Son, A Matter of Life and Death, and Somewhere In Time to be progressive metal albums. They get my vote.

Some of Zeppelins later works are progressive in the sense of prog-related.  The album Presence is a very good example of this.  Achilles Last Stand IMO is their proggiest venture and best song.

^I went for Zep as well. Stuff like the Houses Of The Holy album, and Achilles Last Stand is pretty much prog as far as I'm concerned. 

Notable mentions to both Maiden and Sabbath. If Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and Seventh Son aren't prog metal, what is?
Hello, mirror. So glad to see you, my friend. It's been a while...

Seriously a close call between Zeppelin, Bowie and Queen for me but, in the end I chose the latter. Their early and oft-overlooked early material is truly progressive music in my opinion - particularly the more whimsical stuff Mercury was penning back then.

Unorthodox arrangements and complex studio trickery abound. I honestly believe songs like My Fairy King, March of the Black Queen, Fairy-Feller's Master Stroke et al were (musically and compositonally) comparable to even some of the stuff Genesis was doing at the time. And let's not forget that deliciously OTT vocal solo in The Prophet's Song.

I'd say Kate Bush. She is always experimenting, and her music can be quite complex.
