Charly García- La Ruta de Tentempié (Argentine 80s pop rock)

Kraftwerk- Frank Schubert (Electronic)
King Crimson- The Talking Drum (Eclectic prog)
Frank Zappa- Beat it with your Fist (Uh, rock guitar solo)

I can't do that, my iPod has been watching Steven Wilson's documentary and now it won't let me use the shuffle. It's afraid of being smashed into pieces with a hammer by some evil pale guy with spectacles. It actually wakes up screaming and sweaty every night. Only whole albums from now on, it says, to play it safe and orthodox.
RPI=>Camelot Club Prog ...but also>MaRaCash records.

This is a great excuse to listen to 20 different songs without stopping:
1)Fires (which burn brightly) - Procol Harum (Crossover Prog)
2)Closer To Believing - ELP (Pop ballad by a symphonic prog band)
3)Sweet Song - Ktzat Acheret (Israeli Eclectic Prog)
4)Yeti Talks to Yogi (Improvisation) - Amon Düül II (Krautrock)
5)Consecutive Seconds - Thelonious Monk (Jazz)
6)Stargazer - Rainbow (Hard Rock/Heavy Metal)
7)So Alone Today - Churchills (Mediterranean/Israeli/Psych/Rock...Proto Prog?)
8)Ghetto of Beautiful Things - Kevin Gilbert (Eclectic Prog - with rap vocals?)
9)Living Space - Moraz & Bruford (Fusion/Avant-Garde)
10)Summertime - Big Brother & The Holding Company (Classic Rock/Psychedelic/Acid Rock)

Second round:

1)Put A Spell On You - Townshend/Gilmour (Blues/Rock & Roll)
2)Crystal City - Steve Hillage (Canterbury Scene)
3)...Maybe I'll Lend You Mine After All - Brand X (Fusion/Jazz-Rock)
4)Breath and Length - The Residents (Avant Prog)
5)Soledad - RC2 (Prog Metal/Symphonic/Eclectic)
6)Karma Police - Radiohead (Alternative Rock)
7)For Michael Collins, Jeffrey and Me - Jethro Tull (Folk Prog)
8)Limelight - Rush (Hard Prog)
9)Theme (Paganini Caprice in A Minor No.24 and Variations 1-4) - Andrew Lloyd Webber (Symphonic/Fusion with Classical intro)
10)Going To California - Led Zeppelin (Folk song played by a Classic Rock band)

So I think 4(somewhat eclectic) or 4.5 (considering the "rap" lyrics provided by Gilbert, Jethro Tull's and Zeppelin's folk, Webber's Clasical Intro and the world music bits delivered by the Churchills and Ktzat Acheret - no punk or reggae)
