Handful of Prog songs from non-Prog artists!

There's nothing prog about Albatross,it's a dull blues song:the opposit of exciting prog!!!! Grrrrr....

May I nominate Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti??? They made some terrific arty songs with a 70's feel in it on their latest albums(2009). Certainly check Fright Night, Round & Round and Little Wig(hilarious!!!!). Also check New trumpets of time.

by the way: there are a lot of glam rock elements in  prog, an important point which is missing in our own site's iintroduction to prog. just look at the stage costumes of ELP or of Yes! Peter Gabriel's various costumes also are a very glam rock thing. Queen and Roxy Music are just one step away from glam rock. the prog-related David Bowie is an icon of glam rock. look around and you will certainly find a lot more examples

I even agree, but "Faith Healer" is something special

That's not true AT ALL. The loudest, the hardest, the toughest, etc, are terms that MANY (have to be precise because seems that people can't understand figures of speech) bands use to describe themselves. That's debatable, but no matter what, it's entirely different than what you said in your previous post. Now you're saying that MANY bands use these adjectives, whereas in the previous post you said "every metal band claims to be the hardest one", which is even more incorrect. But when a band uses a term like Glam (which has negative connotations) to describe themselves...I believe them. I have no place to get involved in the discussion about Sweet. However, this comment is also heavily debatable/incorrect. Glam does not always have negative connotations- many metal fans (myself included) don't enjoy glam metal very much, but some of the most critically and commercially praised metal albums are glam metal.
