Just curious, is the sample of Proto-Kaw here on PA representative? It's not as rawky-awful as Kansas, but it's really more jammy than Symphonic.

I'll add the Enid and Sky, many I know have already been mentioned.

1. Cressida.
Their flawless, mild and pleasant second and last album 'Asylum' sold only 800 ex. when it was released in '71. It makes me sad thinking about it. Please get this forgotten classic.

2. Schicke Führs & Fröhling.
Listen to these germans and out where Anglagard got their sound from.

3. Shylock
Not many people know this instrumental, spacey, symphonic french band. The title track 'Il de fievres' is one of my favorite instrumentals.

If Gnidrolog wasn't placed in art rock, I'd add them too. And then there's all the countless lesser known italianprog bands.

Not quite sure what the criteria should be for "unknown", but some of my favourites among the - shall we say - "lesser-known" bands are:
 
Druid
Flamborough Head
Rain
Fruupp
XII Alfonso
Mind Sky
Trion

Greenslade
Gryphon (no idea why they are filed under "Prog Folk"; they clearly belong into "Symphonic". the use of unusual instruments like krumhorn or bassoon does not make a band "folky")
Hoelderlin (filed under "Prog Folk", but they belong into "Symphonic" too. only their first album has a folky attitude)
Khan
