A question about prog-related

There is a slight difference: You may have noted that I talked about line-up. A solo artist's line-up of an album does not necessarily consist mostly of prog musicians. And that's what the question is about.

From the official definition: "3) Members of important progressive rock bands - Although most of the recorded solo output of artists like Greg Lake and David Gilmour falls more in a mainstream rock style, their contributions to progressive rock in their respective bands insures them a place in our prog-related genre."

On the other hand we have Asia in the database.

Also my question was NOT about solo albums of members of prog bands.

I think one could make a case for that. The question is: does "prog-related" refer to the music or the musicians?
