OK.  Peter Gabriel and Alan Parsons started out as Prog Related on this site.  They both paid their dues and have graduated to become full Prog members of the site.  Which of these prominent Prog Related artists do you think is the Proggiest?   Not your favourite artist, the proggiest artist.
Prog On!

Jon Anderson should be crossover prog just because Olias seems so similar to Mike Oldfield albums.

I'd advance Manzanera, too.  I voted Kate.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Iron Maiden made a lot of great epics that are actually quite progressive. Their qualities aren't recognized that often in this community I think.

If anything more bands should be listed as prog-related.

Cracking poll with a very good question. There are some of my favourite bands listed here.

I think I will have to go with Anderson. Olias is pure prog, Toltec is a masterpiece of new age prog concept, and there is not a lot of his solo work you could not describe as at least with prog elements.

Kate Bush for me. Her work is complex, layered, beautiful. 

And we do need more sexy sensual ladies in prog!

One vote for Klaatu. Their debut album had one or two proggy songs (Little Neutrino is a prog song actually) and Hope is a prog album.

For me: Black Sabbath. Their album, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and Sabotage, are Progressive (Hard) Rock albums, while their early albums are clearly Prog-Related.
 
Although I dislike Metallica, their 80's output is unquestionably very proggy, though I really can't say since I haven't heard other thrash metal bands and maybe the rest of them are as 'proggy' as Metallica.
 
Also, Iron Maiden, Seventh Son of a Seventh Son for me is a Prog Metal album.

I'll vote for Vangelis. I think he's just as proggy as Mike Oldfield, Tangerine Dream and Klaus Schulze.

Vangelis......because his early works for the RCA label like....Spiral, Heaven and Hell, and Albeado 0.39 contained elements that were often expressed in Progressive rock. Due to the fact that his electronic side was not stylistically based off Berlin school of electronics.......like Tangerine Dream or Klaus Schulze, he took only 50 percent of that or maybe only 25 and the composition sounded more epic like those who write epic prog pieces. Jon Anderson was trying to get Vangelis into the Yes band after Wakeman departed. I felt he would have worked nicely with the band on Relayer or whatever would have surfaced if Relayer had not. Vangelis could have fit nicely into any prog band because of his diversity as a player and composer.

Good calls on Vangelis.  His, imo generally underrated, Hypothesis and The Dragon are absolutely progressive and great works.  I feel he should be in Progressive Electronic.

Gotta be Anderson from an a fanboy here. Solo album is the best prog album ever made IMO, also the most unique album I've ever heard.

Although a lot of his other stuff isn't really proggy, even his more commercial albums have at least a few fantastic prog tracks, or at least prog elements.

Gabriel in a close second.

Voted Bowie, because of his ability to shape-shift and navigate through a multitude of different sonic landscapes (and personalities)- and doing so without ever losing his sound. Station to Station, Man who sold the world, Low, Scary Monsters and Heroes are very progressive in nature and shows an artist not afraid of swimming in the deep end of the pool.
