I know I might get some heat for suggesting them though using  the search I was surprised they were not before.  The reason I am suggesting them is because their first album In The Garden, tends to have a bit more krautrock, psychadelic feel to it than their later more commercial works and was produced by legendary Krautrock producer Conny Plank and featured contributions from Holger Czukay and Jaki Liebezeit of Can.

Just when I though nothing can surprise me. I'm tolerant guy by nature, but Eurythmics ? No way.
There's a point where "avant-garde" and "experimental" becomes "terrible" and "pointless,"

Roughly half of the 'artsy' 80s bands were influenced by Kraut but none of them is in any way Prog or related.

Well, at least not until we lift the lid of that can Big smile

In The Garden is an anomaly in the Eurythmics discography and features Clem Burke of Blondie, Holger Czukay and Markus Stockhausen (son of Karlheinz).
 
As Karl says, half the artsy bands in the 80s were Krautrock (and specifically Can) influenced and the first Eurythmics album is no exception, however only one track is stand-out Krautrock influenced, and that was a B-Side.
 
I don't think being influenced by Kraut is enough in the case of the Eurythmics - In The Garden is a great album and far better from my perspective than anything they ever did after, but it's no more Prog related than any of their later albums.
 
 
 
Probably the most "famous" track from the album (featuring a familiar face on French Horn):
 
it also features the best track Stewart and Lenox ever recorded IMO:

One may also argue that Annie Lennox is prog-related because Peter-John Vittese (Jethro Tull, Kazumi Watanabe) is featured on her first solo album. Ouch

I didn't know that.

Actually, I really enjoyed the last big Eurythmics single, I Saved The World (I think that was it's title). Cheesy, but very good cheesy.

One Krautrock-influenced album is not enough considering they were pretty much a pop band after that.

I like the band a lot - Have most singles, but no way can they be placed in PR. It is not that type of music at all.

Eurythmics was my first love, great band. But not remotely prog.

Their best song ever:
Percussion, sir!

Personally I am biased against inclusion as I really cannot stand to listen to a minute of their music. I hate them.

Brilliant band, Dave Stewart is one of my unsung music heroes. However, there isn't a speck of material that would justify inclusion.
Bigger on the inside.
