Greenslade
Gryphon (no idea why they are filed under "Prog Folk"; they clearly
belong into "Symphonic". the use of unusual instruments like krumhorn
or bassoon does not make a band "folky")
Hoelderlin (filed under "Prog Folk", but they belong into "Symphonic" too. only their first album has a folky attitude)

Not quite sure what the criteria should be for "unknown", but some of my favourites among the - shall we say - "lesser-known" bands are:
Druid
Flamborough Head
Rain
Fruupp
XII Alfonso
Mind Sky
Trion

1. Cressida.
Their flawless, mild and pleasant second and last album 'Asylum' sold
only 800 ex. when it was released in '71. It makes me sad thinking
about it. Please get this forgotten classic.
2. Schicke Führs & Fröhling.
Listen to these germans and out where Anglagard got their sound from.
3. Shylock
Not many people know this instrumental, spacey, symphonic french
band. The title track 'Il de fievres' is one of my favorite
instrumentals.
If Gnidrolog wasn't placed in art rock, I'd add them too. And then there's all the countless lesser known italianprog bands.

Just curious, is the sample of Proto-Kaw here on PA representative?
It's not as rawky-awful as Kansas, but it's really more jammy than
Symphonic.

This Heat and Camberwell Now, symphonic, I don't think so....

^ They vary from song to song but the main theme is Symphonic. I think no matter what style he goes into Kerry Livgren always comes back to symph. He writes songs mainly with piano so that pretty much dictates the style a lot of times. The guitar written songs like Carry On My Wayward Son from Kansas or from Proto-Kaw Melicus Galdiator tend to be on a heavier edge and simpler in nature. The jammy parts are really when they play live and it is that which really separates P-K from Kansas. They play Belexis and Death of Mother Nature Suite in their set but they are a lot different than the way Kansas would have played them. They extend almost every song they play. The bass player and keyboard player are incredible live. Their main influences are Jaco Pastorius and Brian Auger so it isn't your usual prog sounds that come from them. VDGG and Frank Zappa are also big influences on the rest of the group. They are also most definitely an American band as was Kansas so expect some of that in the music too.
