I think the top one for me would be the finale to "Sphynx Lightning" by Tangerine Dream

Let me think.... (In no particular order)

 
In 2112 after Geddy says "And the meek shall inherit the earth)
After the acustic introduction in "A farewell to kings"
ANTHEM
In "Dancing with the moonlit knight"
King crimsons "red" "21 century..." "Larks part 2" "Level 5"
I suppose prog metal has many of those
At Rothery solos in Mispaced chilhood (Is not like headbanging exacly is more like a moment when you raise your fist and use the lighter)
at the finale of "Nine feet underground"

'Fly on a Windshield' from 'The Lamb....' by Genesis
'Running Shoes' and 'Arabs With Knives' from Roger's 'Pro's and Cons'
'Murder' from Gilmour's 'About Face'
'Kashmir' (from start to finsh!), No Quarter and 'When the Levee Breakes'

Just a few that spring to mind.....

these all invoke some form of head-movement.

Fly On A Windshield
21st Century Schizoid Man
Sleepwalkers
Lady Fantasy (final section's opening)
Time Lament (Colosseum, it's the drum thing that gets me)
Down The Dolce Vita, certainly
Dancing With The Moonlit Knight
Gypsy, when everything comes back together after the organ break
Toccata, sometimes, depending on my mood
Soliloquy (from 2112, at the exact moment 'Just think of what my life might be, in a world like I have seen!')
Larks' Tongues In Aspic pt. 1 with the powerchords occasionally gets me. Depends on how I'm listening, though.

All the ones I can think of at the moment. Hardly unexpected, though.

doin' alright by Queen, it seems a harmless little ballad, and sudenly al registers open and everything's ablaze.
 
phenomenal.
 
which suddenly reminds me of Pride and Joy from Coverdale-Page album, pretty much the same actually

I can only hope this thread will lead to a "unexpected more cow bell clanging moments" thread.

Yea, that IS heavy, indeed. It even reminds me of Iron Maiden. But then again, Iron Maiden WAS heavily influenced by Genesis and other prog bands, so it's not really that surprising.

The riff in Lady Fantasy is also quite cool, not to mention 21st Century Schizoid Man which is a total headbanging-song anyway. Also the beginning of Heart of the Sunrise by Yes is quite heavy.

Rush has plenty of these headbanging moments, but Rush is also quite heavy metal in general.
And the sand-castle virtues are all swept away

a nice one is "Burundi Drummer's Nightmare" by the British Amon Düül; by far the best track on "Meetings With Men-Machines"

At the rock club I frequented in the 1980s, whenever it came to that line, there was a huge

"ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR"

Before a mass onset of headbanging (and air drumming )

i think that bands like BEHOLD THE ARCTOPUS and CO-CONSPIRATOR sort of put the whole METAL and PROG thing together.

as far as king crimson goes, they have always incorporated a lot of pentatonic minor riffage into their songs from day one, so there is the blues aspect (that almost looked like "blues aspic", LOL!), HAPPY WITH... has a sort of NIN feel, LEVEL FIVE has some metal in there, the different incarnations of POWER TO BELIEVE have organic WORLD elements (power circle, etc). i like how they make the stew, throw in a head of cabbage, a head of lettuce and a head of julius ceasar! lol! and throw out THE RULE BOOK!
