No it's not. Beefheart made short songs that sounded like they were being performed by blues musicians on a sh*tload of acid. And that's basically all it was.
Mr. Bungle are one of the most diverse and eclectic bands of the 90s. They made long complex, layered songs in odd time and threw in everything but the kitchen sink in terms of the different styles they would employ in a single song. There's absolutely no other category you could put them into, prog is the only one that makes sense.
