It's not the term progressive so much as the combination of the terms progressive and rock. Arvo Pärt might be the most progressive classical music ever, but if it doesn't fall somehow under "rock" I don't want to see it here. And yes, I don't necessarily reflect the opinions of the station managment.

Sorry, I didn't mean to be intentionally rude, but I get short when we rehash old ground. Since you brought up the fact that you are a newbie, I'll use this as an excuse to state a simple frustration that happens at every message board on the net - newcomers bringing up new threads to topics that have been discussed a lot in the past. There are at least six threads about classical on AM already, and probably four of them were started by newbie's who immediately prefaced their post with "hey, let's look at the similarities of prog and classical" reasoning. Yes, there's a difference here with it being a particular composer suggestion, but it's the same thing over again.
