I think the distinction, at least in my mind, is in the METHOD.
Prog rock produces increasingly complex and interesting ideas through application of musical theory and technique. Syd Barret produced increasingly complex and interesting ideas in a completely random, non-technical way, much like other psychedelic songwriters at the time. |

The rest of the Floyd though were very technical and got their hands on any and every piece of technology they could.

You just have to be careful with strict definitions, otherwise someone gets the impression that Boston is "progressive rock". |

That top 100 list has Styx and Primus on it. I'm not enough into arguing over what is and isn't prog rock to know for sure but those two wouldn't have been the first to spring to mind (the Beatles either).

I dunno. They aren't as legendary or as popular.
That said, they have two albums that are quite good (The Warning and Empire), a self-titled EP that is GREAT, and their album Operation: Mindcrime might just be the very best rock album of the 1980's. |

It's absolutely in the conversation, IMO. It's a near-flawless album.

three totally different bands with three totally different sounds. Sitting around a campfire after midnight is Pink Floyd time. Cruisin to a fishin trip is Rush time, workin out is Queensryche time.
