Yes influenced a lot of the symphonic prog bands, KC influenced a lot of the more avant and heavy prog bands, while Floyd were more influencial to the slicker, more atmospheric prog bands. Pariticularly the neo prog era of the 1980s.

I really don't know many neo-Prog bands, to know how the original Prog band influence spread out to other bands. There is a indie (alt.) band I recently came across that cited Pink Floyd as an influence, & I forgot who ...
how embarrassing
The only two later period Prog bands I know are Saga and Marillion. Another band, that you may not rightfully count as Prog, is Triumph, they're mostly a Hard Rock band, but they have some prog influence in them, though. Both Saga and Triumph are from Canada - an obvious Rush influence there. And Marillion's from England and they had a Genesis influence - I'm only guessing on about that.
