^ The occasional Wings track fits Prog criteria.

What about Wings? They're a great band. According to Wikipedia, Band on the Run is progressive rock, but I'm not really seeing it myself.

Good point there. Bands is more interesting, I suppose. I'll edit the title, if you can do that.

On the subject of classical composers, is everyone here agreed Wagner is included with Mozart and Beethoven as a great composer, or is there some debate on that? Is there a thread on it?

Status Quo was the first concert I went to. Thumbs Up

I agree with you about classical. If I'm listening to the radio it's usually classical and I go to as many classical concerts as I see prog/metal/rock bands.

The Deep Freeze Mice. A band that was rejected by the archives. I consider them to be prog, but for this site they are not.

If we're traveling a long way from prog, for me it's Tom Waits or Igor Stravinsky.

I'm also among the many here that enjoy Led Zep and Cream. Also a fan of Alice Cooper.

Just one? No can do ... but a few artists (not necessarily 'bands' per se) that are up there include:

The Police, Dire Straits, Big Country, early Gary Numan, Yaz (or Yazoo, depending on where you're from), Kraftwerk (are they in here?), Devo, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Michael Hedges, Christopher Parkening, Julian Bream, John Williams (from Sky but as a solo artist), and Andre Segovia ... but the list is pretty much endless ...

If I had to list every metal, punk, new wave, soul, blues, jazz, fusion, funk, classical, and disco band/artist that I liked, it would fill pages and pages and you would become even more bored reading it than you are right now.

Chances are ... if you say ... "Well, what about bla bla bla?" ... then I'll probably either say something like ... "Oh yeah! You rock!" with my two thumbs up, or "What a bunch of posers!" with my cringe-face.

Plus his brother was a singer in a prog band back in the 90's. I always thought SG had some prog elements at least. Very good band regardless.

A non-prog band that I've been listening to quite a lot in recent times is Foals. I don't know if they've become my favourite non-prog band, but they certainly have impressed me with their music.
 
 
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.

If you mean bigger as in success, I think Dylan would win there.

These are my big faves too, well Iron Maiden & Queen not as big as those others. And I think Roy Harper is much bigger than Dylan & Cohen!
