If you're a fan of early Queen, (first four albums) then you'd likely enjoy some stuff with likely interesting song structure. I'd say you'd dig "Aqualung" by Jethro Tull, "A Quick One (While He's Away)" by The Who, and maybe "Brave New World" by Iron Maiden.

Based on your other selections, I'd recommend:

"Renegade," and "The Grand Illusion" by Styx
"The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway" by Genesis
"I'm Free (Heaven Helps the Man)" by Kenny Loggins
"I Don't Believe In Love" by Queensryche
"Only Dreaming Now" by The Beau Brummels
"I Had Too Much To Dream Last Night" by The Electric Prunes

And definitely check out:
Hawkwind
Rush
King Crimson
Blue Oyster Cult
Fairport Convention
Soft Machine
Gong
Henry Cow
Moby Grape
Gentle Giant
Focus
Traffic
Yes
Country Joe and the Fish
The Mamas and the Papas
The Zombies
Strawberry Alarm Clock
Donovan...

the list goes on.
