Grace Slick's "Theme from the Movie 'Manhole'" comes to my mind.

Hi,

You might not realize this ... but in essence, this was a typical playlist for the station in Santa Barbara that brought us Guy Guden and Space Pirate Radio (1974) ... in those days, the DJ's pretty much did their thing, and unlike today, THEY WERE LIVE ... where today, the DJ is basically a nobody and he/she has no say in the material played! 

FM ruled then, and then some!!!! Here's a small listing of things, and it doesn't matter if PA has them or not!

Elton John: Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding
Cat Stevens: Foreigner
David Gates: Suite Clouds and Rain
Al Stewart: Love Chronicles
Chris De Burgh: Crusader
Loggins and Messina: Pathway to Glory
Loreena McKennitt: Lady of Shallot
Don McLean: American Pie
Van Morrison: You don't pull no punches but...
Michael Stanley Band: Let's Get this Show on the Road
Toto: Hydra
George Winston: Longing/Love
Derek and the Dominoes: Layla
Fleetwood Mac: Oh Well
Dire Straits: Telegraph Road
Bob Dylan: Stuck inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues...
Alice Cooper: Halo of Flies
The Allman Brothers Band: Whipping Post
Grateful Dead: (Various things)
Pink Floyd: (Various things)
... some others 
Montrose
Frank Zappa
Jefferson Airplane
Spirit
Quicksilver Messenger Service
Hot Tuna
Boz Scaggs
Chicago
Small Faces
James Gang
Yes
ELP
Jethro Tull
Kinks

... and a lot more!!!!

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Avenged Sevenfold - The Stage
Bathory - Twilight of the Gods
Monster Magnet - Tab...
Venom - At War with Satan
The Orb - A Huge Ever Growing Pulsating Brain That Rules From The Centre Of The Ultraworld

Most of these bands (I don't know for Bathory?) are fan of prog.

Glad to see Foreigner by Cat Stevens and Porrohman by Big Country on the list.
 
Big Country's first 2 albums were masterpieces IMHO. But yes, they did fall away after that in the mid to late '80s, but surprisingly their 90s albums are consistently good and especially their last studio album "Driving To Damascus" in 1999, before Stuart Adamson's tragic death in 2001.

Also an honorable mention to Mick Abraham's ~15 minute "Seasons"(see below) from his 1971 album Mick Abrahams https://www.discogs.com/release/1501920-Mick-Abrahams-Mick-Abrahams

Wonderland (12" Mix) is a Big Country sort of epic I like a lot (great bass & drums).

Spine tingling stuff....yes!

I used to play that 12" Wonderland Mix as loud as possible. Very progressive indeed.

Tony Butler and Mark Brzezicki; a brilliant bass and drum combination. Before they joined Big Country they both played together on Pete Townshend's 1980 album Empty Glass.
