A humongous list.

Bob Dylan, Smashing Pumpkins and Guided By Voices would all be up there though.

Let's see here. 

First, I'm not mentioning any band who is listed on this site, even as related or proto - so there go the Beatles, Bowie, Queen Black Sabbath and Jefferson Airplane.

Mott the Hoople (probably my favorite non-prog band)
CSN (& sometimes Y)
REM (up through Monster - then they started sucking)
Fleetwood Mac (the Welch and the Buckingham years, but not so much the Green years)
Hot Tuna (Jorma rocks)
The Cars
The Police
The Fixx
Grateful Dead
I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

Tears for Fears pops to mind as I'm currently finishing up a marathon of them.

The Boomtown Rats and Bob Geldof are another old favorite. Currently I've been enjoying Joanna Newsom and Jay Munly. 

 
Head Over Heels is one of my favorite pop songs ever.


Mine too.  I forgot to mention Tears for Fears, but they are definitely one of my favorites too.

Glad to see another Cash fan Alitare! I agree the American Records are great albums.

I love the covers - especially his duets with Will Oldham and Nick Cave. I wish he'd stuck around longer to do some more of this. Thank Rubin for giving him some breathing room. Go figure Slayer and Johnny Cash would share the same label.

Agreed and his cover of The Mercy Seat is one of his best off the series of the albums' covers.

And anyway I told the truth, but I'm afraid I told a lie.

Non-prog has plagued our fragile earth for too long and should be eradicated.
