They've had many hits but "Terrapin Station" (the album) seems to be the Greatful Dead's singular contribution to prog.  I have found very little said about it here on PA, so maybe I'm the only one who thinks it qulaifies as prog.(?)

when i was young this album was totally hated... all the hipster/stoner types loved the country/roots music dead like american beauty, aoxomoxoa,  and uncle john's band(decent to great records) and they liked the live stuff...

a few years ago i heard this 'disco' album all the way through at this guy's house -he was 30--something... it seemed pretty good to me-i liked the funk and song writing... then i started running into people who claimed this was their favorite dead album... i thought it was a strange coincidence... but 'as the world turns'Smile... i think people(younger generation-gen xers) must've written the late seventies stuff off for so long... then they got desperate after listening to dark star and st stephen a couple thousand times... and started listening to the thing and ended up liking it a lot

bah?Talk Talk was a great Pop Band with great albums period. It's My Life is fantastic. Talk Talk's a fun listen too.Hackett has so many great songs and albums. I can't even begin on that. Every DayThe SteppesTime to Get OutCell 151Walking Through WallsCamino RoyaleFunny FeelingNarniaDown StreetThe Hierophant (?)Ace Of WandsI can just name tons!

Don't get me wrong, i love some of the poppy talk talk, but it ain't even vaguely prog.

And as for steve hackett, again i have enjoyed his solo work over many years but SpectralMornings is IMO head and shoulders above the rest of his work.
