Who are the most un prog bands/artists you like?

[Mike413]

What groups do you like or listen to do you consider to be the most un prog or anti prog? I don't own stuff by many of these groups/artists but here's a few for me:


The Clash
Bruce Springsteen
CCR
The Eagles
Rolling Stones
John Mellencamp
The Ramones
Sex Pistols
Lynyrd Skynyrd (and even they used a mellotron on free bird)
The Who(although some is very proggy)
AC/DC
Aerosmith
Bad Company
Nirvana (and lots of other 90's rock)

lots of other stuff too I'm sure

I know many if not most of you wouldn't be caught dead listening to most of the stuff I listed but my taste is very eclectic and I like a whole lot of stuff besides just prog. :)

Thanks Keithie,
Barry Manilow has become a symbol of un-coolness, but the man does have a great voice.
You've given me the courage to admit that I'm a big George Strait fan. (I am from Texas.)
