PFM, for sure, but I was thinking something from Per un amico cuz their sound and engineering is a bit more evolved by then. I'll think on this one. . . . great album no doubt... just a bit too.. umm.. sedate for my tastes overall.
"Waterloo Lily" is a good one! I'll take that one under heavy advisement! I thought it was a good suggestion of course It is a good representative track for the subgenre.. it does sort of nail the cheeky fun side of Canterbury.
Didn't know Captain Beyond before this moment. Wow! Awesome, glad I helped rectify THAT. Do get that debut album. Killer album from start to finish. Some actually like the more Santana-ish 2nd album more ..but they are out of their minds. The debut is a alltime classic prog album.. the 2nd is a nice album but missing that FIRE the first had. That is on the spot--great power vocals, solid pulse, great guitar sounds, excellent recording/engineering. This is as good as a Uriah Heep, BÖC, Sabbath, Spirit, or Iron Butterfly. (I was actually thinking of finagling either a BOC Secret Treaties two-fer or something from Led Zep.) You can never go wrong with some B.O.C
Thanks for the suggestions! NP! Glad to help. I'll toss a few more your way if you don't get much in the way of help. Looking forward to hearing the first show!

^Do you even bother reading the OP before you post? Drew is preparing to do a radio show where he seeks to enlighten his listeners with progressive music found in the different subs. He is merely asking us for recs from each of em to cover as much ground as possible. That's how I read it anyway, but you are of course free to believe whatever you want.

Great idea, Drew! I'll start with some of my favourite subgenres:
Canterbury - Winter Wine (Caravan) In my top 5. Was thinking Egg, Khan or another Caravan song, as well. Eclectic - Starless (King Crimson - what else?) Top 3, for sure! Heavy Prog - Death Walks Behind You (Atomic Rooster) Zeuhl - Hortz Fur Dëhn Štekëhn Ẁešt (Magma) Definitely!
I'll have to think about the other genres, especially Crossover, Prog Folk and Jazz Rock, which have very diverse manifestations. As you asked for songs from the original prog era, I left anything modern out.
I had three of the four you suggest on my short lists. I don't know Atomic Rooster. I'll have to give it a listen.

hmmm. tossing off a few here for the pleasure of it...
RPI? - oh yeah.. THIS one. If one is inclined to be hooked.. this one will do it.
Canterbury? I agree darling. Caravan for sure. I"m partial to this one. If only to be able to sing 'on a trip through Picadilly' in ones best attempt at singing with those loveable accents those brits have.
heavy prog? for shame. Though I suppose if I hadn't LOST the frickin album you would have remembered to suggest THE heavy prog track of all time. MASSIVE.. CRUSHING.. COWBELL!!! the sh*t!!!

Hey, Gang!
I've finally gotten up the guts and permission to do my own radio show ("Prog Is Alive!" on WDRT community radio in Viroqua, Wisconsin, 91.9 FM or wdrt.org on the Internet, broadcasting live Sunday nights from 10:00 PM to 12:00 Midnight Central Standard Time [now on Daylight Savings Time]). My intention is to bring awareness to the amazing "progressive rock music" being created in this, the 21st Century, but I will also be referencing the past masters and classics from the past--from the "classic" period of Prog, 1966-80.
I am hoping to count on some of you for some advice and/or recommendations from time to time. Right now I'm looking for suggestions for individual songs from the 60s/70s that epitomize each of the sub-genres.For example, what one song do you think best represents the Canterbury Scene; which one song best represents Krautrock; which one song in your opinion is the best example from Prog Folk to help educate a sometimes ignorant public, etc. My intention is to use one individual song to help prep the listener for the modern music from that sub-genre that I am excited to share with them.
Any and all help for any of these sub-genres will be greatly appreciated!
