Wait! Doesn't proto mean primitive? Original? The Beatles. End of story. Rock pop with melodies, harmonies, multiple guitars and hooks, catchy songs. Surely that's the proto melodic rock sound and band! There's never been a more influential band in music either.
If you mean AOR, yes Boston ELO or even Kiss could be the proto band. I actually think the AOR term came from NY in the early 70's where they started to play more Fleetwood Mac and Eagles.
