They are just prog for two different types of people.

DT is for the angsty and alienated teens.

Floyd is for the pretentious and alienated teens.

Come on, you have to admit prog wouldn't have its -meager- popularity if it wasn't for 'the other kids.' This also goes for metal and indie (however taking the extremes of the above archetypes).
Punk and rock don't count because they are marshaled by pop-style exploitation, so they fall loosely in that category.

And just to let you know, I am not biased on this issue at all... I hate both bands equally.
