There's not really any doubt that progressive rock moved away from the Willie Dixon-esque lyrics and incorporated more Dylan-esque lyrics. I'd say Dylan had an influence on prog rock, he certainly progressed the music. But I don't expect anyone to listen to me, shall I quote Zappa on Dylan again?

I think progressive rock focuses more on the music than the lyrics. I've listened to a lot and I mean a LOT of prog bands that have incredible music but the lyrics are meh.
