         Another Wish , hoping in advance that one day it will become true , I join my voice to Markosherrera's ,
regarding many bands must be available one way or another , in progarchieves , such as Budgie , Free , Grand Funk Railroad , Ten Years After and many others listed by Markosherrera , cause these bands
brought to our music a lot of influence , Not to mention that many bands since the 60's , has been affected by their works . ........................................ Even if it crosses the red point of progressive in a minor terms , still
it's a must to be done in point of view ........thanks for progarchieves collaborators to take our opinion into consideration ////////////////       . Tracks Toni .

Of bands that are not on this site, I'd easily select Todd Rundgren.  The Police would probably be my second choice.

                              Agree with Todd , adding Lindisfarne , Foghat , Jeff Beck . Carmine Appice , Rory Gallagher , Budgie , Dust , Peter Frampton , Nazareth , Stone the Crows , Steve Hillage , Moody Blues , B.J.H , John Miles , David Mc Williams , Rare Earth , Boocker T & the MG's , Space , Didier Marouani , Giorgio Moroder , Elton John , Traffic , Stomu Yamashta , Steve Winwood , Jim Capaldi , Ten Years After , Spooky Tooth , Badger , Alice Cooper , ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, and to be honest , progressive music touch can be
found in so many works for these bands & artists , such as ( only as example )
              - hello of lies --- Alice Cooper  ,  - the days of pearly spencer --- David mc williams , - lady elianor ---
lindisfarne , - hard attack --- dust  , - music --- john miles , - get ready --- rare earth , - go.... yamashta's ,
-------------------------------------- and so many others tracks & bands involved one way or another in progressive music , by using the blues , jazz , classical , dance , folf & country , or even soul & pop .
             ---  Remark  =  So many talented artists & bands ,even songwriters & sound engineers , are not listed , did one way or another excellent releases since the 60's , and deserves the right  treatment in this
prospect .................................   Yours , Tracks Toni .

Over 70% of the music I know at this point isn't prog, so far too many to count.

Talk Talk is a biggie, though.
