hmmm.... learn something new everyday... I knew he played with Eric Burdon and the Animals...but didn't with The Soft Machine.

I already think they are a prog-metal band. |
Well they need that porg element or else I won't even begin to listen to them

Except ATDI already moved into the realm of progressive rock through a band called The Mars Volta...

Mhm interresting Topic,
Personally I would have Loved to see Level 42 go prog, the fact that im a bassist myself and would have been able to see Mark King create Prog Slap Riffs? Id pay alot of money for that :)
Level 42 would have been awesome in the Prog world!

Talking about Black Sabbath, they actually made a couple of tunes that
could be rated as prog-related (or even art rock) during the seventies.
Not too many, but a couple.
And now for something completely different. In Flames are capable of
turning out Opeth-like progressive death metal. In Flames already sound
quite similair to Opeth (during their less proggy moments), and
they have made a couple of semi progressive songs. I doubt they will
consider making more progressive material, but they certainly could.

I'd like to think Simple Minds could have been prog if they wanted

They are good. I have Make Yourself and Morningview and they're enjoyable. Don't have the latest album though because I didn't care for the single I heard on the radio (that was a while ago, wasn't it?) I think they have an established sound in their minds, so I agree with stoney that I doubt "prog" is in their future.

Great topic! Here are my choices:
Muse (Of course!)
The Police
Jeff Buckley (It would have been nice to see him go prog, if he were alive. Unlikely though)
Deep Purple (Always thought that Purple should have experimented a little more. They had the talent)

Yea, the Halo 2 stuff was great. Their most recent album had some proggy tendencies, but only a few of the songs were really getting there. They can do it though.

Wolfmother! They have a seventies sound and I can see that sound expanding to do prog. They already have some prog elements on there album, and some psychedelic elements also.

Wolfmother - one of my new favorite bands (they were on Jimmy Kimmel last night). I could see them going prog for sure! Since I'm a bit of a loose cannon, I'll go out on a limb and suggest the following bands could go prog if they so desired:
Wilco - already incorporate elements of krautrock on songs like Spiders (Kidsmoke) and use a wide array of vintage synths on albums like Summerteeth and Yankee Hotel Foxtrot.
Bjork - some might say her music is already "prog-related" in some ways. But I could see her singing a Kate Bush song or even something from Curved Air or Renaissance.
White Stripes - I mean they already sound ALOT like Blue Cheer to me. I can just see Jack White ripping through a verison of Tull's Aqualung or Roundabout by Yes.

All three came from a prog background. Stewart Copeland played with
Curved Air, and the whole band appear on Eberhard Schoener's album
"Flashback" (why is Eberhard Schoener not in the achives yet, by the
way?), also on his album "Video Magic" (only Sting and Summers; the
drums were played by Evert Fratermann of Volker Kriegel's band). The
Police, by the way, oiginally were a four-piece band, and there name
was Strontium 90; Sting sang and played rhythm guitar in that band, and
the bass was provided by Mike Howlett of Gong. They played on the "Gong
Est Mort - Vive Gong" festival on May 14th 1977.
