Look, I've got just what this thread needs, but I don't know how to post photos here. I urge you check out the two Ian Anderson photos at

Yeah, it's seemingly oxymoronic...but I couldn't help thinking that it does exist when I heard "Long Distance Runaround" on the radio. It's like a meat-and-potatoes prog song (complete with crunchy rickenbacker bass, oddball time signatures, instrumental wankerism- er, I mean prowess) grafted onto a Graham Nash "Our House"-style pure pop tune.John Jeffers wrote:it occurs to me that there is no such thing as "prog pop". Prog rock, sure. But prog pop? Those words are mutually exclusive.
I'd mentioned that I could envision the Shins covering this...Actually it'd be more in Mommyheads territory if they were still around. They could pull off the complex parts. Those dudes were Players. They could convincingly branch into Jam-bandism when they cared to.

porcupine tree has the occasional poppy moment, although they're usually more crimson-style prog.
even broken social scene is kinda proggy in a way... lotsa odd-meter stuff.
and let's not forget the end of Blondie's "heart of glass" - there's that one bar of 7 during the melody interlude. PROG AS HELL.
the police might be considered "progressive" in some circles.

Queen.
I mean, come on, "Bohemian Rhapsody?"
Piano verses, choral/orchestral middle movement, hard rock outro?
180 tracks of vocals?
From a record called "A Night at the Opera?"
Total prog.
