when I think back to the commercial music of the 70s, that is, music written for themes, adds, and incidental needs, I hear a huge ELP influence, also a large Fusion/Canterburry impact

The Red Hot Chili Peppers (most vehemently Frusicante) have expressed intense love for VDGG's "Pawn Hearts" and apparently the lead singer is big into Peter Hammill.

Eno's producing is in high demand (I expect him to redeem Coldplay and U2 a bit this year  )

Early hip hop was influenced by the steady rhythm of Kraftwerk. Africa Bambaataa sampled "Trans Europe Express".

it always strikes me that some of the newish piano-driven bands like KEANE and
COLDPLAY have some sort of progressive influence – even if it is rarely admitted
or mentioned, least of all by the press and their managements and companies.
imagine, for instance, what a renaissance SUPERTRAMP (although not a real prog
rock band at all) could have if someone stepped onto his soapbox...
er ... supertramp ... soapbox ... a soapbox opera ... sorry for the unintended pun ... freudian slip ...

progressive rock and rural tranquility don't match. true or false?

Well, as I suppose all of you know, Frusciante is an unofficial member of The Mars Volta, since he's appeared on all of their albums (and Flea as well, on Frances the Mute). So, the connection with prog is loud and clear here, though I can't really say TMV have influenced RHCP at all.
