Who was the artist that came to the light and gave us the most pure progressive sound ever.

Please also list which album or Song shows the most Progressive moment in the bands history.

Dream Theater, kings of progressive rock?! NO!!!
Anyway, I voted for Yes, mainly because of CTTE and Gates of Delirium.

I voted Genesis. Even though I've broadened my horizons since I first discovered Genesis, I  have yet to hear anything as enjoyable as them. Sure, there are many bands with extremely good songs that I rank as just as good, but this far I have only found one album that I rank as good over all as "Trespass", "Nursery Cryme", "Foxtrot", "Selling England By The Pound" and "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway" and that's "Thick As A Brick" with Jethro Tull.

Genesis will probably always be the Great Ones for me.

I'd say Gentle Giant. I'm angry because you didn't include them.

Genesis, mainly because they incorporated theatricals into their stage show as well as being creative musicians, though Yes come close and ELP could stake a claim too. Camel came later and were the best of all but didn't define the genre.

Of course, Yes. When people who dislike prog have to mention a band that sumarize all their hate, they easily say Yes. I think the same works in the reverse order. So, Close to the Edge (album and song) is the best description of what is prog rock in its quintessence.
