Actually no, they are prog metal. They may not sound like any other band in that category but it dosen't change anything, prog metal is not defined by a distinctive sound since a lot of prog metal bands sound quite different from each other, if a band is both prog and metal, then viola, prog metal.
Anywho. Being a fan of pop music as well, gotta love prog with a dose of pop, unfortunately when people think "pop prog" they think Asia, but I'm thinking more along the lines of Caravan, BJH, 80s King Crimson, Spocks Beard and more recent stuff from Porcupine Tree. Thats the good stuff.
Theres also bands like Roxy Music and Super Furry Animals though weither they are truly prog is debatable, thats why I use the term Art Rock to describe bands that certainly make progressive music who could be considered prog, but could also fall into other genres of music.
