No. I was mentioning bands I like, that could be considered as a Jam Band, not both Prog and Jam Band. Though I did hear somewhere
8 Miles High is considered the first Prog song. So maybe the Byrds could be considered both a proto Prog & proto Jam Band.

This is a pretty good little paper.

I don't think a band has to be devoid of Blues influence to be Prog. David Gilmore's solos can be real Bluesly. There are other reasons why ABB may not be a Prog band. When it comes to how bands are classified into genres sometimes it comes down to location. Most bands that were eventually labeled Prog were middle class British bands. West Coast bands (during the 60's) like CCR The Byrds and the Grateful Dead took to extended solo jamming and they also took to American Roots music like Folk, Blues, Country etc.ABB were inbetween those West bands mentioned and Southern Rock (timewise and musical style).
