My kinda guy, actually.
I consider Stravinksy anything but prog. Sure, he's out there and makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up, but prog is short for progressive ROCK. Stravinsky's not rock. Likewise, there are thousands of non-prog rock songs (and songs of other genres) that make the hair stand up, and they're not prog.

Just my two cents.
