"Prog flavored mainstream pop"
I must admit, I'm surprised at the reaction that
phrase has generated - perhaps I could best elucidate with a brief list of
examples upon which I could easily expand, as I'm sure you all would as
well:
Asia
Styx
Foreigner
Journey
Giuffria
Bad English
Queensryche
Boston
Electric Light Orchestra
U2
...and the list goes on.
Hope that clarifies.
