A 'prog nod'........hmmm, probably many bands that could receive that.
Two that come to mind are The Flaming Lips, certainly psych prog at times, and XTC have many of those elements that the Beatles embodied and are probably more 'prog' in their later albums than the Beatles were.

Blue Oyster Cult's 1988 album Imaginos deserves a nod due to it's extreme over dubbing of guitars, epic playing and epic songs with titles like The Siege And Investiture Of Baron Von Frankenstein's Castle In Wesseria . No kidding.

I'll also give a shout out to Dire Straits for the album Love Over Gold. Some sublime prog like moments on this lush album, especially the title track which is beautiful.

I agree with that one, Steve. From the "classic rock" era, I would say both "Low Spark of High Heeled Boys" and "John Barleycorn Must Die" from Traffic. From a more modern perspective, "The Hazards of Love" from The Decemberists.

I'm confused - both those bands are listed here?

You are confused, perhaps, and I am lazy. Either that or I am a procrastinating prognosticator.

. Simple, I knew precisely that both bands should be listed, even though they were already listed and I was too lazy to look it up. Amazingly foresighted...in hindsight.

Mountian: The Road Goes Ever On a 1971 live album featuring a 20 minute side long take of Nantucket Sleighride. the band was firing on all 8 cylinders and Felix was pumping his fuzzed Hofner bass for all it was worth.

^ I was lucky enough to see Mountain in my home town about 6 years ago. I believe Leslie has been through the wars a bit since having a leg amputated or something drastic like that. Thanks for the recommendation. Always rated Felix as a more than decent bass player and that track is about as prog as it gets. Completely irrelevant piece of information- Nantucket Sleighride used to be the signature music for a political debate British TV programme from the eighties called Weekend World . It was hosted by a chap called Brian Walden. I knew his son (Phil) through playing chess for an Oxford league team.

There are certainly moments on Nantucket Sleighride that qualify as proggy.
btw...saw them in Chicago in 1972.

Another one to Scott Walker. How could I forget him?

Cky on their last album Carver City; particularly tracks such as "Plagued by Images", "Rats in The Infirmary", and "Hellions on Parade". So many progressive riffs and grooves going on, with guitar moogs weaving all over the place. Simple rock song structure decorated and expanded upon with plenty of prog elements!

And I would say that also particularly to Mark Knopfler, this brilliant guitarist was especially inspired in the "Alchemy" show (1984), I would say one of its climax was the amazing performance at the final part of the track "Tunnel Of Love" - a damn good solo started pretty emotionaly slowly and continued in a "crescendo" way that is a perfect delight!

Ultravox: Vienna. Just the title track alone still gives me chills.
