Ok. This is my problem with you.
Marillion are not prog because they sound like a 70s prog band.
Radiohead are not prog because they don't sound like a 70s prog band.
Make up your mind.
There's a difference between prog and progressive, and if simply being a rock band that is progressive makes you prog, then Radiohead is undeniably prog.
But I think it's agreed upon by most people that prog is now associated with the original movement and post 70s bands who are considered prog are usually derived from that movement in some way.
Marillion are most certainly prog. It's ridiculous to say they're not a prog band because they
sound like one.
