Why if many of the British bands listed weren't associated with the progressive rock movement when they were actually performing/recording, do they become prog some 30 years later? Why has this site got to be so revisionist to its own detriment?

Indeed!

The fact is that most of our members weren't born then or at an age where they were aware of the scene.That said, this site has cast its net so wide that under the current "Zeitgeist" any band that ever had a notion to add some complexity or innovation to its music, or just threw in some keyboards, is now deemed "progressive rock". For a band to be accepted under the NON-PROG classifications of "Prog-Related" or "Proto-Prog" they must have OBVIOUSLY influenced or been influenced by the Prog Rock movement, not merely to have aspired towards progressive music form.
