Definetely not prog, but T.Rex is some really decent glam rock. Mostly three chord three minute pop songs, with some strings. Try Jefferson Airplanes After Bathing at Baxters, a very pyschedelic album. Also try some Steppenwolf, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, The Doors (soom good instrumentals), and the Who.

But seriously, check out these albums "Parklife" "blur" and "think tank"  (Think tank has a moroccan influence to it, which is kind of cool)

you are quite obviously on drugs.  blur are quite appalling - and I'm not comparing them to prog, they are bad in their own right.  that whole britpop thing got out of hand and bands in vogue were left to their own devices to write a pack of sh*t that became albums.

I can't believe no-ones mentioned XTC!!

Any Beatles fan should like them. My other fave non-prog bands - U2 and The Jam.

I appologise from the bottom of my heart..... It was a most horrible mistake
