What do you suggest would be some good examples of being progressive without technicality?

I was listening to Drama by Yes today from 1980 and realized that their best songs on the album were basically throwbacks to their original 70s style and sound.

Black Sabbath I don't think has ever really been considered as being a progressive rock band, but I think they more than demonstrated that they could write and produce actual progressive music with songs like Air Dance from their Never Say Die album.
