Ok... I'm game.

But so is a lot of output by Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen, Mary Chapin Carpenter, and dozens of other singer-songwriters, especially the little-known Jan Krist. But that doesn't make it prog, or even a prog subgenre (IMNSHO). I have never seen "beautifully constructed tunes with a profound lyrical content" as a traditional earmark of prog. And remember, I have Pink Moon, so I'm not speaking out of ingnorance of having never heard the guy. He's not prog; he's folk. I vote "no" on Nick Drake.
These posts always read as more angry than I intend them to.
