    • Happy the Man, ‘Happy the Man’ (1977) Formed in a James Madison University dorm room, Washington, D.C.- based Happy the Man recorded three venerated, mostly instrumental prog albums in the late 1970s, striking a seductive middle ground between sax-driven jazz-fusion lunacy (circa Zappa's One Size Fits All) and synth-heavy meditative twittering.
    • Ruins, ‘Hyderomastgroningem’ (1995) Beaming down from the far reaches of the prog-rock galaxy, this Japanese drums and bass duo slam together mathematically improbable meters and dissonant blasts of rhythm with nonsense wails or demonic growls.
    • FM, ‘Black Noise’ (1977) Superficially, Toronto-based FM had a lot working against them: Aside from Rush, Canada was never a prog hotbed, and the band released its debut album in 1977, as many of the genre's originators were fading.
    • Crack the Sky, ‘Crack the Sky’ (1975) American rockers aren't known for their prog ambitions, and the bands that did push the boundaries usually slipped through the commercial cracks.
    • Yes, "Close to the Edge" From: Close to the Edge(1972) How did Yes do this? Seriously? Even beyond the vast emotional impact of "Close to the Edge," this 19-minute rock symphony is a marvel of construction — like any towering skyscraper or suspension bridge.
    • Genesis, "Supper's Ready" From: Foxtrot(1972) It's a guaranteed eternal perfect prog-rock song. But it's also demented: Peter Gabriel delightfully inscrutable text nods to Egyptian pharaohs, Christian theology, Greek mythology, "Winston Churchill dressed in drag" and shadowy, supernatural beings; meanwhile, the band cooks up everything from layered 12-strings to treated pianos to carnivalesque pop hooks — and somehow it all hangs together, adding up to a 23-minute spectacle longer than most sitcom episodes.
    • King Crimson, "21st Century Schizoid Man" From: In the Court of the Crimson King(1969) We'll all be debating "the first prog song" until we're dead, but it's hard to argue against "21st Century Schizoid Man."
    • Queen, "Bohemian Rhapsody" From: A Night at the Opera(1975) Queen are one of those classic fringe-prog bands. A good portion of their early work fits the bill of grandiosity — on the other hand, no one's mistaking "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" for a Yes tune.

    • The Human Equation - Ayreon. from The Human Equation (2004, InsideOut) A full-blown 102-minute prog metal symphony with an all-star cast including Devin Townsend and Heather Findlay, The Human Equation is also an immersive, elaborate psychodrama with a really skewed sci-fi twist.
    • The Four Horsemen - Aphrodite’s Child. from 666 (Vertigo, 1972) The Greek myths’ epic album 666 was inspired by Sgt. Pepper, Tommy and the apocalypse.
    • The Light - Spock’s Beard. from The Light (1995, Metal Blade) Fifteen minutes of wildly melodic symphonic prog, the first track on the first Spock’s Beard album went gleefully against the mid-90s plod rock grain and established a true starting point for prog’s 21st-century resurgence.
    • Lucky Man - Emerson, Lake & Palmer. from Emerson, Lake And Palmer (Island, 1970) Lake recorded the bittersweet folky ballad alone; Emerson returned from the pub and whacked that enormous Moog solo over the end.
