What defines progressive music?

   I always looked at prog as 'progressing' past standard blues based
rock, into the areas of classical based rock, where you pick up many of
the characteristics that many associate with prog.  Epic
scale,  complex compositions, metric complexity.   A little
more than just progressing rock music, it was the direction it was
being progressed to.  That slight difference in progress, being
the difference in how groups like The Who and Robin Trower are viewed
differently than groups like King Crimson, ELP, and Yes.  My two
cents
