Clarinet in Prog rock?

I saw Mirakaze's topic and it made me wonder if there were many prog rock songs with a clarinet in a prominent role. I absolutely love the sound of a clarinet. It would also be really interesting to hear a clarinet solo in a rock context. I can't think of a song off the top of my head that has a clarinet in a prominent role (but I am bad with remembering the instruments a song has) and is prog rock, but if anyone knows one, please tell me.

Charlie Cawood and North Sea Radio Orchestra.

I completely forgot that Epitaph existed when I made this post, but it is an obvious example of it. It is also probably my favorite song. Thanks!

I just started listening to their latest album and I like it, but I just realized that this album isn't in the prog archives for some reason? The rest of their discography is.

Brian Eno plays clarinet on the second Fripp and Eno album, but its really an ambient album, not prog rock.

Saga's Jim Gilmour plays a fabulous solo on "No Regrets (Chapter Five)" from the Worlds Apart album.
