Agree about Lennon's Mind Games. I've always thought it's an unheralded prog classic! Also:
Lou Reed - Sad Song
Propoganda - Dr Mabuse

Interesting topic. I will have to check out some of the lesser-known suggestions above. Defining artists/bands as progressive or not is a hard enough task; defining individual songs is almost impossible. However, using the progarchives band listing as a litmus test for artists, here are some songs that have always struck me as "prog-rock" to a lesser degree:
Paul McCartney - Band on the Run, maybe Live and Let Die
Blood, Sweat, & Tears - Spinning Wheel
Phish - Maze, maybe some others...
Chicago - Beginnings, others...
Wishbone Ash - The King Will Come
Beatles - Most of Abbey Road, especially 2nd half beginning with You Never Give Me Your Money, have other songs that could be considered prog-lite I suppose
|
Wishbone Ash - Time Was.
Abbey Road - no way. Just because side 2 has a load of songs strung together, it does not become prog.

Amen to that. Or I will start calling Yesterday once more by the Carpenters (the album version) prog in these threads...

I recommend Brazilian singer Milton Nascimento's albums: "Clube da Esquina" and "Clube da Esquina 2", both from the 70s.

Mind if I suggest, As Falls Witcha So Falls Witcha Falls as perhaps a better candidate for Metheny in prog mode?

Has anybody heard of the French Canadian band, Beau Dommage?.
Well they have this really awesome 20 minute song on their 2nd album called Un Incident a Bois-des-fillion.

It all depends on your definition and opinion of what
prog is. My list:
U2 - "Bad"
(let the flaming begin)
Gowan - "Criminal Mind"
Procol Harum - "Conquistador" and "Whiter Shade of
Pale"
Phil Collins - "In The Air Tonight"
Tom Petty - "Don't Come 'Round Here No More"
(... ok maybe not.)
Lisa Dalbello - "Gonna Get Close To You"
The Police - "I Burn For You"
Edit: I almost forgot
Sarah Maclauchlan - "Posession"
Leonard Cohen - "Dance Me To The End Of Love"

Iron Maiden (several ones, but let's say) - Rime of the Ancient Mariner
Metallica - One
Neil Young - Words (Between the Lines of Age) (well, not really, but it's got a few weird bar changes)
X JAPAN - Art of Life
