Well, I have to disagree here. I think Queen is far more progressive than Iron Maiden, who I don't find progressive at all. Black Sabbath is a consideration, as I agree there's some depth to their music. The problem is, I don't own any! There's some not so great reasons for that, and I'll likely amend that at some point soon. I may ask you for some more guidance on this when I'm ready, Rick.
One other point that may or may not apply here: whenever some music is prog mixed with another style, there's the possibility that the other style is so distinct that it's almost impossible for the prog to be apparent to my ears. Blues is a good example - I love the blues, but I have not really heard anything that I would call progressive blues, with the exception of two Scott Henderson albums I may add one of these days. Metal/hard rock is sort of the same way for me.
To go off on a Tangent, bell peppers have the same effect for me in food. I'm lukewarm on them, but whenever they're in a dish they're all I can taste, so I steer clear of them...
SO, that's a hell of a long winded "maybe"
