There is no definitive answer to that because PR is the most subjective of categories.
You can look through the exisiting list of PR bands and see artists who have 1, 2 or even 3 100% Prog albums along side others who have none.
It is difficult enough attempting to quantify Progness, so Prog-relatedness is even more of an impossible notion to quantify.
However, for me a PR artist must have at least one album where a degree of relatedness to prog can be shown (ie. I mean more than just one song...)

I am afraid the problem is just that... There are lots of bands or artists who have recorded a few prog songs, or even a whole album, though they are generally known for a rather different kind of musical output. There are lots of such cases in the history of Italian pop music, especially since in the Seventies prog was such a big phenomenon in my country.
Personally, I think the only solution to the problem would be allowing for single-album entries instead of having to add whole discographies which, in far too many cases, have nothing whatsoever to do with prog. However, it seems the idea is not very popular, so I'm afraid we'll keep on seeing threads like this one for a long, long time.

You have a point there, I know such a band as well. What was their name again... damn, can't find it. But they had some hits called "I can't dance", "Hold on my heart" and "Land of confusion".

outside of the occasional old geezer actually know  They are known to EVERYONE outside of us.. as AOR.

Thanks, that seems sensible. Judging at at least one prog-related album I think Toto would qualify, where Boston would not.
But perhaps we informally have other criteria as well, like being more reluctant on adding 'big' general rock bands (like the mentioned Boston, Toto, Journey, etc. etc.) compared to the band with the more obscure prog parts (Talk talk, The Church, Split Enz, etc. etc.)?

this is why I like Admin dealing with PR... i think it's a relief for Collabs to not carry this burden, and can settle things cleanly after a healthy debate

Not really. It's a bit like the Catholic Church and God. The Admin Team is The Pope and Cardinals and Max is God Similarily God has chosen not to speak for the last two thousand years...

So, what are we Collabs? just the general clergy? I'd like to get to be at least a bishop, seen as I can't be one in the real Catholic Church ..

Nice anology with the church because since my arrival on Prog Archives
early 2004, I consider myself as a 'progrock missionary'
