The fact that consenus poll shows the favorite band here to be Rush should more than answer your question. Also, I love King Crimson.

Prog rock is one of the two genres that I absolutely love. I'm a huge fan of Pink Floyd, Rush and Yes inparticular, and it's great to see bands like Coheed and Cambria bringing back prog into the music scene.

Can someone explain to me a non-dictionary definition of progressive rock? Layman's terms, if you will? It seems a bit strange to put Pink Floyd, Yes, Rush and Coheed & Cambria into the same group... and isn't the Mars Volta considered prog rock?

Progressive rock is basically music with a central theme or concept. Other than that, the musicians are usually incredibly skilled at their instruments, leaning towards a virtuoso level, and their music contains strange time signatures and longer than usual lengths.
In other news, I started listening to King Crimson and I love it. Now I need some ELP. |

There is loads of great Prog, such as early Genesis, Van Der Graaf Generator, ELP etc. It's kinda died out now but there's still a fairly large online community devoted to it, on sites such as Prog Archives.
Prog still masquerades in modern bands such as the aforementioned Coheed and Cambria (pop prog), Between The Buried and Me (metal prog) and Opeth (death metal prog).

Seeing as we have a prog thread, I thought I'd pose a question. Which ELP album: Brain Salad Surgery, Tarkus or Emerson, Lake & Palmer?

Alice in Chains are not progressive rock. They are grunge and their later stuff was sludge metal and desert rock in the vein of early Soundgarden.
