I will say this: I think it goes great with this album art by Roger Dean for Rare Earth.

 
as well as many other albums. Smile

"...and a baby's arm holding an apple."
 
I love "White Punks on Dope" and "What Do You Want From Life". But I've never considered them progressive.

to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...

Perhaps approaching crossover prog.
 
They are listed as: pop/rock, glam rock, rock, AOR, art rock and proto punk.
 
Rock, hard rock and new wave in this Wiki article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tubes
 
"What Do You Want From Live" is a cherished item in my collection.
To me, it's close to listening to a Frank Zappa concert.

They were a stange band, dressed provacatively and strange and had a very weird single, Dont touch me there..... I remember all that. But not sure about a Prog genre for them. It was more a type of anarchist techno music, conceptual of course and very strange. But so many bands were doing that back then. Gimmicky rather than prog. Not sure here. Others?
