Tell me about it man, I'm 37 already! No news on KS as far as the Prog archives go, but you could check out any number off other sites (google them, there's loads to choose from).

Ah, you should have been there in '93, then, when Bobby Plant was on stage with them for over an hour, doing a full-on set of Zeppelin songs - much to the bemusement / chagrin of the arun sweater wearing, beardy trad-folk fans....... they weren't happy & actually complained to Fairport afterwards

 As an old rocker, and fan of both Zep and Fairport, I would not have complained -- I would have been thrilled!
 It has come full circle: That's former Fairport vocalist (sadly, dead now ) Sandy Denny singing with Plant on "The Battle of Evermore."

That's right, and as you mentioned it, "the Battle of Evermore" is a prime candidate, no prog fan could deny this track as being Prog-friendly. Zep seem to be a firm fave with progheads, and no one's even mentioned their brilliant if somewhat over played (I wonder why?) "Stairway to Heaven". My favourite album is Zep 3, (their most acoustic/folky album) the best track being "Thats the Way".

Yes Jim, the 'finger in the ear' brigade can be a bit dogmatic about their folk. Or perhaps possessive is a better word. God forbid a group of "hippy types" should hijack THEIR music. What really gets me is the fact that FOLK, by its very definition, is the music of the common people, and not the sole property of a bunch of elitist, middleclass, volvo driving, pipe-smoking, real-ale-swigging computer programmers from Milton Keynes.
I may well go this year, especially If it's going to be the last. Do you know who else is playing?

There's a vast difference in quality and "prog friendliness" between "Come Sail Away" and the egregious "Mr. Roboto", just as there's a world of difference between the art rock of 1977's "Grand Illusion" album and the "anything for some radio play so we won't get kicked off the label" desperation of 1983's "Kilroy Was Here".
So dude, I think you're safe dude. 
I'd also nominate Styx's "Crystal Ball", if Styx wasn't already in the archive.

It has always struck me Walter/Wendy Carlos's full version of "Timesteps" on the original Columbia "Walter Carlos's Clockwork Orange", (as opposed to the official soundtrack recording on Warner Records) suggested Carlos had been listening to Rick Wakeman previously. And so I suggest this for your list.

Danbo is correct. 
My desktop Random House Webster's Concise Dictionary defines "egregious" as "extraordinarily bad; flagrant; glaring."
Stormy used the word perfectly!
 Always glad to help!
