What not prog band would've made the best prog?

   The original incarnation of Cky with Deron Miller at the helm. It was ALMOST what I'd argue crossover, especially their final album Carver City in 2009. Predictable pop rock arrangements with heavier riffs and synth interludes/odd mete sh*t thrown in. Plagued by Images and Imaginary Threats immediately come to mind as solid examples of this.

	Not sure they done anything strictly speaking prog rock, but XTC or Talk Talk would have been good prog peddlers.
	Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

	The one that sticks out for me is Bad Religion who are obviously a punk band, but who put out one album that was decidedly less punk, and more prog.

	What band or artist who isn't or wasn't strictly prog would make or would have made the best prog? Who'd have had the most artistic success in the world of prog who went a different direction instead? Who did one or two things that were prog and they were great, ditched that for some other style, but would have been a favorite prog artist of yours had they done more prog?

	Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)
