some pieces in the end are rather questionable (as always)
whether they really belong to progressive rock or something else??
though the upper majority are represented in forums as progarchives

however my definition is dynamic, kind of rhapsodic, longer pieces
in which rock guitar stuff use to be balanced
by orchestral or organ-based parts
