These days, everything seems to be progressive, from Iron Maiden to modern indie bands. Music is also described as having 'progressive elements' or being 'prog-related'.
In my view, 'progressive', in the rock music context, is a noun, rather than a verb, to describe a musical style (which originally seemed to progress beyond the singer, guitars and drums format). Rick Wakeman said progressive rock, paradoxically, does not progress.
