IMHO, it is difficult to place a lot of great music in the right musical category.
Here is my take on Progressive Rock. If the music has elements of The Blues, then it's not Progressive Rock.
I say this because Blues based Rock came first. Prog Rock was distinctly different, because it was Rock music that had more Classical and Jazz elements than did Rock Music. Progressive Rock was new, it was different, it was "progressive" because it broke the paradigm of blues based Rock and Roll and Rock Music.
Pink Floyd, Jimmy Hendrix, Jethro Tull used blues based guitar music for much of their sound. I would not consider them to be Prog Rock.
Some may like my thoughts, some may disagree.
What do you folks think of this idea of mine?

I think progressive rock is more album oriented than most other genres. You're meant to listen to the full album all the way through to get maximum enjoyment rather than just listening to a few random songs here and there. Singles can work, but not as good as other genres.
