Where to begin? 
I see a lot of my faves have been mentioned - what? Wishbone Ash aren't prog???
Try these;
AC/DC - Let There Be Rock (especially some of the awesome 20-minute live versions - my favourite is the one on "If You Want Blood...")
Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath
Blue Oyster Cult - Black Blade/Monsters (Cultosaurus Erectus)
Boston - Foreplay/Long Time (Boston)
Celtic Frost - the entire album "Into the Pandemonium".
The Clash - Guns of Brixton
Diamond Head - Living on Borrowed Time
The Damned - Plan 9 Channel 7/Smash It Up (Part I)/Alone Again Or
Groundhogs - Split (all parts) (and Cherry Red!)
Helloween - Ride the Sky (Walls of Jericho)
Metallica - Master of Puppets
Ozzy - Mr Crowley
Pink Fairies - the whole "Kings of Oblivion" album.
Radiohead - Exit Music For A Film/Lucky/The Tourist (from OK Computer - a prog album if ever there was one!).

Wishbone Ash aren't listed in the archives, Cert, which was the definition I offered at the begining of this thread, but yeah, I know what you mean.

"Ebony and Ivory," by Jackson & McCartney! Pure prog magic!
(Just joking! That saccharine pap is a waste of three minutes of anyone's life! Jackson aside, McCartney sure has released a lot of guano in his time! BARF!)
Seriously though, lots of Kate Bush and Sting is very intelligent, small "p" progressive music. From Kate "Cloudbursting," from the former schoolteacher Gordon Sumner, I'll pick "Why Should I Cry for You."
Lovely, moving stuff!

Yeah, Dude, lots of the Celtic/"electric traditional" stuff could fit here, such as:
Fairport Convention - "The Wounded Whale" & "Tam Lin" (to name only two)
Steeleye Span - "Jack Hall," "Two Butchers," "Long Lankin," "Edward," "Lady Diamond," "The Prickly Bush," and "The Old Maid in the Garrett," plus a hundred other songs I could easily name -- hey, my Celtic collection is bigger than my prog collection!
But one classic Irish trad/prog band, in particular, belongs on the Archives proper, and I repeat: Horslips, Max, Horslips! (Ask any Irish hippy!)
Enjoy the music! Lots of kinds of music! (But especially prog!)

Yeah, I'd say that Sting in general is intelligent jazz & prog-fan-friendly music! Good call!

Man after my own heart. I even worked for Span, selling merchadise at gigs, UK tour in '83, plus attending many a Fairport Reunion Festival. Like "Prog-unplugged".

UFO, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Iron Butterfly. They all have their prog moments.
If you like prog metal: Try the first album from Iron Maiden (especially the song 'Phantom From The Opera') or Judas Priests 'Sad Wings Of Destiny' (AAAAh, Victim Of Changes!! ). A very progressive death metal band are Mercyful Fate. Try their album 'Melissa'. Very loud, but great riffs!

You talking about the splendid bashes at Cropredy, there? I'm a veteran of the last 13 of them myself......
Going this year? Mostly Autumn & Jethro Tull are playing (also, if rumours are true, it could be the last one)

Then you just missed me Jim. I moved to Amsterdam 14 yrs ago but before that, a regular...coincidentally, yesterday I was looking at some old photos of me and my mates in our teenage years, Croperdy '86, when Bob Plant got up on stage with Fairport and did a folk version of the Lemon Song. Sweet!

Sorry Dude, but the following are disqualified;
DAVYS ON THE ROAD AGAIN:MANFRED MANNS EARTH BAND(The live version with all the keyboard work!!....come to think of it you could add BLINDED BY THE LIGHT!!)
THE THOUGHTS OF EMERLIST DAVJACK:(BUT I CANT REMEMBER THE NAME OF THE BAND ...THE NICE????????)

All of these artists are featured in the Prog Archives, (see opening post on this thread). I'll let you off with Dave Gilmore as his solo work (inexplicably) is not included.
