I submit that finding out that there are Prog-Rock songs on a album that
you have heard OF but only only heard a few cuts from IS finding out
about something you haven't heard yet.
For example, I doubt if you've ever heard the soundtrack album from the
movie "Streets of Fire", though you might have seen the movie. Only one
song from that film sounds like Prog-Rock, but it is a very good
Prog-Rock song -- "Tonight is What it Means to be Young". It has
multiple tempos, and the chord structure is somewhat innovative. The
instrumentation is basic rock-and-roll, with some good synthesiser
embellishments. The lead vocals have a heavy classical influence,
particularly Wagnerian operas.
