Think of a classical piece and imagine it played by a modern day rock band, I think that would fit into the progressive genre quite nicely!
That's what I think anyway, haha.

I very much agree with you on this, especially the shifts during the song, creating moods wherever the music leads you. I see progressive rock as music with incredible depth, instead of the, pardon my saying, 'shallow' songs most bands play nowadays

most songs are about one particular emotion or experience, while progressive rock often lets you experience the whole sensation, for instance: anger, sorrow, grief and happiness all in one song, and then I say: that's complete
