I was reading the humorous article "How to Write a Prog Rock Song" and at the end it had the lyrics and format of a fake prog rock song about prog. It made me wonder-are there any newer songs about the greatest genre of all time?

I always interpreted the lyrics to Rush's "Hemispheres" to be about the whole prog vs punk scenario that was going on at the time of the song's inception (e.g. prog = Apollo, punk = Dionysus).
