Colin Scot, for his self-titled album that’s really more a folk/pop effort but got a lot of attention from proggers for the guest appearances from Rick Wakeman, Robert Fripp, Steve Gould and other luminaries.

 

Here’s an earlier thread on him (or an attempt at one):

Alice Cooper's early 70's albums are prog imho. Halo of flies and black juju are two of my favorite prog songs.

Bonzo dog doo dah band, melvins, and kyuss also all very progressive and influential.

How about Living Color? Metal, funk, R&B and hip-hop influences are certainly not typical.
More heavy prog, please!

I put them up a few years ago and was shouted down. Definitely worth a "prog -related" category IMHO. Living Colour are more prog-related than Metallica ever were.

But I am really going to push for Vernon Reid to be added. His solo work and his other collaborations (with Masque for instance) is as prog as you can get and definitely in the eclectic or possibly Jazz-fusion category.

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.
 
XTC gets my nod.
 
Though it is a very unusual rock band, in the end, their work is insanely progressive, strange and sometimes nutz, and yet ... it works ... and we're not talking just lyrics, which are also a very nice touch on their part.

Clap Listening to Vivid just now... Great album, one of my favourites from the late Eighties! I am not sure about them being prog-related, or more so than Metallica - who were extremely influential for the formation of prog-metal as we know it. On the other hand, LC are definitely eclectic and unconventional.

Personally, I'd like Faith No More to get a "prog nod", but I will continue to enjoy them even if they don'tWink.

Now I have to check out Vernon Reid's solo work. Thanks.
And I'd also add a nod to Faith No More. Crack Hitler anybody?
More heavy prog, please!
