Monster Magnet, being a total 1970s psychedelic hard rock tribute, has a handful of prog-leaning songs too.

Roy Wood: his first solo record, “Boulders,” is quirky, idiosyncratic and stylistically all over the place, as is the norm for him. The two tracks closest to prog are, IMO, Nancy Sing Me a Song and Dear Elaine, both of which would have fit in on the first ELO album.

Cream: “Wheels of Fire” has several: As You Said, White Room, Passing the Time, Pressed Rat and Warthog, Those Were the Days and my single favorite Cream tune, Deserted Cities of the Heart. From “Disraeli Gears”: Dance the Night Away, World of Pain, Blue Condition. From “Goodbye”: Badge, What a Bringdown, Anyone for Tennis.

But nooo, they can’t even be considered proto-prog around here. Waaaaa……

Moving on…

Al Stewart: Roads to Moscow, Terminal Eyes, Nostradamus, Merlin’s Time, Running Man, On the Border.

Thanks for giving credit to a great band who wrote some first rate songs...unfortunately, most people don't bother to look beyond the radio airplay staples "Sunshine of Your Love" & "White Room"...I consider the songs you listed as belonging in that wonderful primordial prog soup between "Sgt Peppers" and "In the Court of the Crimson King" Wink

A 20-minute multi-section epic by the French BM group Peste Noire. (several members have also been in Alcest and Amesoeurs) Goes through several tempo shifts, with lots of contrast between acoustic and heavy sections the latter even alternating between radically different riffing styles.



I feel awkward calling a song by a band that politically reactionary "progressive"... but, hey, if Current 93 and Drudkh and Janus can make it unto the site...
