A lot of these bands got their roots in Folk, Country and Rock and moved during the end of the 60's into a more psychedelic and progressive direction (some of them like the USA are completely experimental). My favourite ones are The Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, QMS and a special mention for Sopwith Camel and The Beau Brummels who deserve to be better known.

Jefferson Airplane probably came the closet to prog. Very adventerous band.

I do like the Dead and I've got all the albums up to Go To Heaven ... but despite an excellent psych album in Aoxomoxoa and a country-rock masterpiece in American Beauty, I think the band's output was pretty patchy ...
I love this scene, and everyband you've got listed here that I've heard ... Jefferson Airplane (got 4 albums plus a compilation), Love (first three albums), Quicksilver Messenger Service (compilation), Moby Grape (first three albums), It's A Beautiful Day (first album), Electric Prunes (Mass In F Minor) ... all excellent, excellent stuff ... so I couldn't vote ...

Well, it's definately between the Dead and the Airplane. I think that for the too brief time those bands co-existed, the Airplane could have played circles around the Dead. The Doors definately belong on the list, I wouldn't have picked them, but they earned the right to be there.

Kaleidescope - what a thoroughly enjoyable, awesome band they were. Takes a while to get familiar with it, but after a while they endlessly reward the fan.
Note: I think the United States of America is an east coast band? Where were they based?
