As to the OP - nope, I don't think it is.


Quoted For Truth - there are plenty of great bands still making great music if you are willing to just spend a little time investigating and searching.  I find new stuff almost every week.

In fact, one of the problems we have today, I think, is with the advent of inexpensive, high-quality home-recording studios there are TOO many bands to sift through sometimes.  What I try to do is stay focused on the ones that have risen to the level of being signed to a label.

The problem with this view "Doc" is that there is no argument to be made against it. You simply stick your guns irrationally. This makes it impossible to engage with you in any meaningful way and you become a troll.

Prog doesn't die off, the easily bored get distracted.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I'd have to say that there seems to be a fourth wave of prog on the horizon given the number of 2011 prog releases. So I am not concerned that the third wave is "dying off." And if the fourth wave doesn't take off, I'll create a fourth wave. Even if I have to edit wikipedia.

OP has mentioned that the Flower Kings are on hiatusbut in the meantime several related projects were released so they haven't retired.
Just my 2 cents.

No he's not. He's just asking a question and people have responded.

I'm just tired of pessimistic "doomsday" posts based on what a few popular prog bands do.


I'm just tired of people going to threads on topics they have a problem with and posting rude comments in them.

I have to agree. Alarmist the OP may be, but calling him an idiot is just plain rude. And I should know.

...I have only one CD in my collection, "Close to the Edge," and I just play it over, and over, and over, and over....

I guess I better give a call to Dr. Prog!!
