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.

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

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.

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.

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.

The Police also come to mind, with Synchronicity being a very good album, and Extreme's album Three Sides To Every Story also pops up sometimes in these discussions, besides the clearly Prog-oriented 20 min title suite, the rock songs often have interesting chords and arrangements as well, with more than one nod to Queen.

Thank you! ... If Swans are here, then so should Scott be. He would fit nicely in RIO/Avant-Prog.

Perhaps not the artist as a whole, but in terms of particular albums Lou Reed's Rock'n'Roll Animal and Berlin are excellent and with enough complexity. Jackson Browne's Running On Empty is pretty decent too. Dave Matthew's Band have some pretty good stuff too.

There is a place where Prog fans get to extend their favourite non Prog bands the so-called Prog Nod: it was intended to be Prog Related but lord knows what it has come to resembles now? There are those in Prog Related probably more deserving of a 'Glasgow kiss' than a Prog Nod

Maiden are one of those bands like Queen and Steely Dan who almost occupy their own category.

Who do you feel should get a 'Prog Nod'?
