My top prog singles would be:

Northern Lights - Renaissance: The vocal melody is unforgettable, and beautiful.

Turn it on Again - Genesis: I love the riff played by the paino and guitar, and the fact that it combines some prog trademarks with an accessable RnB feel.

Kayleigh - Marillion: Lyrically a great song, with a superb perfomance from Steve Rothery. This put prog near the top of the chrts where it belonged.

Joybringer - Manfred Manns Earth Band: A joyfull take on Holsts Jupiter.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Marillion's "You're Gone" from Marbles. Everything from the lush keyboards, atmospheric guitar work, to H's heartwrenching lyrics and vocals makes it one of my favorite Marillion tunes. I never tire of this one.

it must have never made/ or most likely not released as a single for the Dutch charts.... sort of a hard one to overlook if it did make the charts.

Zappa's Bobby Brown was # 1. for eleven weeks in Norway in '79! LOL
(Mars Volta album Frances the Mute # 1 here in January '05 is also pretty unbelivable)

I was thinking about an inclusion of I Know What I Like by Genesis, when this single was released in the UK it reached a #17 position but I read stories that this could have been higher, due to logistic problems in the record stores this went wrong?
 
I have given the opportunity 'Others' so everybody is free to mention songs like Bohemian Rhapsody, Babe, ...

I love the song Lady from Styx.
 
As many singles mentioned in your poll, once I loved them (Follow you, follow me or Kayleigh or Owner of a Lonely heart) but now the songs do not inspire me anymore.
The only reasons for prog bands to make singles are money and to communicate to the public that a new album is out.
