"Radio-friendly" might be stretching it since I'm not sure what kind of station would be playing them, but here are some prog songs not-yet-mentioned that I find to be pretty easy on the ears: Caravan - The Dog, The Dog, He's At It Again Gracious - Blue Skies and Alibis Pink Floyd - Summer '68 Renaissance - Kiev (over 7 minutes, but who cares; just cut out the piano intro and you're good) T2 - J.L.T.

Karn Evil 9 was played to death on American and Canadian airwaves, and I believe that most sentient posters here recognize and have heard the songs on the radio from the list I posted. I've never really listened to Kansas at all, but evidently the album Leftoverture went 6x platinum around the world, indicating that even knuckle-dragging dolts from your country bought the album. Otherwise, I don't give a damn about your feelings of insignificance, cry about your inadequacies elsewhere.

I considered what prog music (and prog bands) actually has been played on radio (considering many of the selections by other posters have never been played on the radio, or at least not since the mid-70s, and have at least a hint of commercial appeal): Yes - Roundabout (radio singles edit) ELP - Karn Evil 9: 1st Impression, Part 2 Rush - Anthem Pink Floyd - Run Like Hell Kansas - The Wall Supertramp - Bloody Well Right King Crimson - The Night Watch Genesis - The Carpet Crawlers Alan Parsons Project - Time |
