        Probably, and even if it's not exact, I think it's close 
        enough to give them the benefit of the doubt.

        I agree thoroughly. There's proggy bits scattered all 
        over their first 5 or 6 albums and _Queen II_ probably 
        should qualify in its entirety as a prog album. 
 
        BTW, back in the 70's Zappa was interviewed and asked 
        what contemporary guitarists he thought highly of. The 
        only one was Brian May. I can see that since he's really 
        a guitarist's guitarist, constantly throwing in musical 
        puns and allusions that only another guitarist would get. 
 
                                Cheers, 
                                Kenneth
