Would you consider Boston a prog band or not?

Proto-grunge, maybe, since Nirvana famously modelled their Smells Like Teen Spirit riffs after Boston's More Than A Feeling? :P

Your crazy Kaiser helmet's strapped on too tight.  Boston is shitty 70's/80's beer rock, Rush for Yankees.

In honor of the Zimmerman trial I listened to "The Chronic."  Some of the lyrics are amusingly dated like:

Got a VCR in the back of my car
That I ganked from the Slauson swap meet


or

Not form Kriss Kross but they call me Mack Daddy

Still it's a great album, with fine lyrics.  I think Eliot Spitzer should end all his speeches with Snoop's line:

And now you hookers and hos know how I feel.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Boston...not prog. I'd classify them under 70s Arena Rock bands...along with Journey, Foreigner, Styx

Boston as prog?  The mind boggles.  Agree with Jo 100%.  Does not make them not great, much like Journey or Styx (Foreigner is okay).
