DIDDY:GOTTA AGREE ABOUT SALISBURY BY URIAH HEEP IN MY OPINION ONE OF THE GREAT UNDERATED PROG CLASSICS,(i CONSIDER U.H PROG,OR AT LEAST BORDERLINE)

PACO FOX:AGAIN I AGREE, TELEGRAPH ROAD  IS PRETTY DAMN CLOSE TO A PROG TRACK BY A BAND THAT WAS NOT IN THE GENRE

FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION:I BELEIVE THAT RAINBOW RISING BY RITCHIE BLACKMORES RAINBOW IS ABOUT AS CLOSE TO PROG AS YOU CAN GET WHILE STILL  BEING IN ANOTHER GENRE(great album)

AS A MATTER OF FACT I BELEIVE MUCH OF DEEP PURPLES EARLY OUTPUT(book of talysin ETC) HAS AT LEAST A PROG INFLUENCE THAT AFFECTED MANY TRULY PROG BANDS THAT STEMMED FROM THAT ERA

Electric Light Orchestra - Eldorado (one of two ELO concept albums).

Five extra bonus prog points for those who could name the other album?

You may mention some good english non-prog bands, I would refer to some albums that would be consider...

"Pequeñas Anectodas sobre las Instituciones" (Sui Generis), the next step would be La Maquina de hacer Pajaros (that's prog)...Also Seru Giru Giran stuff after La Maquina...I would suggest The self titled and Bicicleta, I would also mention La Grasa de las Capitales, but songs on that album don't really move me at all.

Spanish stuff, I would say the most basic, but really good examples.
