The majority of their 70`s output is definately prog rock. Calling them heavy metal is so far off the the radar, despite the fact that their early 70`s material does fall into the hard rock camp.
What is technical rock?......Perhaps any band that knows how to play their instruments really well and and play complex songs. A description which fits prog rock/prog metal pretty well.
