Has the ever been a Christian band that's all instrumental? That'd be funny.
Anima Mundi- Endless Star
Ars Nova- Succubus
Morte Macabre- Symphonic Holocaust
Nordagust- Forcing
Blezqi Zatsaz- The Gate of Ixtlan
David Minasian- Storming the Castle
Colin Mold- Storm Dance
IQ- 1312 Overture
Hostsonaten- Prologue
Quaterna Requiem- Preludium
Herbie Hancock - Hornets
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?

“Remember, if it doesn't say "Cuneiform," it's not prog!” - THE Jed Levin
Any time any one speaks to me about any musical project, the one absolute given is "it will not make big money". [tip of the hat to HK]
"Death to false 'support the scene' prog!"
please add 'imo' wherever you like, to avoid offending those easily offended.

A gentleman is defined as someone who knows how to play the accordion, and doesn't.
Genesis - After the Ordeal (the track that got me irrevocably hooked on Genesis)
Focus - Le Clochard
Porcupine Tree - Burning Sky
Tony Banks - Forever Morning, Waters of Lethe, and more...
David Gilmour - Castellorizon
Here's ten of my favorites;

2. "YYZ"-Rush
3. "Birds Of Fire"-Mahavishnu Orchestra
4. "The Boys In The Band"-Gentle Giant
5. "The Fish"-Yes
6. "After The Ordeal"-Genesis
7. "The Game Maker"-Return To Forever
8. "Larks' Tongues In Aspic (Parts 1 & 2)"-King Crimson
9. "The Sahara Of Snow (Parts 1 & 2)"-Bill Bruford
10. "We Are Not Alone"-Frank Zappa
I'll stay away from JR/F and stick to more conventional prog and bands that are mostly instrumental (as Avant-prog)
(No order of preferance, but Canadian bands get premiership in this dept.)
Maneige - Saxinette and Clarophone
Harmonium - Histoire Sans Parole
FM - Black Noise
Rush- La Villa Strangiato
Genesis - After the Ordeal or Los Endos
Steve Hackett - Clocks, the Angel of Mons
King Crimson - Battle Of The Glass Tears
Pink Floyd - AHM (the choirs are an instruments, much more than the vocals are one in One Of These Days)
Deep Purple - And The address
Anekdoten - Karelia
and...
Univers Zero - Présage (ok, so much for my avant-prog limit)
Focus - Anonymous (anyone of the three) (OK, so much for my mainly-instrumental bands limitation)
Nucleus - We'll Talk About It Later (OK, so much for my JR/F limit)

my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicts to complete nutcases.
There's a Christian jazz fusion band called Koinonia

Short and sweet, this is a real stormer from Tull
"Always ready with the ray of sunshine"
Ozrix have quite a few

Leaving the obvious aside, try these:
Monsoon - Foxtrot
Excalibur - Pendragon
Holding Your Breath - Jadis
The Island - Moonrise
Laid Low - IQ
Venus - Everon
Springsong - Ephemeral Son
Prism - Ephemeral Son
Elea - Arena
Expecting Snow - Big Big Train
Not making a full list right now, but this would be somewhere near the top:
Camel’s “Lunar Sea” and Finch’s “Register Magister” would probably be on that list, too.
