This one has no keyboards but reminds me of italian band Jumbo (although Phil Mogg is no Alvaro Fella eheheh).

It's Space Child from Phenomenon (1974).

	This is the wonderful Long Gone, from The Wild, The Willing and The Innocent album (1981). Great intro and superb ending... thanks Paul Buckmaster for the orchestral arrangements. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-DOrM6IAG4 Edited by Andrea Cortese - April 10 2013 at 17:12

	UFO? Great band. But hard rock, not prog. Now Lone Star - that's a diifferent matter.
	A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life.

	That's quite clear they are not a prog band. In their first period (1970-1972) they played space rock (this is the opinion of many reviewers and what the band itself intended at the time, no matter how good is that first output - I personally don't like very much). Then they went to change direction into hard territories as they changed guitarist and label. On the other hand we try now to understand how acceptable is a prog-related inclusion. I mean prog-related, so we all know it is not a progressive rock subgenre according to the rules of this site. Did you listen to the tracks I linked in this thread? Many of them are somehow pleasantly suprising... Edited by Andrea Cortese - April 11 2013 at 02:41

	Think I'll draw a conclusion in a few days. I'd like to sum up the position and display in one post all the good points for inclusion in prog-related. Edited by Andrea Cortese - April 11 2013 at 05:44

	Another interesting number is "Alone Again Or" from the Lights Out album (1977) (originally by the US band Love). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGThk_5vI0w
