'tis tricky btn.

I can only think of groups pre-1970 using a sitar. It was used by the Pretty Things on the classic 'S.F.Sorrow' album and The Moody Blues used it on a couple of albums released around the same time. Steve Howe uses what sounds like a sitar on both 'To Be Over' (from 'Relayer') and on a couple of tracks from his 'Beginnings' album. However, I forget the name of the instrument used but it isn't a sitar ...

Dee - I was just going to correct myself - there's a track on the Cluster/Eno disc with Sitar called - One.  But there aren't many more I could think of (apart from the Beatles or Stones).  There is an instrumental group from the Netherlands called Flairk that use the Sitar - not exactly Prog, but very close - all other groups I know would fall into the jazz rhelm (Oregon, Shankar, Jan Garbarek).
Love the sound of it (in small doses!) though! Wink

Wow...I just remembered I Know What I Like from Selling England By the Pound  by Genesis. Very prominent Sitar (played by Mike Rutherford I believe)  Smiley

Hmmm ... I know it sounds like a sitar but I'm not entirely convinced it is a sitar being played on 'I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)'. I have a funny feeling it's the same instrument that Steve Howe uses from time to time (a 'guitar harp' ??). I'll investigate and come back to everyone on this. Roll Eyes

In the meantime, how about this titbit regarding 'I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)' ...

"This was written for a Genesis' roadie from 1971-1973. His name was Jacob Finster, and he could never hold jobs - he was a lawn mower, a pawn store clerk and a cashier. By the time he died, he worked in a doughnut shop where he overdosed on heroin. This song struck a chord with adolescents struggling with their future and living in the middle of doubt."

Speaking of I Know What I Like - have you heard the Platinum Collecton remasters of the Gabriel era Genesis - incredible sound - strikingly superior to the previous remasters!!! Cheesy
