Limelight, Red Barchetta, Tom Sawyer.  I'm pretty sure all of these get played on the radio here regularly.  Most well known Rush songs do.

This thread should have been catchy Prog tunes NOT played on the radio because essentially everyone knows that songs like Roundabout, Misunderstanding and Money are catchy, otherwise they wouldn't be on the radio.

Painted Man by Arena will be my choice.

I second Rhayander

Also, one obscure one would be, Desolation Valley, by Nektar

That main melody gets stuck in my head all the time.

The majestic "Arriving Somewhere But Not Here" by Porcupine Tree.
The sleve says 12:02 minutes, for me are only 3
Progressive music, a kind of life.

I forgot to say that Jethro Tull is often very catchy too, pretty complicated and yet so fun to sing-along, Thick as a Brick for instance and lots of other stuff by them too.

Of course there are numerous pop songs by bands categorized as prog groups, but that's not what were's looking for, is it?
I'd say more or less the whole Signals album by Rush is catchy and proggy at the same time. Rush mixed pop and prog elements often very nicely during the 80's, in my opinion. Marillion has done the same occasionally too and sometimes Genesis as well.

Anything by Porcupine tree it seems these days. Lazarus is a catchy pop song full stop.
There stands Olias to outward to build a ship
Holding within all we hope to retain
The frame will be so built to challenge the universe
Clasped with the skins of the fish of the plain
