I may be totally off-everything with this post, but I imagine prog in other forms of art than music. 
For example, computer games



or plasticine cartoons

There will be crossover points where classical music and 70's/modern prog "contact" and cross paths of similarity.

This is a given, especially in a musical genre with such a high output of counterpoint, syncopation, and ROI in general IMHO.

It's like asking "Do these ingredients remind you of other foods they are also an ingredient in?" Lol.

I'm a fan of a great number of bands, and my friend Curt and I once mused how we would have enjoyed hearing Metallica do a version of "Warrior" by Wishbone Ash!  

Otherwise, not so much.

Prog viagara? I love it!

If i have to imagine prog in other genres i would love to hear Celine Dion break into Gentle Giant harmonics with Keith Emerson keyboards ripping up a storm. Of course she explodes and never heard from again. End of that story.

Not really... but I do like to think about how pop songs would sound with a prog treatment (just like some of the covers Yes did, or Rick Wakeman too). Also, sometimes I wonder (even though I don't like the genre) how it would sound if someone did rap with prog... and I think they could work nice enough together... it would have to be very synth driven, with loud bass and drums... better if it were sort of ethnical african drums... and perhaps some good black gospel-like choirs.

Ok, this is Battiato, but the song is in an album by Giuni Russo.
And let me say that it's a great song

I've done the opposite: listening to non-prog songs and thinking how they would sound with a prog arrangement.

This one for example:

They did the entire Dark Side album, and Sgt. Pepper's as well.



Didn't know it. Thanks. The verses work well, the chorus (perhaps) to a lesser extent, but absolutely not bad.

I've never tried such a thing, but it sounds kind of fun. I might give it a try.

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

LOL
I wanted to recommend Anubis Gate's last album, a covers album (KC, Japan, Steely Dan, Beatles, Genesis among them), one of the best albums I listened to this year,but then remembered I am a minority enjoying this kind of music, so I'll go away quietly. Big smile

I often imagine many of Zappa's compositions as modernist classical pieces. But that's because he was basically a contemporary classical music composer trapped with rock/fusion outfits. This is why so many of the tracks on The Yellow Shark that were originally played with rock groups work so well with the Ensemble Modern. Just take a listen to the main theme or Dog Breath Variations off of Uncle Meat (original or 73-74 versions) and you can hear what I'm talking about.

I suppose mine's less surprising or out there though.
