Music that directly or indirectly evolved from blues and R&B.

True, yet oddly enough Prog is still accepted as being a kind of Rock (hence "prog rock"), even though it shares more in common with Classical and Jazz, but it did envolve from Psychedelic Rock which (in part) evolved from R&B, so that might be the reason.

I only listen to you talk when I want to hear Emo performed acapella.

Definitely. Prog shares so many characteristics with psychedelic rock.

Unfortunately many people tend to forget about psychedelic rock since it basically died out, and it's hard to find anything but the most popular psychedelia.

But like you said, prog does owe a hell of a lot to classical and jazz as well.
