Then I guess innovative stands for something else than it did back in the 70s.... 
Can modern prog be good? Oh yes........but there is a loooooooooooooooooooong way between acts who are innovative these days, let alone progressive. Playing prog doesn't negate playing progressively.

	^ Can you back that up? (So that we have something to go on to against the 70s. )

	In the late 60s and early 70s, Prog music was showered with compliments such as 'innovative', 'ground breaking' and even 'revolutionary' (a clear misnomer as none of its fusion elements were actually invented). Do you feel that modern Prog music is still innovative, ground breaking or inventive or has it settled, more or less, into a comfortable or even predictable niche? As an extra, if an artist like Steven Wilson was to produce something radically different (for him) such as an instrumental jazz/fusion album, would you welcome it?
