Elliott Smith is laughable on this poll. The indie morons on here will all vote for him obviously.

Well let's be honest here... King Crimson is just as important as the Doors.
King Crimson basically invented prog rock and are THE definitive prog band. They're the band which constantly progresses from album to album, the band which expands the boundaries of music, and the band which generally summarises prog. It is rare for a band to be able to experiment so much over 40 years to the extent that they alienate half of their fanbase, yet be so consistent throughout their discography.
Anyway, that's just my say in this... vote based on your criteria (and most criteria are subjective), but if we're talking about importance, I wouldn't underestimate KC.

I think he chooses them randomly.
