I can never get to grips with what exactly constitutes prog, except I seem to hate nearly everything that gets called that. Sometimes I find myself idly wondering whether something non-prog cannon I'm listening to might be considered prog and whether proggers would like it.
Here's an example. It's very pretty, has minimal (and banal) lyrics and turns well proggy just after the 2 minute mark.
What do you think?

Re: Do proggers like this?
It's pretty good, ii like the way it starts and how the break all of a sudden recalls the Heavy Metal-movie's 70's psych-rock vibe. It's a shame it falls apart thematically at the second part.
Guess you could call it progressive but it would be prog-lite at the highest.

Damn. Back to the drawing board.
Glad you liked some of it though.

Sorry C. I'm never too sure whether an outsider like me is allowed to use the term. I shall try to remember in future.
Now listen to the bloody track and comment on it!

You're not an outsider Tym lad - you have broad church prog elements...

I quite enjoyed the first 30 seconds then it became repetitive.
After 2 minutes it was a dog's breakfast

A bit too bland/polished for me.

Yeah, I’ll go with that. Not really my bag.

I thought it ponderous and indecisive and lacking in pretty much everything - though the first minute or so had a nice relaxed vibe, it never went anywhere. Then when it did I wished it hadn't. Or at least that it had gone somewhere else.

Pretty much what I thought. That’s why I thought maybe you prog goons would like it.
Looks like I haven’t quite nailed it.

I quite liked most of it apart from the vocals, but it's ultimately very forgettable
