This is true, however in the seventies (and late sixties) it was called progressive because the musicians were doing something that really hadn't been done before in rock, like using new instruments, going beyond the structured three-minute-single song format, composing long instrumentals, and progressing beyond what was seen as the norm, or accepted format of the time. Now, these days, yeah, it seems silly to describe it as progressive rock, but then, some bands who are labelled as nu-metal are about as new as an episode of Friends, so labels stick and there's nothing much you can do about it really.
