Gabriel-era Genesis. Especially the album Selling England By the Pound.

The other day I was listening to the latest album by Caligula's Horse and it occurred to me that it was so stuck in its own complexity and seriousness. So vain and not even 'progressing' anymore. I think the same goes for bands like Marillion, Spock's Beard and basically every band that has or had Mike Portnoy on drums. I used to like these bands when I discovered them years ago and they made me rediscover the old giants (Yes, Gentle Giant, Genesis). But that brought me to freer styles like Canterbury rock and krautrock. Now I find these neoprog bands so overserious. Always complaining about modern life on their heavy concept albums, always a few corny songs in-between the complex 15 minute epics. It's become a boring formula.

I wouldn't say that I dislike them, but one band that I really used to love but now find generally lackluster is Uriah Heep.

Exactly. Where's the fun in making music? It's all so depressing and wannabe-intellectual. And most neoprog-songs are eventually just poprock, but then 15 minutes long. No wonder Marillion's best album (Clutching) features shorter songs. They realized they were a bad progband but a good popband, and then suddenly they hit big!

Interesting point! I think I generally agree.. Although the mentioning of Caligula's Horse brings me to another thing I noticed: Many bands tend to lose their punch, get less extreme/dark/crazy as they evolve. Sometimes they shift into something I enjoy more (the Contortionist or even Opeth for example) while their older stuff was too extreme for my taste. And sometimes they become a little too uplifting and soft (like Riverside or Anathema). I guess there is a specific (narrow) spectrum of heaviness and darkness my music has to match or else it gets less interesting for me.

My farts used to sound pretty cool back in the day. Now they sound like they follow a formula. Poor me.

Have you listened to Spock's Beard lately? They've changed quite a bit since Neal Morse was in the band. Not saying you'll like it but they certainly haven't remained bound to the same formula.

I used to love Wishbone Ash, and I still love the 1970s lineups, but when they got rid of Martin Turner I went off them. Then came the Mark 1 reunion and I became interested again, then I lost track of them until I went to a few Wishbone Ash gigs in the early part of this century. I enjoyed them, even if Andy Powell's singing wasn't really true to the original WA sound. Then Martin Turner formed his own version of the band and had a run in with Andy Powell and his followers, and I found I was taking sides with Martin Turner because his vocals and basslines were such a big part of what I loved about the band. After Andy Powell took Martin Turner to court and later sl*g.ed him off big time in his autobiography, I decided I wouldn't give another penny to Mr Powell and even though he has the sole right to the name "Wishbone Ash" I don't consider it the same band anymore.

King Crimson. Loved their first album (except Moonchild): it was so different. Went off them as soon as In the Wake of Poseidon was released and now the sight of one of their albums sends me into a apoplectic rage.
Yes. Anderson's vocals grate. ELP. I still like some of their stuff, but Emerson is so over the top. The rest of the bands mentioned on here: Marillion, Riverside, IQ, Arena, Heep, Ash, Genesis: they just get better and better.

Barclay James Harvest. I can still find the odd good song in their oeuvre but 95% of what I once liked of them now doesn't give me much anymore.

Strange, to me it's the opposite. Since the live releases of John Lees Barclay James Harvest, I seem to be addicted to their music. Together with Saga and Camel, my most played progband.

BJH and Blackmore's Night
I lost interest in some albums, more than bands as a whole...
