I agree with the general consensus, but I've always thought that people say that their gripe with Prog (specifically the bigger bands like DT) is the technicality, but with most bands, it's always well-placed. And a lot of bands (obviously not Tech Metal and instrumental stuff) don't really do the DT-length crazy ass solo sections and when they do them, to me, it generally works. Guys in Prog like JP, it's sort of like as much as possible has to be put in, but it's always well thought out and has to sound good. People complain about filler a lot but I've always felt that with most Progressive bands, each riff, solo, etc. served its own purpose. Every note connects beautifully, even if the connection isn't the most logical or expected, it's usually the most pleasant and awesome. Watch someone like Mick Barr, yeah it's impressive (especially with how that guy looks, holy Christ), but it's nothing but noise, even if it flows well...
