I think Octopus is referring to the ideological themes, not the music style.

Octopus said: Without Dylan RPI wouldn't exist, and it's not a coincidence if some of his songs have prog covers. "
 
 
Could you explain how RPI 'would not exist.'...?

I've seen only a few on this site.

I have a few albums but IMO Desire is his best. It's a very special album with a very unique sound and of course Dylan's singing is beautiful.

Without Dylan RPI wouldn't exist, and it's not a coincidence if some of his songs have prog covers. The only thing I don't like of Dylan is the way he is used to reinterpret his songs on lives.

I like them, but don't love them. Say what you want, Annie Lennox sure can sing.

Clem, thank you!! I recently finally bought a new car, and I had three or four CD's I always kept in the glovebox that I took out of the old one to put into the new one, and this was one I was forgetting! It was the double of the Gram Parsons solo albums! Wonderful, so thanks for the reminder! How I love `We'll Sweep Out The Ashes...'

The others were Norah Jones' `The Fall', Tift Merritt's `Bramble Rose', a 3 disc collection of 50's girly teen rockers and a rotating series of Ryan Adams country albums! Clearly my car likes a country mix once in a while!

Many of the bands mentioned are generally liked by at least a fair number of proggies.  A lot of them have either been proposed for addition at one time or another (mostly to PR) or are already here:  Super Furry Animals, Dire Straits, Elton John, ELO, Nirvana, Beach Boys, Bob Dylan, Patti Smith, Leonard Cohen.
 
Major props to whoever called out Ofra Haza.
 
I'll add Concrete Blonde to the list, plus Gun Club for the punk subset.  Both are probably little known enough to escape distate from the general prog populace.
 
These are the two that top my chart of guilty pleasures though.  A big brass Bucky Beaver badge to whoever knows who they are:

Sade fan here!  Have her first three albums and love them.
Wow !! I must admit I love the last 3 albums more, but Diamond Life, Promise and Stronger Than Pride are all consistently excellent. Her 2 live DVD's are top class. Always has a great band on stage. I love her as much as Dagmar Krause !!
