   As I said in a different thread, I think there are several tracks on the new My Morning Jacket (Z) that feel prog like to me.

	I forgot one- Behold! The Night Mare by the Smashing Pumpkins also, Twisted Logic by Coldplay is sort of space rock-y, with it's lyrics and spacey music. and High Speed by Coldlplay also.

	Pop singer Vanessa Carlton had a single about 3 years ago, "A Thousand Miles", which sounded a great deal like it could be a Hogarth-era Marillion song. (Unfortunately, the rest of the album was horrid.. and it takes a LOT of effort to screw up a cover of "Paint it Black" by the Rolling Stones) But as far as getting non-prog listeners to convert, start with what they already like, and draw paralells from there. If they like Metallica, go with Dream Theatre. If they like Dave Matthews, go with Phsih or The Strawbs If they listen to techno, try Vangelis or Kraftwerk If they listen to classical, go with ELP and so on Failing that, go with stuff that has heard radio play, and that they would recognize, as a starting point.... RUSH..Closer to the Heart, Tom Sawyer KANSAS..Point of Know Return YES...Roundabout, Changes, I've Seen All Good People ELP...Karn Evil 9 (1st, part 2) GENESIS...In a Cage, Turn it On Again etc etc etc Edited by jefmoret

	Led Zepplin's 'No Quarter' is great! I think that Deep Purple's 'Come Taste the Band' Album has some proggy stuff due to the influence of Tommy Bolin. Blue Oyster Cult's 'Secret Treaties' LP - particularly the song 'Astronomy' David Bowie - Alladin Sane LP Zappa's - Overnight Sensation LP The Cure's - A Forest Golden Earring's Moontan LP Almost any early Rush will do.

	Thin Lizzy - Roisin Dubh (Black Rose) Tool - Third Eye (classified as a Prog Metal band, but might do the trick anyway) Mastodon - Hearts Alive Queen - Prophet's Song The Doors - The End, Five To One and Yes, The River Knows Monster Magnet - Ultimate Everything (maybe a bit off this one, but still a great song from an awesome band) Edited by ColonelClaypool

	Okay a proggy song by a non prog band is Planet Caravan by Black Sabbath. And then there's Led Zeppelin's Achilles Last Stand and no Quarter. Some friggin wicked songs come out of non-prog bands. There's a lot more too, but I don't fell like thinking. Passenger by Deftones is sort of Spacey and proggy. Yeah and also some stuf from the Doors is pretty warped and wicked, like The Soft Parade, and also The Coral are sort of Psychedelic-ish-ly influenced. I think Linkin Park are embracing their love of instrumental stuff, like try listening to Session or Cure for the Itch- they're instrumental tracks, that I think are a hell of a lot more proggy than stuff that even Pink Floyd has done. Proggy, that's a great word. also Foreclosure of a Dream by Megadeth and some Soundgarden, like Half, and some Jane's Addiction are pretty trippy too. I find that if you listen to the movie The Nightmare Before Christmas, it's almost like a rock opera! I could see Queen or Pink Floyd singing that crazy stuff! Edited by Peace Frog
