How about the song "Welcome to the pleasure dome" by FGTH, not obscure,
not a lot of weird time signatures, but more prog than Spandu Ballet and
Level 42.
Music is the refuge of souls ulcerated by happiness.

Flash and the Pan…especially the 2nd album “Lights in the Night.”
Boys Brigade. They had a hit single, Melody, from their one and only album. Their best-known member, Malcolm Burn, is better known as a producer these days.

Hmm, tough one. Bill Nelson did some vaguely proggy new wave stuff after he left Be Bop Deluxe. Other than that, you might have to go the post-punk route and look at bands like Pere Ubu or the Red Krayola.
Speaking of Bill Nelson....he had a great influence on Stuart Adamson of The Skids and Big Country fame. Check out The Skids "Days in Europa" (Produced by Nelson) and "The Absolute Game", which in my opinion is an almost unclassifable album ie. it's not punk, it's not rock, it's not new wave, it's The Skids music of 1980 and it's monumental! My favourite non prog album of all time. Buy the expanded "The Absolute Game" CD with the bonus album "Strength Through Joy" on it.......now we are heading into weird territory!
