I guess it depends on the direction we went after the 70's.....

There are so many sub-genres in music today and I think Prog probably has the most. I also grew up with the classic prog bands such as Yes, KC, Genesis, Caravan, etc. I still listen to Close to the Edge, Tales of Topographic Oceans, Relayer, Lamb Lies Down, Larks Tongue in Aspic, Red, etc.

But over the years I've gone towards the Prog metal side. As mentioned above, Porcupine Tree has become one of the leading modern prog bands. A few more of my favorites include Dream Theater, Grails, Opeth, Haken, Riverside, Symphony X, Spock's Beard, Mastodon, Tool, Odd Logic, Anathema, Fates Warning, OSI, Transatlantic, Ihsahn, Green Carnation, Pain of Salvation, Frost and Devin Townsend.

I think it would be safe to say that not all of a bands albums would be considered Prog. For instance, Opeth's later albums are more Prog than their earlier albums. Two bands that are also like that are Kansas and Rush.

Hopefully we didn't hijack the thread too much and to go back to the O.P, I think a lot of Prog has been influential but it doesn't have to be influential to be Prog.
