@Shredmeister: Genres like progressive vary so much from person to person that whatever you think it is, is correct. On the other hand something like Katy Perry would really only be thought of as pop.

The genre was about guys whose playing styles would lean toward as many influences as possible.

Prog is about more than what scales the band uses. The 15-minute songs, the double LP albums, the concept albums, long instrumentals, the distancing from verse/chorus/verse structures, that is the essence of Prog. So Pink Floydd are indeed prog, albeit with some mainstream rock thrown in.
