No typo I guess, but I have zero recollection of posting thatLOL 
What!???!!! was my first thought when I read it back just now.....and then suddenly remembered the blank space from Fridays, which I don't remember at all.

At least I'm moving away from Cappy Beefy, who usually is the one I reach for after a night out on the town.

"Halo of Flies" by Alice Cooper, definitely!  

"This Kid's" by UFO, for the amazing 8-voice choir Mellotron played by Leo Lyons.  

"Wherever I May Roam" by Metallica is another favorite of mine, great imagery & cool instrumentals.

Didn't Britney Spears cover Yes' I've Seen All Good People? She is who she is, but if she sang it, I'd love to hear what her handlers did to (for) it. Anyone else ever hear it. Was it any good?

There must be tons of Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple songs, but a song that basically smashes punk and prog together is Fear's Camarillo. The time signatures and arpeggios are pretty adventurous, especially as punk goes:

This is a band from Ireland, stunning heartfelt song. The piano tunes and vocals especially, very real and heartfelt. If you can please give this a listen. I love this song, since 2011 I have replayed this over and over again, just played this again and got that same special feeling I got first time. A song that to date I cannot get enough of doesn't matter how many times I listen. HeartThumbs Up
 http://indigoprime.bandcamp.com/track/forget-about-me
LYRICS:
Forget About Me
I just can’t forget about you, the way you forgot about me.
How hard can this be?
I’m going out of my head,
This mess that you made, it don’t clean so easy.
Ch - Some days I can’t make it of my bed
Some days, I spend hours on the things that you said.
Over and over and over again
Something inside I just can’t defend
They say time heals everything, well, that’s just a lie
To help you get by
And I’m walking round in a daze but these lights never change
And the world has stopped turning
Ch – And some days I wonder just what I have done
I live every day, every day of my life, in a house not a home
Over and over and over again
Something inside I just can’t defend
They say time heals everything, well, that’s just a lie
To help you get by
I’m drinking whiskey all the time, it’s killing the pain
But then you’re sober again
Ch – And some days I wish I had never been born
I wish I could rip out this heart and the pain would be gone
Over and over and over again
Something inside I just can’t defend
But you forget about me,
Forget about me ............. xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Four excellent choices!  Since all of these are circa 1968-1976 (during the hey-day of the "classic" progressive rock arrival), it makes sense that these songs from non-prog bands brand a "progressive" sound to them...
