Yeah, that really doesn't work. What was VH1's reasoning for them being on the list?

It's VH1. My 3 year old daughter knows more about progressive music than VH1. :-)

There are some heavy moments. Heart of the Sunrise and Gates of Delerium. But the people at VH1 probabley only know 90215, so that's out the question.

Well the mainstream media uses that term for most things in the 70's. ELP, Genesis, Yes, King Crimson...
 
Its easier than saying Prog-rock I guess...

Of course, my favorite mislabeling of a prog band was when Jethro Tull got a Grammy for "Best Heavy Metal Album."
 
LOL
Fire up the flux capacitor ! We're taking this Delorean through all four dimensions.

What is the future of prog ? Genesis reunion ? I'm not telling!That could upset the thyme/space continuum.

the reason yes are there is because the list supposedly culls bands from the hard rock, metal, punk, and classic rock (if that's even a genre) labels.
 
Yes are sometimes labeled as a Classic Rock band.  hence the reason they are there.

Of course YES is "hard rock". Hard for any rock band to be able to play much less duplicate.

They wouldn't dare do something like that. Uttering such a phrase would bring certain terror upon their establishment.

A wild guess: VH1 is a video channel, I'd say they base this on the opening guitar riff on "Owner Of A Lonely Heart".
 
I see their point. If you think about it because...
 
OK, I'm joking, just another media outlet trying to make a list to please viewers/readers and just showing how out of touch they really are.

I guess they're using "hard rock" as a generic term to encompass everything that isn't pop. Shows that they know!
