Tough choice - a lot of good songs there, but I have to go for Carpet Crawlers.

Bloody Well Right by Supertramp is my personal favourite prog/pop.  Out of that list, I Know What I Like followed by Carpet Crawlers.

What!? Sylvia is not pop! Neither is Hocus Pocus, but I chose it, naturally.
I'm so prog, I clap in 9/8

hmm in fact it depends of what you consider it, is it pop songs of a pop album from a PROG artist?

if so : That's all -  Genesis ...

Or a prog rock song that sound a bit pop:

Wish you were here - Pink floyd

From the list:  Hocus Pocus ;)

From the list: Carpet crawlers...

But I prefer the ballads "Nights in white satin" (MB) and "Still you turn me on" (ELP).

Carpet Crawlers
But I don't think it was written for commercial intent.  From what I've read, it was a filler.

when i was to choose sylvia, i found killer queen at the bottom of the list, i really love this two songs, but queen was my introduction to the music, and still being one of my favourite bands.

Spirit of Radio is a good song! First rush song I heard, before I knew their more proggish side. My vote goes to it then.

I chose "The Carpet Crawlers" as the best song but I don't consider it pop so I'd go for "Closer to the Heart".

Strange as it may seem (I'm not really a Marillion fan), I chose "He Knows You Know" - which, by the way, is not pop by any means, especially on account of its bitter, angry lyrics. Then, out of this list, I'd say "The Carpet Crawlers", "The Spirit of Radio" and "Wonderous Stories".
