[QUOTE=DallasBryan]whats the difference in Ry Cooder playing spooky
1920s jazz electrified and english progressive folk
rock groups playing spooky 1800s folk music
electrified?
QUOTE]
A thought: Bob Dylan shocked the folk world by playing electric but wasn't labelled prog. [Fairport Convention following that pathway, raiding Cecil Sharpe's British Isles folk song book, playing electric have not been called prog - ditto Steeleye Span]. Strawbs becoming less folky and electric were/are prog. Tull losing some of the blues with personnel changes due to Abrahams' departure, shift from a blues to a a sort of folky prog band. Al Stewart shifted from folky (e.g. Bedsitter Chronicles - has this even been release don CD?) to AOR (eventually, Year Of the Cat), but not thought of, at least in any big way, as proggie. Seems to reinforce the idea that we are arbituary with our categorisations.

I can't really see Pretty Hate Machine being prog. But I have mentioned
before that nin's The downward spiral and the fragile are prog IMO.

How did Ry Cooder's Jazz get in - after being recommended to this album by a guitarist who indirectly replaced Cooder in the Magic band, I was surprised about its dated sound. It gives me the impression of a polite, late 20's tearoom group ensemble wanting to play Scott Joplin and not get too heavy with the new fangled 'jazz' - prog rock never entered my mind as a definition. Give me RC's Crossroad OST - but why was the Steve Vai blues battle omitted?????????

Ive not heard any of those bands except Nine Inch Nails and although that album is pretty electronic I just can't see it as prog.
Now..NIN's Chris Vrenna's band 'Tweaker' which is less industrial and more electronic/synth is quite prog..

The one US Artist/Group I'd expect to see listed here on Progarchives is
Mike Keneally (& Beer for Dolphins)
Great music, definitely progressive.
got some extraordinary compositions, and IMO, the best lyrics ever...
"We live in a world
where every bot and girl
is taught to believe in a justifiable war"
but sorry, Dallas, I cannot call any those groups prog.
