I always have a lot of time for Salem Hill...

This guy's pretty good too; another one-man band.

Thank you, this was great discovery. I listened their Live album "Live Catatonia". I liked it a lot. Singer has very pleasant voice and the structures of the songs were very smooth. The songs were nice and easy to listen to for the first time, but I think they will get even better with new listening times.
I added their song Awake to my playlist. It was maybe my favorite and I found a good spot for it from my playlist.

Glad to help. Do you know Mystery?

They're probably not lesser known anymore, but Coheed and Cambria have some solid music out there. They have a new album coming out in May. Their previous release The Unheavenly Creatures, it's easily my favourite of their discography.

We meet again! I've heard some C&C but not enough yet to form an opinion about them. Are they prog? I suppose they are, but I think they're more almost in the prog metal side of things really, from what I've heard to date.

Coheed, their albums (all but one) are based on a comic book series written by the singer in the band, Claudio Sanchez. I sometimes wonder what the word progressive means these days. I think they count.

If you're going to check them out, start with their latest works first. I find they're better than the earlier stuff. I discovered them through the game Rock Band. Welcome Home was my favourite song in the game. I'll be damned if I could play it though!

You would call Pink Floyd a lesser-known prog band?????

I forgot the greatest prog band nobody knows.

Something tells me you're correct. I've no idea who that band is.
