Pick out just about any band that's called prog now, and I'll give you my opinion. It's just my taste after all, which does lean to dynamic/intense/emotional music.
As for the old stuff, just some examples of what I listened to in the 70s (and still do) that are usually referred to as prog now, but we didn't have that term for this type of band back then, at least around here. What we called prog was Yes/Caravan/KC/early Genesis etc., generally British.
What we didn't call prog (here) ~40 years ago that many call prog now that I listen to: Family, Curved Air, Renaissance, Magazine, Barclay James Harvest, Be Bop Deluxe. You get the idea. Not hugely popular, adventurous, sometimes out there. I *do* agree that this should have been called prog by us, because it was. But music was (over) labelled/categorised back then, that's how it was sold. I like things better now.
