The UK live album Night After Night is great too.
The Nice(Keith Emerson’s earlier group)
Henry Cow/Fred Frith
Although I found their vocalist to be extremely annoying, they came up with some interesting material for a brief period, and Bill Bruford guested with them...

In addition to a lot of the old stalwarts from the 1970s already mentioned in this thread, I’ve been digging more recent work by:

- Thank You Scientist
- Birds And Buildings
- Battles
- The Pineapple Thief

Try Strawbs. The best two records are Hero and Heroine and Ghosts. Also. UK (Featuring Bill Bruford, John Wetton, Eddie Jobson and Alan Holdsworth).
This album is rather "pop," but the tones are wicked and the performances smokin'. And of course Wetton was Golden Tonsils, a true great.
For Reingold fans, check out 3rd Word Electric, more fusion-ey but still:
Frost*,....yes add the asterisk or you will get a different band. Jem Godfrey is apply named. he is influenced by Genesis, started in early 2000's and are currently back together. Occasionally you can see them at ROSfest in Virginia.
You cannot have experienced all that is todays Prog, until you sit with headphones playing their 25 minute Masterpiece "Milliontown".
Serious.

- Decendant from the Clovis culture. "Emitting that wonderful bass effect since 1970".
Some often overlooked:
Steve Hackett
Dennis Greenslade
And there’s always the bands from the Canterbury Scene in the late 60s, which is pretty much where it all began.
Here’s what’s likely the earliest example (or forerunner) of progrock - The Wilde Flowers:

I recommend listening to a streaming music program such as Pandora, Amazon Prime Music or any progressive rock internet channels like that. I discover a lot of new music, songs and bands that way. When I come across something I like I either download it or add it to my list to download later.
I’m surprised How much classic rock exist that is really good and I’m just now hearing it for the first time.
Sources like FM radio mostly play only the chart topper songs (top 100 lists) which is a very small sampling compared to how much was actually recorded over the years.
