Anything come to mind?
Off the top of my head:
Iron Maiden - Somewhere in Time
Sound of Contact - Dimensionnaut
Edison's Children - A Million Miles Away (I Wish I Had a Time Machine)
^ This features Marillion's Pete Trewavas, and was somehow a hit single!
Steve Miller - Fly Like an Eagle (earlier, live versions a kinda proggy, IMO)
Spock's Beard - Bennett Built a Time Machine
Does this count? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRc0yaMW7Mw
Ange: the last couple of songs of Au dela du delire (strictly speaking re-incarnation, but with a continuity of memory)
Dream Theater: "The Killing Hand"
Eloy: Power and the Passion, Dawn partially as well.
Ekseption: Beggar Julia's Time Trip
Kayak: "Journey Through Time"
Madison Dyke: "Zeitmaschine"
Magma: "De Futura" (supposedly about a journey through time to help perceive Orks)
Nimbus: the first side of Obus (more or less).

Earth & Fire: To The World Of The Future
"Traveller In Time" - Uriah Heep
We're trying to build a monument to show that we were here
It won't be visible through the air
And there won't be any shade to cool the monument to prove that we were here. - Gene Parsons, 1973
Argue amongst yourselves about whether Queen was prog at the time '39 was released; whatever the case, an astrophysicist wrote the song about the time dilation effect in Einstein's special theory of relativity.

Good point. The idea of time travel is also strongly present in the song "Exode" in the middle of the album.Originally Posted by Kai
Wow, no one's said ELO's "Time" album yet. That has to be the most fun, in my opinion.
"Arf." -- Frank Zappa, "Beauty Knows No Pain" (live version)
The Cosmic Jokers - Gilles Zeitschiff
Do 10cc count? Old Mister Time. I'm sure there must be others, racking my brains.

You beat me to it. "Time" is a great often overlooked ELO album. In fact, it may even be my favorite album by them. It is a conceptual album of a man transported into the future. It did have the hit "Hold On Tight" on it, although that song is not particularly representative of the album iMO.
What about VDGG-Pioneers Over c?
HuGo"Very, very nice," said a man in the crowd,
When the golden voice appeared.
She was gold alright, but then so is rust.
"Such a shame about the beard."
Beggars Opera: “Time Machine”
Sadistic Mika Band: “Time machine ni onegai”
In the first verse, she dreams of travelling back to the Jurassic period to watch a live Tyrannosaurus Rex and handle live ammonites.
In the second, she imagines going back to 1930s Hollywood to ride around in a Duesenberg and meet Humphrey Bogart.
In the third, she fantasizes about going back to 16th Century Paris to dance the waltz and meet Madame Pompadour.

Confirmed Bachelors: the dramedy hit of 1883...
AB's Kingdom Come's Journey album.
my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicts to complete nutcases.
Alan Parsons- The Time Machine (concept album)
Electric Light Orchestra- Time (concept album)
Really? Nobody's mentioned "One for the Vine" yet?
Cobra handling and cocaine use are a bad mix.
Hmm, I never thought of that, but I guess it is indeed about time travel, since the protagonist goes into a vicious cycle. I just thought of it as clever fantastic irony, the disbeliever becoming the leader he abhors.

I could never figure out what it was supposed to be about.
Confirmed Bachelors: the dramedy hit of 1883...
A soldier, disillusioned with his leader, deserts during a march and falls into a wormhole or something to arrive somewhere unspecified. The people who see him assume he's a messiah. The soldier denies it ("This can't go on, this will be all that I fled from") until he realizes the people need him as a leader ("They leave me no choice, I must lead them to glory"). He leads them on a march, but in the distance sees a deserting soldier who disappears as he runs away. The lyrics imply that they're the same people ("He thought he recognized him by his walk and by the way he fell") and the events are going in a circle.

Then there's the Colosseum song "The Time Machine," but it's mostly a drum solo.

Looking forward to my day in court.
