Confirmed Bachelors: the dramedy hit of 1883...
Neil Diamond - Be
I love that song
I remember Frank Marino once saying that back in the early 70's, Mahogany Rush were considered "progressive rock", but then added that, now "progressive rock" means a very specific type of music, and I think he used the examples of Yes and King Crimson. I guess his point being, he wasn't sure what to call his music, since apparently it's no longer "progressive rock".
To my ears, Traffic is "prog" right from their first album
i'll watch this ASAP, thx
What album is that Weller song from, please?
As for H&O, they copied Steely & Dan
Mahogany Rush's 70's output can be considered "prog" in the wider sense of the word, IMHO
certainly the first 3 or 4, but as far as TalesOf The Unexpected as well.

^What's 'prog' about that? Pure blues rock.
Couldn't resist!
If that orchestration at the end isn't magical, not sure what is.

Talking about Paul McCartney's bass playing, I think he certainly would have made a great funk bassist. Funk music is at least as "difficult to play" as progressive rock is. Getting a tight groove to happen the way you hear on the records of Chic, The Ohio Players or Heatwave is a lot harder than it sounds. Playing a song like Good Times and making it sound as good as the record I imagine is at least as labor intensive as playing something like the stop/start section of 21st Century Schizoid Man or some of those Zappa charts. I think Sir Paul demonstrated on Goodnight Tonight that he was up the challenge, though. And he had cool bass lines on other songs too, like Silly Love Songs.
And he was a hotshot of a guitarist too. It's now a well known fact that's him playing the solo on Taxman (George even said so), the intro of Sgt Pepper it/himself, and of course he, George and John traded solos on The End.

Not Jan & Dean?
Once again 12 pages proving we pretty much ALL don't agree on exactly what "Prog" is...
If someone could make a thread about "Identifying the elements that define Prog music" that would certainly be a start! Not sure would agree though, cause they is always gonna be a contingency the will swear the Beach Boys, Rush and the Beatles were Prog...lol
Is this Prog? It is long, has some strings and synth...

Nits - Torni (can't find it on YouTube, only released on a free CD-single)
Nits - Hjuvi (alas I could only find some parts of it)
A fair amount of what's been posted in this thread has been included in PA's DB under prog-related
Well not that I'm a huge fan of SE, their first four (70's) albums contain many proggy momments, including some Genesis clone tracks.
But this track is from the 80's and TBH, I think the symphonic intro has been added to the song for the videoclip
