Seeing the late great bassist Glenn Cornick from Tull has passed away this week; I'll put forward his band Wild Turkey.......their first album Battle Hymn to me is as prog as anything Uriah Heep ever did and only 100 times better. 

Wild Turkey also had the late Gary Pickford-Hopkins on lead vocals who also happened to be the vocalist on Rick Wakeman's Journey To The Centre of The Earth. Would someone please get these guys on PA...I'm too lazy!

I'm really surprised The Orb has not been added already.

1. Their music is very much in debt to Pink Floyd (lots of trippy Dark Side sounds)
2. Early records feature songs with prog-like structures reaching anywhere between 8 to 20 minutes (the original "Blue Room" is a 40 minute masterpiece)
3. Recorded an album with David Gilmour (Metallic Spheres)
4. FFWD is already accepted in ProgArchives, a band that included The Orb's Kris Weston and Alex Paterson

I'd give NoMeansNo a prog nod.  When people ask about bands who combine punk with prog, they're the first band I think of.  They're pretty amazing.

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!

Thanks for suggesting this fantastic rock masterpiece!

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!

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

^ 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.
