Dunno why you want non-70s influenced music.
All music:, complex poly-rhythms or simple pop have influences. the 70s artists were influenced by those who came before and that went back until the caveman, and the influence goes forward forever as well.. So it is impossible to avoid 70s or any other decade's influence.
In addition, why on earth would you avoid the 70s??. That might have ben the pinacle of progression and learning
and creating in music, from super pop stars like Steve Miller to complex stuff like Brand X or King Crimson.
Cheers!

The Sky Moves Sideways takes influence from Pink Floyd. Porcupine Tree are good example though because you can hear modern influences. As people have said before, it would be incredibly hard to find modern prog that does not take influence from 70's prog because all music takes influence from music that came before it whether it is direct or indirect. With that said, Pain of Salvation are good examples of being modern and original.(Except for Road Salt One and Two for obvious reasons). They tend not to make their influences obvious in their music and they take more modern influence. Riverside, too, do not take huge influence from the 70's, except for the occasional Pink Floyd inspired moments. Anno Domini High Definition takes more a prog metal and trance influence.

Maybe it's just me, but I find Deluge Grandeur to be a very original sounding symphonic band. Sure, they have their 70's influences, but they are integrated in a way that makes it nearly impossible for me to point to anywhere where they sound like some 70's prog band (the big names, at least). There is also an interesting Zeuhl influence to be found in their music as well, though again, it's not dominant and can't really be pointed to as tribute or copy at all.
Anyway, just one I thought of, others may well disagree. |

Ok, fair enough about the 70's prog.
I don't think your above scenario could exist, since all bands create from their influences, no artist produces from a vacumn. There is no logical way a band could sound proggy a la Rush or Gentle Giant, without knowing that music and just creating from random writing & jamming.
So could Justin Bieber release a record that sounds progressive just by coincidence? I doubt that would be possible.

A very healthy concept, but the way music is today, totally doomed to failure.

Jane Siberry's "The Walking" (1988) sounds very special. Highly original. Edited by wilmon91 - February 18 2012 at 09:04 |

Check out finnish progressive rock/metal band Nauticus. There is similarity to modern bands like Tool, Isis, Mastodon and IntrOnaut but there is also lot's of 70's prog rock (King Crimson) influences which can be heard. The new album "The Wait" was released about two weeks ago and three of the songs can be heard from their bandcamp-page. "The Wait" is a seven song concept album with eight tracks on it, that was furiously written, composed, practiced and recorded within a period of two and a half years. An apocalyptic lyrical theme flows through an hour of experimental, psychedelic and visionary landscape of rock, metal and alternative. From the beginning the objective has been to make music that will stand the test of time and an album that takes the listener to a complete journey through out the whole release, not something you listen song by song on shuffle with your MP3-player. The band feels there is no need for over the top individual musical showmanship, as the aim is to bring forth a strong vision as a single unit.

I went back to the original post and I'm thinking: what the hell do you want? Stuff that sounds like it but came up with it independently? Stuff that doesn't sound anything like it? Maybe you just don't like prog.

Oh please, Radiohead was compared with PINK FLOYD and some said that this band was the new Pink Floyd Starting with David Cavanagh in his review of OK Computer in Q, 130, compares directly the band with Pink Floyd. But also
Even in our site
You can also check: http://www.hometheaterforum.com/t/117268/radiohead-the-new-pink-floyd And I can follow for hours So apparently they are not only influenced by an old Prog band, but by the oldest of the big 6 Prog bands. Iván

Popular reviewer George Starostin said that Pink Floyd's greatest legacy lay in the way they presented their music and not so much in brilliance purely from a melodic or harmonic standpoint. It is not surprising that Radiohead are sometimes called the modern day Pink Floyd because their greatest strength too lies in the way they present their songs and not necessarily always the melodic/harmonic substance (though they can have their bright moments in that respect too). The way their songs are built and paced is what they draw their identity from. Their overall songcraft is what establishes in the view of some, including yours truly, a few degrees of separation between them and most popular rock acts of the 90s, including prog oriented groups like Opeth or Dream Theater. And, like Pink Floyd, they also invest a lot of effort in carefully producing the album to the end of extracting the most value from the studio album format.
