Well, Alan Parsons produced Pink Floyd to start with. There's prog credentials right there. Secondly, 1976's Tales Of Mystery & Imagination through 1982's Eye In The Sky are most definitely progressive albums in a lot of ways. They're all conceptual, feature longer songs and a fair amount of experimental pieces mixed in with the poppier fare. Hence why APP often got labeled as "progressive pop" during their heyday.
