both masterpieces, I prefer Estranged though, kinda overshadowed by the first one

Iron Maiden - To Tame a Land, Alexander the Great

Kraftwerk - Autobahn (mostly experimental though)

Led Zeppelin-Kashmir

Metallica - Orion

Miles John - Music

Moody Blues - Legend of a Mind

Stories- Earthbound/Freefall

Wishbone Ash- Warrior

Climax Blues Band - "Amerita/Sense of Direction"

Climax Blues Band had a lot of proggy touches in their music during their early years, including the simple fact that they were so eclectic, especially for a band that was essentially a blues/boogie rock band (of course they morphed into a more yacht rock/AOR-type band later--their trajectory actually has some simliarities with Chicago, who were also quite proggy at times during their earlier years).  If everything they'd done had been in the vein of "Amerita/Sense of Direction", though, I would have simply considered them a prog band:

The whole album is a space rock masterpiece, I can't understand why they aren't here.

Anyone find Def Leppard's "Overture" from their debut album a bit proggy?

KAJAGOOGOO - Introduction
Believe it or not, this near-6 minute instrumental piece (B-side of Hang On Now) sounds virtually Prog-Electronic, similar to some of those German 'Innovative Communication' label things from the early-80's. There more to these guys than Limahl and Too Shy........

Hell, Ultravox should be considered prog!
I’m inclined to agree, especially “Quartet”, “Lament” and “U-VOX”, but I think they’ve already been rejected by the mods.

Couldn’t agree more, but it’s the same as with Ultravox.  I think XTC is the #1 most requested band to bring to PA, at least as prog related, that the mods continually reject as if the very idea is blasphemy.


 
Uh oh....now you did it....Dean will be here soon to pontificate on why XTC shouldn't be here.

From the first time I heard it I thought And I Moved bore more than a passing resemblance to Bound for Infinity by Renaissance.

A few months ago an archival release of basically a jazz band called The Platina was released, the material was apparently recorded in 1976. The album include 5 songs that could be classified as jazz but the other 3 has a strong connection with the jazz rock/prog genre.

Check out this fantastic piece Clap Clap

I know of many, but here are two artists not yet mentioned...

First is Blues Traveler, Onslaught.  This one sounds proggy to me. At first I didn't like it, but it has grown on me a lot....



Then there's Andrew Bird who's album "...The Mysterious Production of Eggs" has some proggish songs, like "Banking On A Myth":
