I think "all-time" would mean either Kansas or Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention.

Zappa, I suppose, but the US destroys every other country in prog metal (Sweden comes close):
Fates Warning
Queensryche
Dream Theater
Kamelot
Shadow Gallery
Cynic
Savatage
Crimson Glory
Symphony X

Some good ones listed already. Don't leave out The Dregs. And don't forget Santana.
