Unsurprisingly, putting this list together was more challenging because it required us to go all the way back to the late 1960s to begin our assessment. Plus, a lot of heavy bands could be – or already are – categorized as progressive metal (such as Porcupine Tree, Haken, Tool and The Mars Volta).

As such, they were automatically disqualified, and to make thing easier, we limited ourselves to choosing only bands that existed before progressive metal was even an potential classifier.

With that that mind, the following five acts definitely showcased how heavy prog rock could be at its earliest stages.
