What else do you like?

Just for the 'more-wonderful-and-weird-bands-you-never-knew-never-will-kn ow-but-should-know' list title tag, here we go:

• Palais Schaumburg (1981 Debut album only, so simply weird, they might even be some kind of prog)
• Kowalski ('Schlagende Wetter' 1982, dark, experimental and teutonic, the first post-prog metal album ever?)
• Der Plan (much like a German copy of The Residents with added German twist)
• Tuxedomoon (post-punk-new wave-prog, who should be included here really)
• Legendary Pink Dots (post-punk-new wave-prog, who should be included here really)
• The Residents (see all above)
• The Tea Party (copy of Led Zep, The Doors, King Crimson and Fairport Convention, all rolled into one, which could qualify)
• Einstürzende Neubauten (some might guess my country of origion by now, but these guys are simply ingenious...)
• Laurie Anderson (Adrian Belew and Burroughs on 'Mr Heartbreak' anyone?)
• Centipede (Fripp produced, Keith Jarrett leading wondersome one-off jazzrock fusion project)
• Bark Psychosis (anyone? - they actually made two great albums, which should be include here)
• Nurse With Wound (lots of industrial noise, but they made a wonderfully twisted a-capella version of an female-sung Italian oddity melody)
• Eyeless In Gaza (first few albums, should be in here)
• Chrome (weird and twisted post-punk-new wave-metal, even prog in certain moments, could be included)
• Holger Hiller (see Palais Schaumburg)
• Renaldo & The Loaf ('Arabic Yodelling' is 'Close to the Edge' played on a hand-held casio keyboard)
• John Cale (he has his prog moments, more often than not)
• Little Feat (everybody knows, underrated, underhyped, godlike)
• Steely Dan (everybody knows, underrated, underhyped, godlike)

I could go on and on...

I pretty much into everything... although my fave non-prog bands include:

Metallica, Megadeth, Iced Earth, Axel Rudi Pell, Def Leppard, Iron Maiden, Stratovarius and Fozzy.

Maybe we have some 'sleletons in our cupboard' that we prefer to keep to ourselves in fear of being ridiculed by fellow prog lovers. Well I'm going to be brave & name some of mine Human League-'Dare'. The classic 'electronic disco' album. Seen 'em on tour too! Simple Minds-'Good News From The Next World' & 'Glittering Prize'-Seen these live too. A great band! Tears For Fears-I like all their albums. Temptations-'Masterpiece.' I call this 'progressive' soul! Neil Diamond-'Jonathon Livingstone Seagull'. A brilliant soundtrack but havn't seen the movie! The Sweet-Call 'em bubblegum rock or pop but I grew up listening to this band! OK, I can hear the word 'blasphemy' being yelled in my ears already so I'm gonna stop

WHY O WHY?
