They just consider it plain ol' rock. So there probably are alot more fans out there in the US they just dont realize they're fans yet .

Sounds like we're getting into that "what is prog" discussion again.

All of the bands above really rock as much as "prog". Look at the album "Going For the One". The title cut is a flat-out rocker, and Awaken is well, Awaken

I don't tend to classify it, I just listen.
