I'm not saying they're not.
I only mentioned Prog & Jazz because everybody else seemed to keep mentioning them as something that can compare to classical because of it's complexity or whatever.
I personally don't think you need to go to something as complex or technical as that to prove modern music is just as good as classical. The simplest of pop songs will do just as well.
