Next time that happens, just go BACK, hit REFRESH, and it will ask you to click the CAPTCHA and has worked for me 100% of the time.

Didn't work. I just got "access denied."

"Radio-friendly" might be stretching it since I'm not sure what kind of station would be playing them, but here are some prog songs not-yet-mentioned that I find to be pretty easy on the ears:

Caravan - The Dog, The Dog, He's At It Again
Gracious - Blue Skies and Alibis
Pink Floyd - Summer '68
Renaissance - Kiev (over 7 minutes, but who cares; just cut out the piano intro and you're good)
T2 - J.L.T.

Strange nobody mentioned John Miles or Meatloaf (Jim Steinman)

They created some extended songs with tempochanges and are almost(!!!) proggy, and huge hits.

Furthermore, nobody I know have ever heard of King Crimson or Anathema.
Mostly people know Owner of a Lonely Heart and Dust in the Wind, so they can be considered huge hits.

But the band that really everybody on this planet knows and have scored huge hits with proggy songs are still Queen (Bohemian Rhapsody, Innuendo, Who Wants to Live Forever, Killer Queen).
And maybe Pink Floyd or Led Zeppelin (but most people know only 1 or 2 songs by these bands).
