As always, tough one. I don't see Renaissance on the list; so I voted for Procol Harum. Didn't knew that Deep Purple was considered proto something (oh!, those labels...) Really missed Renaissance up there. And Silver Apples, and...

hmm...
as much as I love the Airplane... I'm not sold of them being prog or even proto prog.... but favorite group by far of all those.
fav proto-prog band.
early Deep Purple... even them... I don't consider them proto either
hahahha.... symphonic (yet to persuade the group though hahahah) though
Jon Lords creative influence and the output in the early
period... quality aside... The Concerto for Group and Orchestra was
symphonic prog album milestone pure and simple... no proto in that.
Deep Purple for me

The Beatles, Deep Purple comes second. Most of these bands I haven't even heard of.

The Beatles, closely followed by The Nice - who were pretty much the ultimate proto-prog band IMO.

The important thing is not to stop questioning.

Deep Purple - love of my youth, idols and icons of rock music with Ritchie in Zeus position.

I voted for Jefferson Airplane but I don't lump Starship/Jefferson Starship since that band started in late 1974 and could hardly be called proto-prog and certainly not prog at all.

If the question was the favorite proto prog album I'd choose
Family: Music in a Doll's House.
The Beatles is my favorite band out of these, but maybe not as proto
prog? Moody Blues gets my vote for Future Passed, Lost Chord and
Threshold.
It's a Beautiful Day's debut is a good and quite important record. Jefferson Airplane's one of my favorite psychedelia bands.
There is five bands I haven't heard yet.

Over land and under ashes
In the sunlight, see - it flashes
Find a fly and eat his eye
But don't believe in me
Don't believe in me
Don't believe in me

The Moody Blues although I'm not sold on them not being under a prog label instead of proto-prog

Voted Deep Purple for being my favorite in terms of getting the most spins on the CD player.
Closely followed by Moody Blues, Procol Harum and Vanilla Fudge.

a toughie between HP Lovecraft and The Collectors (both additions of mine) 
Soon jefferson Airplane will swipe this doubt  |

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword
