No, they may not necessarily be as such (being a RIO band) but they're still considered as part of the prog scene, and you can't say you hate prog but separate one or more bands out of it, calling them something else because it either doesn't fit with your narrative or, indeed, calls bull**** on it and shows it up to be the full-of-holes argument it is.

Kinda like someone who doesn't like Abacab the best Prog album of the 80s. Or doesn't like ELP the band that launched Prog. Or someone who gives the British band Asia only three cookies, when they deserve like ten cookies, maybe twelve cookies.
Yeah, when I saw Henry Cow I was like 'oh, they gotta be the Prefab Sprout of Prog.' I gave a listen for a few seconds and I was like 'called it.' They are no where near the real second wave Prog band Asia from Rapid City. Now that band encapsulates Prog and you don't even give them a single cookie.
