Many of the old prog bands of the late 60s/early 70s are still going, still touring, still making new albums. This is, of course, a very good thing. And now that prog is on the up again, even the later bands are starting to be among the older bands around - it's been thirty years since bands like IQ and Marillion released their debut albums. And as well there are a number of bands that I would consider new which have been releasing albums for twenty years.
I wonder which of the 20-year bands will be around in another 20 years, and I wonder which of the 40-year+ bands will be releasing new albums fifty years after their debut. Lineup changes help, of course. |

i hope that the band who have enough inspiration to create some great music will still be releasing new stuff. My guess is Flower Kings, Marillion,Anglagard (with 2 more cds in 20 years...), maybe Echolyn, IQ, Galahad, Glass Hammer, Neal Morse, Spock's Beard. Porcupine Tree and the only band of 40 year old that i want to continue after 50 years is Rush, i just hope that Yes quit unless Chris Squire can find anyone to create some interesting new music and not only to tour around the world by playing the same old songs.

Yes that what not so bad, but how many years for another one? and why the band don't play songs from this one on their tour? And remember that most of that cd was a song made on the Drama recording. |

Klaus Doldinger's Passport is still going strong since '71, though Doldinger is the only original member. (And i happen to be in Canada,where they will not play concerts

A lot of great & longlived bands have only the one original member - some have none. |

Rush will continue till they drop
Yes will carry on with a tribute style line up as plenty are ready and able to step in when needed. Radiohead will still be a miserable bunch of b*****ds in 20 years time

Longevity is fine. But some bands are like that last guys at the party that sits around drunk telling you the same boring stories with his sloppy slurred speech long after you are ready to go to bed.

There is no act more pretentious and self-indulgent than labeling another's art as pretentious and self-indulgent.

I'm not so sure this a very good thing.
![]() A lot of the greats from the '70's drifted off into commercialits. Yes became very stale for me... I wouldn't be surprised if Rush carries on as heads in jars like Futureama. ![]() Edited by Slartibartfast - May 21 2013 at 16:02 |

Dream Theater is one of those bands where you don't realize how long they've been around; 24 years and counting, with a new album coming this fall! I think they're the kind of band that could be around practically forever, although their longevity is going to be contingent on how long it takes for Labrie's voice to go pop.

Actually it's closer to 28 years, if you count the years before the debut album. And I agree about LaBrie. If their newest album doesn't really show any spark or creative difference from their other albums, then I think a lot of people will say that they've reached the stage where the best is behind them.

Does anyone have anything to say about Soft Machine Legacy? Is theirs a valid way to continue?

It is 28. We cannot forget those majesty days and I'm like you guys where by I'm very excited to see what lies ahead. Dream theaters last album was nothing short of amazing. That track, Outcry is an immediate attack of the senses. Wow. I believe I gave the album a 5/5 |
