OOTD was progressive, ASOS was too. Same goes for Echoes (don't know about 
Atom Heart Mother Suite). Alan's Psychedelic breakfast... difficult one. Is 
this Prog? Is this Rock?
Other songs, (like Seamus, Remember A Day, Pillow of Winds, ...) are not 
progressive at all. Some of them are however extremely psychedelic, and 
discussion in this echo is permitted by the temporary moderator. So, talk on 
;)

I'd say the marriage/divorce theme is pretty obvious, there's lunacy (a bit), 
but the greatest songs (Learning to Fly, Sorrow, Dogs of War) are no 
'concept'.
