An odd choice Pilot may be, but I think they round well this list reminiscing the Alan Parsons sound, in a way.

Great band. Was lucky to see the RA tour, with the glass guitar and pyramid. One of those shows you never forget, even with large amounts of Thai-Stick.

Not sure how Utopia falls into the "outskirts" when I can think of very few albums more spot-on proggy than their 1974 debut. Certainly, nothing Zappa or Miles/Herbie or PFM/Banco ever did compares to "The Ikon", "Utopia Theme" or even the Zappa-like "Freak Parade"!

Pilot was a fantastic band. January, Smile, Magic. All top quality songs. Check out the insane Mellotron work in this demo.

Utopia, for me, although I like some music of the other bands too.

I know, part of the charm of these guys is that they were balancing on that edge.

They have an ever-changing output making difficult to place it in a particular genre as a whole. I was just thinking that, in their more pop moments, they took a ride on the outskirts.
