As far as I'm concerned there is Progressive Rock (with a capital P) and this is a particular genre of music which is mainly the "classic" bands of the 70s (we all know who the main ones are) and also extends to a number of current bands such as Spock's Beard. There is also progressive music (small P) which applies to any band who are pushing out the boundaries.  This would include such bands as GYBE, Thinking Plague, who I wouldn't personally call "prog".
I usually think of it like this - if a major record shop such as HMV had such a thing as (God forbid) a progressive rock section, which bands would they include? Yes, Genesis, ELP, Marillion - yes. Jazz-fusion bands - no. Post-rock - probably not.
 
I agree with you on this.
 
I think there is a specific prog genre which you speak of. This maninly consists of the 70s symph prog/art rock stuff. Now there are also bands whose genre wouldn't be considered prog, but aspects of their music are still progressive. For example, like you said, I wouldn't call Godspeed a prog band, but they're more of a progressive post-rock band. They don't make "prog", but the music they do make (post-roc) has many progressive qualities.

I have Pat Benatar albums, but I draw the line at Barbara Streisand.

Based on that premise that all my albums are prog, I also have a Paula Abdul and a couple of Samantha Fox CDs that snuck into my collection in a moment of weakness.  Progressive bubblegum???

Yeah, well I don't live on prog alone, but I prefer to supplement it with other stuff. Tongue

Nah, I think he's confusing progressive rock with progressive rock, the differences are subtle, but any fan of progressive rock can tell them apart without even hearing the music.

Good point.  If you didn't know that it was called Prog or progressive, what would you call it?  Why don't we all just enjoy the music and not worry too much about what label to attach!
