I'll give you that... I like his various projects outside of Primus... in terms of 'proginess'.

that alternative stuff is prog.. then I'm resigning my SC position
(though I've already tried once hahahha) And though seeing Primus
on the Letterman show perform the songs dressed in animal costumes
brought back memories of the shear ridiculousness of Gabriel-era
Genesis. That simply doesn't cut it  Radiohead are serioius artists creating serious music. That's enough for me

But a song such as just is amazingly proggy? I think you may have to look deeper than just Wynona's Big Beaver.

Les Claypool, now there is a man who can play his insturment, and all the new things they tried... in my mind they are prog, radiohead is too but not nearly as much.

These are two bands I love a lot, but I never really consider radiohead to be artrock and primus as only prog related. I'm sure the same argument could be made for the flaming lips...but that is altogether different.
My question is...
Which band do you think fits better under the ineffible definiton of progressive rock?
