No one can really agree on what prog rock is, some think it's a very specific sound, others think it's just a synonym for art rock.
I've always been somewhere in between, I think of it more as a philosophy than a specific sound, there's many different sounds in prog and there's plenty of prog bands that sound nothing alike and that's great, nowadays bands that go out of their way to be labeled as prog tend to be more derivative of other bands which is fine but the most progressive bands are the ones that don't f*ck with labels.
In that since Radiohead are a hell of a lot more progressive than Dream Theater, are they more "prog" though? Don't know don't care lol.
