How about Sparks? Stuff like Amateur Hour/This Town Ain't Big Enough is the epitome of prog-pop.

A nice example of a prog pop song is "Generacija 42" by ex-Yugoslavian band Korni Grupa [already in progarchives] and this is a live version which they were performed at Eurovision Song contest in Brighton 1974 [that year, at the same contest, Abba were winning with "Waterloo"!]

Interesting that also ESC is mentioned. I sometimes listen to ESC to see what other people like and the only song that came near to prog for the last two years was this one from The Shin & Mariko (it ended up last place of the semi finals 2014), and it reminds me a bit of Yes and Magma
