It's a tough call. Historically it would have too be Purple.The Rod Evans period really set the pace for the keyboard driven complexity of latter prog. I'm a huge fan of Atomic Rooster's In Hearing Of. Personally that it is the most proggy hard rock album of the early seventies.Followed by the Heep. ------------- Here I'm shadowed by a dragon fig tree's fan ringed by ants and musing over man. |

^^^Rush don't even come into it. Their first album was what...75? Long past the time when the seeds for prog-metal where sown. Even then Rush's early albums where hard rock based with little too do with prog. ------------- Here I'm shadowed by a dragon fig tree's fan ringed by ants and musing over man. |

^^^Yes, but they aren't the first. Check out Deep Purple's and Uriah Heeps early epics.Well before Rush's time. ------------- Here I'm shadowed by a dragon fig tree's fan ringed by ants and musing over man. |

Cetrainly it is much difficult to decide what band invented the Prog Metal, because, if we reason, in the Prog Metal there are elements that send again also to King Crimson, Yes, Genesis, VDGG, Gentle Giant, PFM, Le Orme, UK, Jethro Tull and and to all the Prog produces in the 70's! I took the band that universally the Metallers indicate like the dear from them. The Atomic Rooster became a Metal Prog (for me is a sub genre of the prog), but this is another speech.
For always yours, Mandrakeroot. |

Rooster for me ------------- 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 |

| I voted for Atomic Rooster. I feel they are more of a metal band than Uriah and Purple just aren't prog enough for me to consider. |

High Tide & Blue Cheer are probably the first 2 examples of heavy metal... Deep Purple (I voted for them) are the first example of metal meet prog! (group & orchestra, child in time etc...) Rush clearly defined the prog-metal genre!

DEEP PURPLE!! I like all the bands of the list but "Machine Head" was one of the first vinyls that I heard when I was 13 and really blows my mind away!! Maybe some albums are not so good, but the 70's period is amazing!! Second, Rush Third, Atomic Rooster Peace and love... ------------- ... E N E L B U N K E R... |
