| I voted no.
Bluntly and unequivocally.
NO!
They were a psychedelic rock band for the first three or four LPs then became a sort of psychedelic rock band for another couple of LPs then they became a kind of uniquely high-concept kind of rock band retaining certain psychedelic elements that could perhaps be defined as 'space rock' and then they finally became an op-rock band (as in operatic) with an idiosyncratic take on social commentary.

| If a band's albums can be made to fit The Wizard of Oz, they are Prog. _________________ |

| Anyone who sings a line about it being a spring clean for the May Queen is in a prog rock band, whether they admit it or not.

But Gollum, and the evil one
Crept up and slipped away with her
Her, her, yeah
Ain't nothing I can do, no
