Hendrix (though he had some Prog-y moments)
U2
Talking Heads (again with Prog-y moments)
Cameo
XTC (again...)
Symph, Fusion, Canterbury, Afro Prog, Avant Prog, Sapcerock and Zeuhl all went in the other thread
Why is it whenever someone mentions an artist that was clearly progressive (yet not the Symph weenie definition of Prog) do certain people feel compelled to snort "thats not Prog" like a whiny 5th grader?

Black Sabbath
Nick Drake
John Coltrane

High Llamas
Stereolab (mid period)
A whole lot of good ones, on a different day I might include later Beach Boys, Steely Dan, The Honey Trees, some jazz like Miles although I kind of a hard time separating a lot of jazz from prog, viewing it as progressive in its own right, Les Baxter, during his so called 'exotica' period, etc...
Hmmm. All of the above are proggy-ish.
U2
REM
Al Stewart
Gary Numan
Tindersticks

Hmmm.
I won't name the beach Boys here because I already named them under Prog.
Joni Mitchell
Bob Lind
Simon & Garfunkel
Midnight Oil
Midnight Juggernauts
I didn't think too hard here - there are probably other contenders for top 5 if I look through my collection.
1) Spriguns / Spriguns of Tolgus / Mandy Morton & Spriguns / etc
2) Mellow Candle
3) Steeleye Span
4) Comus
5) Shirley Collins
2-5 subject to some variation.
^^^ I have no clue what that means. ^^^
How about:
Prefab Sprout
Brian Wilson/Beach Boys
Explorers' Club (the one that sounds like the Beach Boys)
XTC
The Sundays
Leaving aside jazz it's probably Zeppelin, the Who, Clapton, Bowie and Santana.
Yes! Bad Brains!!! Love DC Hardcore!! Maybe Minor Threat, Government Issue, Scream and Marginal Man as well.
The Prog Corner
Doors
Beatles
Free
Led Zeppelin
Cream

The Sensational Alex Harvey Band
The B-52's
