BOC indeed!

A newer unproggy band I somehow can't help liking very much is Queens Of The Stone Age.

If you want that classic rock sound with a current band, try Gov't Mule.  The rockers love them, metal heads love them, jam band nuts love them...

I have seen them live here in Baltimore about 10 times,and just saw them a few weeks ago.Good band

blur!!!!!!!!!


If any of you say they are a one hit wonder or that the  only song you've heard is Song 2 I will find a way to run you over in a car!!!!

But seriously, check out these albums "Parklife" "blur" and "think tank"  (Think tank has a moroccan influence to it, which is kind of cool)
I asked Bobby Dylan
I asked the Beatles
I asked Timothy Leary
But he couldn't help me either
They call me the seeker

THE WHO!

I can't believe no-ones mentioned XTC!!

Any Beatles fan should like them. My other fave non-prog bands - U2 and The Jam.

you are quite obviously on drugs.  blur are quite appalling - and I'm not comparing them to prog, they are bad in their own right.  that whole britpop thing got out of hand and bands in vogue were left to their own devices to write a pack of sh*t that became albums.

Definetely not prog, but T.Rex is some really decent glam rock. Mostly three chord three minute pop songs, with some strings. Try Jefferson Airplanes After Bathing at Baxters, a very pyschedelic album. Also try some Steppenwolf, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, The Doors (soom good instrumentals), and the Who.
