No, crossover prog is exactly what it says: music from another genre that occasionally crosses over into prog territory. Like I said, many progheads will indeed sneer at such bands but that doesn't make them not prog. And as for "someone said so", well it's a forum: everyone will have their say, the same as here. That's hardly a definitive answer. If someone googled your post where you say ELO is not prog, they miss mine where I elaborate on that. You can't take the opinion of one person as being authoritative.
