For one, I don't know too many prog fans who discriminate against prog thats not very complex or are that anal about technical skill.
I mean, you can't possibly be that closed minded if you get into something like prog in the first place. A genre many people hate for finding it inaccessible. For one prog bands draw inspiration from just about any genre you could think of. And more importantly prog is very broad, there are many prog bands who are at opposite ends of the sonic spectrum.
Take many of the most popular prog bands of the 70s, everyone from Yes to Hawkwind to Gentle Giant to Caravan. All these bands had a sound that was completely unique from the other and from any band that came before them.
