I'm pretty sure they're contested as prog rock because of how cleanly they fit into the psychedelic rock genre. They're progressive but that doesn't seem to be a requirement for prog made after symphonic prog was established. All things considered, isn't it only the long songs and suites that connects them to prog standards?
