Good list. A couple of them are on PA, though.

So, I've been thinking about my musical horizons, and I think I am "only" hooked on prog and all it's subgenres, so I need some non-prog recommendations. Maybe some world music, good classic rock,... anything that well, is not on PA :D. I really like The Beatles (ok, are on PA, but not in the atright prog section), Fourplay, The String Cheese Incident, Dire Straits, Toto, Bee Gees, The Kinks ...
