And would any of those inspirations evolve from a band called YES? If so.....you wouldn't be under anyone's level. Lol! These albums you take inspiration from.....are they albums recommended to you based off what is considered great by a confused group of people? Are these magic albums or are they leftovers from the late 70's? Here we have P.A......a website designed for appreciation of Prog and who on earth would think it's members would say that King Crimson are not good. They'll stand in front of me and tell me how they saw GOD instead of the 5 members of YES.  If more people would stop separating King Crimson from YES more people would accept the music for what it really is..as opposed to re-examining the difference between the forces of good and the forces of darkness. This is one major problem existing for decades and that sick, demented, repulsive attitude has been in fact re-born and perpetuated on Progarchives for years. It's not music in that case...as it becomes something else. The invisible hand reaching out of the sky to cure everyone's stupid week to week problems. Or? even the pathetic ones like..."My Mom and Dad lied to me about Santa Claus and now I'm pissed off at the world". 

It's just a music site, man.  .....Is it?  and what kind of music would that be? Captain Beyond? Is that music  man?

Is Captain Beyond music??  HELL YEAH!!  

This is really laughable to me. Imagine playing guitar like a slacker which is basically what I hear on Captain Beyond..and then members on a Prog website consider that good music? To top that off, you've got members on this website who claim that Syd Barrett had no talent and beyond that criticize Rock guitarists like Paul Kossoff , (and many others), yet claim that Captain Beyond is good music?  So now I'm suppose to figure out how a silly world like that makes any sense at all...when in reality it doesn't. The guitar playing on Captain Beyond sounds like "junior talentless" frustrated with the pentatonic scale. I call that shameful. People should be shameful for claiming that what is great is garbage and what is garbage is great. Seriously you've got members on here who claim to appreciate R.I.O.   Are you now going to tell me that the same people who listen to R.I.O. are praising Captain Beyond? Then they have the nerve to outcast certain musicians because they played in Rock bands? Give me a break. This sounds like the attitude of many vendors who set up their stands at Prog gatherings. The ones who get personally offended if someone mispronounces the name of a Prog band...yet they don't have a clue what real talent is and then they try to sell everything on their table by telling you that..."Oh ..SPRING is a great band! Van Der Graff Generator is a great band that never made a bad album or to be more blunt...Prog bands in general never made a bad album?  I mean....does that have anything to do with being honest?  WhY is "IN A GADDA-DA-VIDA" BEING DISCUSSED on a Prog site? That is an album that serious Rock musicians found laughable in the 60's and 70's. Not Prog musicians, but talented Rock musicians.  So in other words, you suck if you played in a mainstream Rock band, but Captain Beyond is good. That's a very silly world to live in.
