I am wondering what is and what is not progressive rock.

Say, Oceansize could be progressive rock, but they themselves hate this tag, so they say they're not.. are TOOL progressive? Porcupine Tree? I always get lost what actually IS progressive rock, cause I listened to many albums where bands say they're progressive, but actually there's nothing progressive there at all.
I am puzzled.

i remember black sabbath quoting a band called gentle giant who they thought were the best prog band out back in the day, i used to have a song from them, it was OK

Oceansize, tool, and porcupine tree aren't exactly the prog stereotype, but their song structures are different from your standard verse/chorus setup which could be seen as a prog element.

i am pretty much into krautrock, sounds way more creative than all other 70s prog, including jazz fusion and all

i love prog. Rush, tool, mars volta, mastodon (on the last and i hear next album), gojira, devin townsends solo albums. i know i got more on my ipod but those are my favs. mostly metal with prog influences now that i look at that list.

4th eye introduced me to a great Finnish band a few years ago called Kingston Wall, i don't have anything to upload i'm afraid i only got them on cd, but if you get the chance you should check them out.

i've heard some years ago that SOAD was progressive rock... but i have my doubts, would they fit in that category?

Yes yes, Deftones, yes yes, heavy metal, yes yes, nü metal, yes yes, fucking queer, yes yes...

I introduced Kingston Wall to my girlfriend and now she's absolutely in love with the band. I'm almost left second... :(

I could probably upload some stuff later when/if I have time.

i would say godspeed you black emporer and similar spin offs like explosions in the sky should be considered as prog rock, i mean gybe starts with like a hobo playing the spoons and ends up with a 40 piece orchestra by the end, that's progressive.
