Anyway!

I need some more prog rock bands! Lots more! Maybe with styles similar to Yes and Rush, maybe not... I'll suggest anything to him.

Also, jazz influences are welcome and would be well received, since he is basically a jazz musician who plays rock... hence, enjoying prog. So yeah.

Thanks ahead of time.
The likes of Soft Machine, Magma, Can, Matching Mole, Gong and National Health should appeal to him.

Also, more free-form improv stuff like AMM?

Firstly, That list gives me a massive erection.

Secondly, I'd start with Can, and Ege Bamyasi. Firstly, like Yes, and Rush it's really accessible. But it's much more variant, and easy-going than both. Plus, it might introduce him to Soft Machine's Second, and Third. Second is quite wonderful, surprisingly poppy, beautiful piano centered rock music, and Third is a fantastic example of excellent Jazz fusion.

If he can get into that, then I'd bring in Magma which may be some of the most dense, and overpowering music ever written by human(and kobaian) hands. Maybe introduce him to 1001 centigrades, which has a 28 minute opening track that throws everything, and the kitchen sink out. Ideal for any fan of prog.

Thirdly, AMM will probably get on your nerves more, but is amazing.

Give Chimp Spanner a try, I think your reaction will be extreme, one way or the other.
