Alan Parsons Project is a great example even if they are not 100% prog.

Gentle Giant and VDGG are far from simple.

Gentle Giant!
They're so simple, yet so amazingly great.

I would not call Porcupine Tree 100% progressive...
I think a lot of Krautrock is simple because of the mind-numbing repetition, but maybe I'm not looking at it the right way. I think a lot of modern symph is also relatively simple most of the time because of their deep love of AOR.

 Yeah, VDGG definitely are not a simple band.

Camel i would say fit this, they are complicated at times but more often stick too melody more than complexity
Iron Maiden i would say are simple yet progressive at times even though they are not a prog band per se
early Caravan particularly If I Could Do It... is definitely a simple yet very progressive album

VdGG is very complex and not simple at all. Hawkwind is quite simple

Definitely Supertramp, one of my favourite bands. Latter Radiohead stripped down an awful amount of earlier virtuosity, with mixed results, in my opinion.
I don't understand the references to Marillion, who I think are incredibly complex in their music, certainly in the Hogarth era.
I would also add Rush to the list. Incredible musicians, all of them, but since Moving Pictures, I wouldn't describe their music as overtly complex.
