    Isn't there like a 16-minute version of the song "Sailing" where Christopher Cross completely cuts loose?

    Or did I dream it...?

    Good picks, Stargazer still makes the hairs on my arms stand up when it comes on.

    I often see Iron Maiden described as a Prog Metal band. Cracking good album.

    This version of "Madman Across the Water" with Mick Ronson on guitar made the price of Elton John's Rare Masters collection worth its price for me some 20+ years ago.

    As you opened with a Spanish themed album, I thought that you might be interested in this collaboration album by the Chieftains and Ry Cooder called San Particio, that focuses on a fusion, believe it or not, of Mexican or Tex Mex with Celtic, and it's a blast and has to heard to be believed. The San Patricios were Irish American soldiers that fought on the side of Mexicans during the Mexican American conflict that originated with the Texas Revolution 10 years earlier and made the saying "Remember the Alamo!" famous. All of those who survived were executed as American traitors. This album is a lot to take in as it's a musical blast as well as a history lesson few Americans, Irish or Mexicans really know about.

    "Inside Me Wants Out" and "Who Am I Talking To" also. A great album.

    I've noticed that a few of the choices proposed are simply from an album where most of the tracks are quite worthy for progheads ... not just one track that would get us to buy an album that we wouldn't even own.
    I'm thinking of Elton's Madman Across The Water album and track: if progheads must only own one album of his, that's the one (yeah, sure FFaF is really good, but it's almost alone on that album).
    Ditto Priest's for Sad Wings album: its a very even album, with plenty of great tracks

    As another example, if I give you Dave Crosby's Laughing on the If I could Only Remember My Name album, most of the other tracks are simply awesome as well.

    "Aja" by Steely Dan - who were NOT a 'prog' band of any sort whatsoever. Their entire output is recommended either way, of course.
    "Improvisation is not an excuse for musical laziness" - Fred Frith
    "[...] things that we never dreamed of doing in Crimson or in any band that I've been in," - Tony Levin speaking of SGM

    Steely Dan were progressive rock band, one of the best progressive rock bands actually, though not "symphonic" nor "avant".

    Some examples:
