From the second Pearls Before Swine (on ESP) album, Balaklava, "Ring Thing."

Looking forward to my day in court.
Steven (Welcome to My Nightmare, 1975) by Alice Cooper
Tori Amos - I Can't See New York (Scarlet's Walk)
Golden Earring - Are You Receiving Me (Moontan) - I guess some might consider this album prog
Its A Beautiful Day - White Bird (s/t)

Look, I'm a huge fan and I've heard their entire discog a few hundred times or so. Steely Dan were a lot of things and some of their work was obviously 'progressive', whilst other parts of it were 'jazz' and so on - but this is actually one case where an artist truly defies general classification. If anything, they were arguably the most perfectionist and coherently eclectic pop/rock band to ever assemble on any major scale - but this still doesn't render them a "prog" unit. And luckily so, I'd say.

Yeah, Stargazer was the first thing that crossed my mind.
The Prog Corner
I'm not a big Stones fan, but this song is special, and makes the album it's on (It's Only Rock and Roll) worth my purchase.
The Ballad of Dwight Fry - Alice Cooper. Of course, I love the rest of the album too, so its a winner all around.
This is the case with many of my "non-prog" albums. Bohemian Rhapsody is well worth the price of admission, but you get the rest of that incredible album for free.
I got nothin' :
...avoiding any implication that I have ever entertained a cognizant thought.

Steely Dan were vocally jazz-rock band, the best one; 90% of vocally jazz-rock in general sounds similar to pop, but it's not; even with singing, jazz-rock remains to be a part of progressive music.
E.g. Rikki Don't Lose That Number is their huge pop hit, but e.g. Genesis recorded pop song I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe) at their best (imo) album with Peter Gabriel and the song was a hit, King Crimson recorded pop song I Talk To The Wind, Caravan recorded Golf Girl, etc; pop indeed was one of ingredients of prog.
I like all of the Close To You album, but for this site, Carpenters' 'Another Song'...a full-on psychedelic finish on this one.
I suppose there's also their Klaatu 'Calling Occupants...' cover on Passage, Richard liked the Klaatu album and wanted to cover that song.
Same here. I bought this album a few months ago just for this track.
The funny thing is that I knew one of the guitar-theme's before from Mick Taylor's first solo-album, but it turned out to be a kind of revenge for him, because he wasn't credited enough on It's Only...
But it's not just the guitar-playing, also the Moog-melody is very proggy and reminded me of Paul Fishman's Absolute Elsewhere.
^I'm not fond of It's Only Rock N Roll as an album, but that's one of the highlights.
'Can You Hear The Music' from Goats' Head Soup is worth checking out. That Leslie-guitar is amazing!
Another one came to mind: Roy Harper - The Game (from HQ)

I blame Wynton, what was the question?
There are only 10 types of people in the World, those who understand binary and those that don't.
The second half of this has a bit of a Canterbury sound. (I see JJ88 just mentioned it.)

Quite often, when it comes to certain threads here, I'm reminded of this scene:
Astronomy (Secret Treaties, 1974) by Blue Öyster Cult
Flaming Telepaths (Secret Treaties, 1974) by Blue Öyster Cult
Subhuman (Secret Treaties, 1974) by Blue Öyster Cult
my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicts to complete nutcases.
From Goat's Head , I tend to retain Angie, Star Star and my fave TRS track ever : dooo dooo dooo (Heartbreaker)
And from It's Only, I retain the t/t and Dance Little Sister
That's why I like that Made In The Shade compilation so much. Never needed the Taylor-era albums
Just like with Hot Rocks, I never needed a Brian Jones-era album or with Sucking in the 70's, I never needed a Ron Wood era album
Just
Svet,
citing three tracks from the same album kinds of defeats the purpose of this thread

I heard this one and I knew I wanted the album
