...what about Geateful Dead's "Terrapin Station Part 1"?
You'll find it in Youtube, but unfortunately they split it up in two parts.
Well... it's a suite, after all!

Grand Funk Railroad's "Railroad" song is very proggy (IMO). I think many of bands that you listed before are in Prog Rock category (like Deep Purple) and these kind of bands aren't non-Prog. Is it correct?!

i have a bunch of songs that sound prog to me (i literally jsut made a post about Bad Religion's Into the Unknown) for now i'll just mention "Clover Over Dover" by Blur -they're british, the song is symphonic yumminess, there are even seagulls in the beginning, lol. when i was first getting into prog, i wondered why al the seagulls, maybe i jsut listened to snow goose too many times.

Not prog as such, but I absolutely love Lou Reed's Rock'n'Roll Animal, terrific guitar work by Steve Hunter, even Lou himself seems to play much above his capabilities as a guitar player, and the bass and drums are also fantastic.

Reading this I just remembered a track my ABBA loving sister and mother hated. Intermezzo - (more ELP than anything...) ABBA and one I liked, Eagle. Regrettably I would have to take the drugs necessary - or find a copy of Abba The Album - whichever, but I vaguely recall that's when their music got serious. Oh yes, Mike Oldfield did a cover of Arrival. Interesting that pop groups do insytrumental tunes. (Yes, I know pop might have snooty connotations coming like this but ... it wasn't usual.
Mind you most prog type pop groups didn't do many purely instrumental pieces. Just those long bits in between choruses on Karn Evil 9... (yes, folks I am a having some fun. In a good mood for once...) Just playing some Nazareth at the moment... Please Don't Judas Me... prog type number and the remastered Hair Of The Dog kills. |

I agree with Achilles Last Stand. Always thought it was the most progressive thing Led Zep have done.
Maybe Frankenstein by Edgar Winter Group.

Speaking of which,The Tour of a lifetime The Grateful Dead with Jerry Garcia touring with Gong with Daevid Allen,Gilli Smyth,and Steve Hillage on that Spacey Guitar.
The Deadheads meet Planet Gong.
Could you imagine the out-of-this-world Jams togather.
The Dead would be Jamming with Gong on songs"Flying Teapot,Isle of Everywhere,Glorious Om Riff.
Then
Gong would be Jamming with the Dead on songs like"Trucking"Turn on your Lovelight","Fire on the Mountain",Playing in the Band"
With Gilli Smyth's Psychedelic Whispering Voice
The Dream Tour of a Lifetime

I think this one fits the bill. Got me to buy the album way back when and I got the CD release not too long ago:
Oh here's what appears to be an original video: Edited by Slartibartfast - January 06 2011 at 20:13 |

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I think a lot of British rock bands in the early to mid 70's had their prog moments - here's just a few that come to mind
Black Sabbath - Spiral Architect, Sabra Cadabra, Megalomaina
Deep Purple - Fools, Child in Time
Led Zeppelin - No Quarter, The Rain Song, a good chunk of the Physical Grafitti LP and later on Achilles Last Stand, Caroselambra
Uriah Heep - Paradise/The Spell, July Morning
If I had more time, I'd probably come up with about a hundred good examples
