Sweet used the harpsichord on their Level Headed album.  I know they are not prog, but they are the only band I can think of at the moment.

I'm glad you asked this question. Lately, I've been wandering the same thing. Confused

Check out Yes Tormato, hehe.

Seriously, it doesn't come anything to my mind.

Gentle Giant's 'Acquiring The Taste' has quite a bit of harpsichord (you probably know them anyway).

Italian group 'Balleto Di Bronzo''s album 'Ys' also has a harpsichord featured in the introduzione, if I'm right.

Anyway, don't mind me, I may be confusing it with a celeste or clavichord or other thing like that.

Ys is a good choice (hehe, I see where we're going...).  Actually all the tracks on it feature harpsichord prominently if I remember correctly, especially Primo and Secondo Incontro. Thumbs%20Up

I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

You can find quite a few bands who've used harpsichords this way.

Keith Keyes hits the harpsichord hard throughout the fantastic Dr. Z  - Three Parts to My Soul
Over land and under ashes
In the sunlight, see - it flashes
Find a fly and eat his eye
But don't believe in me
Don't believe in me
Don't believe in me

Although it's only on one track, Keith Emerson plays some pretty damn nifty harpsichord on 'Still You Turn Me On' from ELP's 'Brain Salad Surgery'

In Siberian Khatru by Yes from "Close to the Edge" performed by Rick Wakeman. Only just some seconds, but amazing.

Prog to me but not prog here, give Tori Amos - Boys For Pele a try.  Piano whiz Tori shows that she can play a mean harpsichord, too on many of the tracks.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...
