recommend ONE prog track to a non prog fan...
er... that's it really.
or if you're feeling generous say why you're recommending that particular one...
then i'll listen (depending on how many there are) .... and decide once and for all if i can enjoy it or not.
thanks

Try this: Caravan doing "The Dog The Dog He's At It Again"
Caveat: this is a fine prog song, but I'm at work, so I can't tell if the clip is decent quality.

You'd pay big bucks to know what you really think.

King Crimson - 'One More Red Nightmare' from
Looking back to the band's first, seminal album, the song draws on the blueprint of '21st Century Schizoid Man', it also looks forward to the nineties and beyond - apparently it was one of Kurt Cobain's favourite albums.
Robust and simply brilliant.
