Personally, I don't think Pink Floyd or Can are prog either and I think
they generally made "tasteful" music. Neither had any sort of classical
pretensions and all that kind of nonsense.
I have to admit that in highschool there was a period when I enjoyed ELP's
"Trilogy". Dude, they do a version of Aaron Copland's "Hoedown" ! You
know, the tune from all those "beef is what's for dinner" commercials in
the US ?
Another group besides King Crimson who were undeniably prog and also made
very twisted and pretty bearable music were Henry Cow (Fred Frith's
old group).
I'd say the same about some of Zappa's stuff.
And actually, I think John Zorn's Naked City were the ultimate, listenable
and unpretentious (imo) prog band.
