Currently, my favourite prog song by a group that is not on this forum is:
 
 
Tuxedomoon - Desire
 
 
 
Although I started listening to Tuxedomoon's music only a few days ago, this is a song that I recognised when I first listened to it a few days ago. I'm guessing that it had been played on the radio a long time ago and I somehow remembered it.
 
 
No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

Hey, I remember this thread! I'm not going to delve through innumerable pages to figure out what the hell I posted previously, so for today here's my selections:

Alice Cooper - Halo of Flies, Killer, Black Juju
Nick Drake - Three Hours
David Bowie - Sweet Thing/Candidate/Sweet Thing Reprise
Ten Years After - I Can't Keep From Crying, Sometimes (Recorded Live, 1973)
Allman Brothers - In Memory of Elizabeth Reed

to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...

^ Thanks GuruCan , never heard of before and neither expected such a track by the band

It fits the 'It is never too late' category   


If it wasn’t the singing, we could imagine a song of a Moody Blues's lost album

1968 mellotron-driven song, In My First Mind, from the Steve Miller Band debut album, Children of the Future, recorded in London and produced by Glyn Johns, is actually one of the first progressive rock songs ever.

While The Sweet was famous for its glitter-rock sound, "Set Me Free" is a standout song that also features progressive rock elements. This song, which was included on their 1974 album "Sweet Fanny Adams," is more in line with the progressive rock genre because of its elaborate guitar work, dense song structures, and an experimental approach.
The Sweet used a more nuanced and technically complex approach in "Set Me Free," departing from typical catchy glitter-rock from the first half to the mid-1970s. In contrast to their usual repertoire, the tune features prolonged instrumental parts, dynamic changes in speed and mood, and lyrical themes that explore more complex subjects. 
Indeed, "Set Me Free" could be considered a splendid heavy-progressive rock song that exemplifies The Sweet's adaptability and willingness to venture outside of their glitter-rock repertoire.

Hm. I have a few, but...

Jane's Addiction -- All of side 2 of Ritual de lo Habitual

It's kind of a suite almost, isn't it? It's not all connected themes, but the moods and musicality of that second side are so different from their funk metal stuff.

That's really cool. I can completely see that song being done by any of the great 70s keyboard prog bands.
