In the context of rec.music.progressive, it mainly means 70's prog rock
and its descendants. Within this, it's fairly broad: I scan the group
occasionally looking for references to Hawkwind, Gong, and the Henry Cow
family. It also covers Italian, Brazilian, French and Swedish bands,
among others.
Personally, I agree with you that there is a lot more truly progressive
music out there. But labels are strange things...
Dave.
