Heaven 17 - come live with me/Let Me Go

These 2 songs are also truly beautiful 80's classics.

I know "white bird" by It's a beautiful day(which I consider to be proto prog). Is there another "white bird?"

The Moody Blues

Among others.

There are way too many non-prog songs that I love and find really beautiful to try and remember them and put them here. Right now I might just go for "Fly me to the Moon" (I really wish it had been adapted by King Crimson, something between the jazzy style they used with "Bolero" and the studio version of "Starless"), Greensleeves, and The Last Unicorn (by America).

Some coming to mind

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Free Bird
Jimmy Cliff - Many Rivers To Cross
Johnny Clegg - Asimbonanga
Soundgarden - Black Hole Sun
Arlo Guthrie - The City Of New Orleans
Buffalo Springfield - For What It's Worth
Iosonouncane - Carne
Janis Joplin - everything she did
Kate Havnevik -Sleepless
Lou Reed - Almost everything he did
Patti Smith - Land and a lot of other songs
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Parallel Universes
Ska-P - I love this Spanish strongly politically oriented SKA band.

Then I think to Dylan, Tom Petty, some Italians like Rino Gaetano who was absolutely non-prog but a genius in particular with lyrics, and again John Mayall, and many bluesmen, the Rolling Stones, Clapton...there's a lot of stuff outside. Some world music i.e. Mori Kante Pagan folk: Omnia and even some newage is surely not bad. I love Lucia Hwong and I also suggested her for inclusion years ago but I guess she's been rejected.

I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

This is a lovely thread, but oh so very much in the wrong place.

You are right.  "General Music Discussions" ooks more appropriate

I'm surprised to see this mentioned here, but you are right. Have you heard Montanha Mãe off their latest album? They went full Prog on that one ;)

  'Waterloo Sunset'- The Kinks

Plenty of others by this band
