Well everyone has mentioned everything I was going to mention, so I'm going to say 'Gryphon' and pretend the question was about krumhorns.

..though, now I think of it, nobody mentioned Captain Beefheart. 'Lick My Decals Off, Baby', for instance has Marimba, as do tracks on 'Shiny Beast' and 'Doc at the Radar Station' at least, and 'Clear spot' has xylophone - though I'd be misrepesenting them if I said there was Marimba all over them (except maybe 'Decals'. God, too long since I've played these...)

I love xylophone sound as well! But rock and xylophone? Not too much, I'm afraid, especially "with a lot of"! But post-Allen Gong was mentioned here, and they were hardly rock at all, but jazz-rock/fusion! So, if we go beyond rock, I'd mention two major jazz-rock/fusion xylophonists: Garry Burton and Mike Manieri (and his band Steps/Steps Ahead). I'd also mention Dave Pike. |

I've yet to hear prog with xylophones I didn't enjoy at some level - infact music containing xylophone has an advantage over all other music. Anyway here's a lovely one (don't skip because of the one and a half minute long intro)

no-one mentioned Embryo so far? it's high time someone does. band leader Christian Burchard plays xylophone (when he isn't playing drums or organ). and on the latest albums his daughter Marja plays xylophone (when she isn't playing keyboards or trombone)

There's xylophone/vibraphone all over Dün's Eros album.
It's also all over Gentle Giant's discography, like on Knots, Playing The Game, Give It Back, An Inmate's Lullaby, His Last Voyage, Funny Ways (live versions), Schooldays. Just listing songs with mallet percussion in general, so some of them will have vibraphone rather than marimba/xylophone.

Correct. "On Reflection" is the first song that comes to mind for me. They are insane with the mallets live.

Well I thought of Embryo but posted the tune on top of my head first

Kauko Röyhkä & Narttu used marimba almost all their albums, but only one of two songs in a album.

Prog rock with a lot of marimba or xylophones?
