Well, there's progressive Dub Reggae - have you heard "Dub Side of the Moon" or OK Computer (Radiodread) by the Easy-Star All-Stars?
 
(The former is very good, the latter is, well, OK...)

Cert,  reggaeton and reggae are not the same genre. Reggaeton is probably the most dumb-down and superficial of the commercially successful genres out today. It's like a rap, but with the same exact beat in every song of every artist in the genre and the same superficial lyrics in every song of every artist in the genre. At least in the past it was slightly varied and less superficial.

 
Yeah, I know - I was trying to plug Dub Side of the Moon as a non-rock Prog album, and this tenuous link seemed just the job Big%20smile

It's just silly I think, but prog and pop together, it's a major contradiction of terms IMO. Long live real Prog and may we soon forget that the popular stuff exists!


I look at the stuff in your sig and what do I see? Something I have no trouble calling prog pop. Easy listening stuff - stuff I happen to love, actually, but easy listening stuff nonetheless.

Tracks progressing to create build-ups is what a lot of Prog songs are about actually... TongueWink

80's pop, new wave and post-punk bordering progressive music - Ultravox, PiL. XTC. Stranglers...
Some goth/industrial music also utilise prog elements , Laibach...Einsturzende,
All the psychedelic pop bands from the sixties: Strawberry Alarm Clock, Seeds, Amen Corner, Move...
Loads of non-prog metal with some prog elemets - but I'm stretching the term "pop" too far here,
World music with pop elemets can also contain prog elemets...new age too...Andreas Wollenweider...
folk that is almost prog-folk...Loreena McKennit, Renbourn,
Many of the 60/70's classic rock bands can be defined as "prog related" in  a way...

Eclectic chameleons, such is David Bowie...

funky/bluesy/jazzy music with prog elements: check Jimmy Smith's "Sit On It".

And of course QUEEN deserves honorable mention in this category.Clap

EDIT:

I forgot about the youngsters: Skinny Puppy, Cocteau Twins, The Orb (FSOL and Air were already mentioned)

Hell, even reggae ! What about side-long piece "Living on a frontline" by Eddie Grant?

While we're on the subject of 1980s, my favourite non-rock bands from that time are Cabaret Voltaire and just about the entire On-U Sound stable - Mark Stewart and the Mafia particularly.

Oh Oh, head for the hills, a new prog subgenre about to be debated for inclusion in PA !!!
Mind you , the "really" progressive pop acts are usually presented for admission under the prog related banner. XTC should be here.

Jean Michel Jarre could be considered progressive pop. 

Aero is his most contemporary prog/electro pop record.  His new album sounds like techo gone wrong. 
 
Age of Silence   and Geometry of Love are danceable Jarre albums. 
 
However, his progressive albums, Osygene, Equinoxe, and Magnetic Fields are amazing. 
 
It's possible to dance to "Magnetic Fields Part 5"  It's calm and easy to follow.

As I said before you can't ignoore Future Sound of London, but check out The Beloved - particularly 'Blissed Out' and 'Conscience'.  I knew the guitarist and he had a soft spot for Hillage.  Here's another sub-genre - Progressive Dub - oh yes - and the undiputed (only?) masters Dub Syndicate.  Wadada!

In a Talking Heads biography the writer considered their album Speaking in Tongues as prog funk. I've only heard a couple of songs on that album so I don't know.

Good desription of that Heads album.  There are strong prog elements to Remain in Light too imho, although Fear of music remains their best.
