It really depends on how you want to classify your so-called "prog-lite".

Are you talking about bands that add progressive element to standard rock songs, along the lines of Foreplay/Longtime and Bohemian Rhapsody?

Or are you talking about bands like 80's Yes, 80's Genesis and the aforementioned Supertramp who are clearly progressive rock bands but add radio-friendly rock elements to their sound?

Or is it right in the middle at something like Achilles Last Stand, where it's equal parts progressive and rock?

Maybe having those parameters will help you.
