Ha, Ernie (NoPride) - just realized that maybe you thought I meant my own self when I mentioned sElf (sElf is a band/project name for the work of the very brilliant and wonky poppy Matt Mahaffey) - unless you were joking...either way thanks for posting my stuff which I do agree often fits this category
Trojan Horse?

I wasn't joking and that is what I thought, Mike! I never heard of sELF and thought maybe you accidentally hit the "caps" key. But all's well that ends well and I know I opened the door (or at least cracked a window) to your music for one person who was not previously initiated (and perhaps others), so I guess you could call it a happy accident!
I thought it was odd that (the very humble) Mike was recommending his own (really rather wonderful) music, and naturally assumed it was an artist and / or group.

Maybe a bit more polished and a bit less weird than some of the acts mentioned here, but we are definitely pop with prog credentials. From our first album, a Brian Eno cover:
And from our second album, a non-ironic tribute to Elric:

Anyone know the band Jellyfish? Still gotta get this album but I love it

I love this album, every track is great! The talented Mr Skell did indeed send it to me to mix, it had become quite a daunting prospect for them to try and mix themselves, what with such a large group with so many instruments and lots of vocals, there was an awful lot to sort out and somehow put in that space between two speakers. Just the sort of thing I love doing when the songs as good as these. Everything in each track is there for a reason and the songs are excellent. Another of my favorite things I have had the pleasure to work upon ever.
The track posted in Morpheus' post above was Skell's reaction to having recently "discovered" Art Bears. I actually think it's not one of the best tracks on the album...which goes to show you how good the rest of them are!

Max Tundra is a great call and is most definitely wonky pop. His second album is my favourite.
He was last seen doing the production on this:
... which was unexpected to say the least

Another solid(ly) French band:

"[...] things that we never dreamed of doing in Crimson or in any band that I've been in," - Tony Levin speaking of SGM
Have to say they didn't impress me all that much at RIO, though I have subsequently changed my mind on a number of bands I've seen there before knowing their music.

A duo who did acouple of great albums back in the 70s should fit the bill nicely:
