Another one:
Andrew Lloyd Webber: Variations (although it's listed in PA)
Also some parts of Jesus Christ Superstar sound like prog.

Don't remember if I called this one : Kajagoogoo - 'Introduction' ( the B-side of Hang On Now) - a near 6 minute instrumental that wouldn't be out of place on an 80's Prog Electronic album. Seriously. Laugh all you want.........

This. I found the entire Love Over Gold album somewhat progressive, but Telegraph Road is definitely my favorite song on the album.

Is that the entire album "The Crossing" by Big Country or the very obscure non-album track "The Crossing"?

I can see that the entire album "The Crossing" deserves some recognition to being given a nod in the prog direction.

I meant the non-album track, which was released in the U.S. on the “Wonderland” mini-LP.  To your other point, I couldn’t agree more, since that’s why I first glommed onto them way back when.

Two great Get Out of Here songs, because that's the reaction you're likely to get when you tell people who they're by:

The title track from this album by the same band responsible for the likes of Hanky Panky and Mony Mony:


This one's all the more remarkable for the fact that it's from their debut album, right there with their more bubblegummy hits:

I didn't look through every post.  Hopefully no one mentioned these yet.  Anyway, a handful of favorites in this category:

Edgar Winter - the side 1 suite from his debut, Entrance:

(it's the first seven tracks, through "Re-Entrance"--I'm only posting a link to the first track, because they're separate on youtube . . .  Entrance is one of my favorite albums period)

Neil Diamond - "The African Trilogy", which is comprises side 2 of his album Tap Root Manuscript


KISS - "Under the Rose"


New England - "Explorer Suite"


Eagles - "Journey of the Sorcerer"

Ah--just noticed that New England actually has an entry on progarchives, so I probably shouldn't have listed them.  I don't really think of them as a prog artist though, especially not moreso than Angel or the first couple Babys albums, and neither of them have an entry on progarchives.

Also my vote. For that album (Love over Gold) they should be included in the prog related section of the site.
Also agree with the Halo of Flies of Alice Cooper. UFO has some pretty amazing space rock which could be called prog...
To be the one who seeks so I may find .. (Metallica)
