 I don't think so...(to the question that album like Invisible Touch and
 90125 are progressive???)

 Groups like Genesis (especially) and Yes are not so much progressive now...
 (i don't know about the last Yes album, but the last two Genesis are, in
 my view, not progressive at all.

 There was a great definition of progressive rock a couple of days ago...
 ...about what kind music it was...

 I don't agree that R.E.M. is a progressive band...
 ...a example of progressive are:
 
	Genesis (pre-1977): there last real progressive album was Wind
           and Wuthering)(last album with Steve Hackett at guitar...)
        Yes : the best progressives albums are in the ALBUM to CLOSE TO
            THE EDGE era, even if after there was album like Relayer
            and Drama that are also great...
        
        Other groups like Gentle Giant, Jethro Tull (some of there
        earlier stuff: Thick as a Brick...), Pink Floyd (Ummagamma(sp??)...),
        etc...there a lot of example, but R.E.M. is not one of them.

       Other  examples are Marillion (early 1980 especially) and a forgot
    to mention Emerson, Lake and Palmer (specially the 1st and 2nd albums)

But I am repeating what someone already said.... 
    ...this is just my opinion!!!

                                   Hope I was of some help....
