There is a current band from England called Elbow that bills itself as "prog rock without the guitar solos." They are pretty decent.

I had a listen to them. Not bad and interesting. Reminds me a bit of The Police in their early days. Or even some of the first Peter Gabriel solo work.
But I'd rather listen to Coheed and Cambria. Bigger sound. But it looks as if drug abuse may do them in.

As an aside, are you familiar with Gavin Bryars' Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me"?
It was covered nicely by Jars of Clay.

That was the first thing I thought of when I heard Elbow's The Birds (Reprise) from the new Build a Rocket Boys! " album.
