Agree with you Avian Bohemian Rhapsody sounds prog', it's one of the two songs I mention in my post, but IMO Queen is not a Prog' Band.

but neither is a lot of pop stuff from Genesis, Rush and Yes.

Early Genesis is my all time favourite band, but aren't ABACAB (With Earth Wind & Fire), Invissible Touch, Genesis (Shapes), We Can't Dance, etc a full collection of soft pop songs? I also believe ATTWT and Duke are mainly Pop, but those two at least have a couple of good songs. So, Genesis does have a lot of POP stuff.

I believe most Yes albums with Rabin are POP, not as soft and boring as Genesis but 90125, Big Generator and most Union are simply POP.

Rush is not a pop band IMO, a good classic rock band but neither is prog.

But it's only my opinion and maybe I'm wrong.
