You're spot on about Wyatt. He's a progressive in the literal sense of the word, in that he's music's always evolvng, and he's resolutely avoided living off his past (whilst never disowning it entirely). Peter Hamill is like that too.

Although I personally don't like his music, I think Rick Wakeman showed some humour by appearing in Dictionary Corner on "Countdown". The Cardiacs are quite funny too.

I do think prog has a higher proportion of unintentionally hilarious music than most genres, though, by virtue of the fact that a lot of it does take itself way too seriously.
