The Movie by Aerosmith (at least it's very proggish to me and it's instrumental so...)

While The Sweet was famous for its glitter-rock sound, "Set Me Free" is a standout song that also features progressive rock elements. This song, which was included on their 1974 album "Sweet Fanny Adams," is more in line with the progressive rock genre because of its elaborate guitar work, dense song structures, and an experimental approach. The Sweet used a more nuanced and technically complex approach in "Set Me Free," departing from typical catchy glitter-rock from the first half to the mid-1970s. In contrast to their usual repertoire, the tune features prolonged instrumental parts, dynamic changes in speed and mood, and lyrical themes that explore more complex subjects. Indeed, "Set Me Free" could be considered a splendid heavy-progressive rock song that exemplifies The Sweet's adaptability and willingness to venture outside of their glitter-rock repertoire. |

Hm. I have a few, but...
Jane's Addiction -- All of side 2 of Ritual de lo Habitual It's kind of a suite almost, isn't it? It's not all connected themes, but the moods and musicality of that second side are so different from their funk metal stuff.

That's really cool. I can completely see that song being done by any of the great 70s keyboard prog bands.

Now here's something a little bit obscure. Gaya Muda Merdeka by Harry Sabar. It's surprisingly proggy, at least for someone associated with easy listening, cookie cutter ballads.

Climax Blues Band - "Amerita/Sense of Direction"
Climax Blues Band had a lot of proggy touches in their music during their early years, including the simple fact that they were so eclectic, especially for a band that was essentially a blues/boogie rock band (of course they morphed into a more yacht rock/AOR-type band later--their trajectory actually has some simliarities with Chicago, who were also quite proggy at times during their earlier years). If everything they'd done had been in the vein of "Amerita/Sense of Direction", though, I would have simply considered them a prog band: |

The whole album is a space rock masterpiece, I can't understand why they aren't here.
