Awesome tune! Always known about it but don't think I actually heard it until the 40th anniversary release of In the Wake of Poseidon. Those recent KC-bonuses are all pretty worthvile. I particularly love The Law Of Maximum Distress, Pt. 1 & 2 (Starless and Bible Black)

Like the bonus tracks on ELO 2 and ELO's On the Third Day (they're very clean).

Yep, that's my #1 prog bonus track. Some other worthwhile listens include:

IQ - Wintertell
Island - Empty Bottles
Khan - Break The Chains
Yes - Something's Coming
Yezda Urfa - The Basis of Dubenglazy (While Dirk Does The Dance)

And if we open it up to non-prog bonus tracks, some others that I like include:

Judas Priest - Thunder Road
Led Zeppelin - Hey, Hey, What Can I Do
Traveling Wilburys - Runaway

Then if I include all of Lynyrd Skynyrd's great demos and "previously unreleased" material, too, that adds probably a dozen more:

Comin' Home
Down South Jukin'
Four Walls of Raiford
I've Been Your Fool
Junkie
Preacher's Daughter
The Seasons
Truck Drivin' Man
Was I Right Or Wrong
White Dove
You Run Around
...among others.

It was on their "a young person's guide to king crimson" album but that's been out of print for some time. I think it was re-released on something else besides the 40th anniversary release of ITWOP but I'm not sure.

Comus: indeed the whole of the EP
Groon has never been a bonus track of Poseidon, AFAIAA
Sad Rain is indeed an excellent recent choice,; and the bonus track on their nest Nucleus album is also essential
Pan Dance on the Minstrel In The Gallery
Christmas Song on This Was
Living In The Past on Stand Up
(the rest of the Tull bonus tracks is not nearly as good as those three, IMHO)
 
That Guru track is excellent (first time I hear it) and definitely a worthy bonus

Groon started out as the B-side to the Cat Food single (1970). In 1976, it was part of the A Young Person's Guide to King Crimson compilation album. It also appeared on the boxset Frame by Frame - The Essential King Crimson (1991).

Amon Duul II's Phallus Dei (TouchMaPhal and I Want The Sun to Shine) and Popol Vuh's In Den Garten Pharaos (Kha White Structures 1 and 2) both have bonus tracks that match most of their respective albums in quality

This one of Strawbs' "From the Witchwood" is one of my favourites.

Tull has a lot of interesting bonustracks, some of wich are b-sides, but a lot of them were demos. Anyhow, I love listening to them.

Barclay James Harvest has some great and interesting bonustracks on the 4 remasters of the their 4 first albums.

Uriah Heep has never included the song Here Am I (8 minutes progrock) on a regular album, wich is from the Salisbury-sessions, and is a really great song.

Camel have never officially released (only on DVD) Autumn and Riverman wich (in my opinion) are great songs.

Saga had a song called Walking on Thin Ice (from the Steel Umbrellas-era) wich was a bonustrack in some countries and only appeared on a compilation albums wich is put of print.
A very great progrocksong.

Barclay James Harvest recorded Maestoso for Everyone is Everybody Else, but never released it (it's a wonderful song). Luckily it's a bonustrack these days.

These are the songs that spring to mind.
Some bands already released compilations with rarities, so can we think of them as bonustracks?

I agree that Strawbs had some very interesting bonus tracks, namely on Antiques & Curios and Witchwood
 
Uriah Heep's Why was better than any tracks on the D&W album as well.
 
 
However, I think the Here Am I bonus track is an outtake piece of the Salisbury suite.
