I like folk music a lot, including Pentangle, but when it restricts itself mostly to traditional forms it should not be counted as Progressive.  

Why is hip hop not a crime? When I go to a museum and throw some acid at a painting of, let's say, Picasso, I'll be locked up in jail for destroying a work of art. Hip hop is doing the same thing, but they're doing it with sound instead of something visual. But still the deed is the same, they're destroying works of art.
