Absolutety. Internet habit have changed so much in the last 5 years. And lots of people only have smartphones or barely used computers/notebooks. (I don't think progarchives is very comfortable to use on a phone.) That said. I have never seen a captcha here? Must be very lucky.

King Crimson is touring in Europe this autumn. A huge hint about the rising popularity of prog.

It´s true that at least old popular progbands still have a lots of audience at least in their concerts. Magma´s gig (well it was a small club, but anyway), Roger Waters´s gig and also one Wigwam´s gig in Helsinki were/are all sold out.

I agree Born in the early 60s, my parents loved Classical and Jazz. Progressive music filled this gap very well indeed!... Being young too loved pop, with bands such as The Sweet, T-Rex and Fleetwood Mac. Shame really!.... It's seems it's left to us as avid fans. |

All you are saying is that each and every generation had their own preferences, and the parents did not connect with it as well as you and I would have liked. The same thing today. You and I do not connect with our kids listening to what we think is mindless rap … and mind you, even I thought that a lot of rock music after the 60's was about LOUDNESS, not necessarily music, but we still love our loud ones! And of course, by the time some kids hear Black Sabbath in their early days … ohhh wow … that's cool! We're not minding the history of the arts and music and its continual changes. The appreciation did not disappear, or no one would EVER go to a classic music concert by your local orchestra, even if it is just a bore, like the one here in this town! Ohhh , let's do Mozart's 32nd Concert for Piano and Dog. "Progressive" has always been there … and you can look at the other arts to see it … and how (sometimes) music is the slower of them all, because of the corporate controls seem to be further up front. You don't hear as much about the writing and the painting industry … which has the same problems, but the rich art gallery folks won't admit it. And they won't show these progressive folks because there are artists that they are getting good money for their work … The more things change, the more they stay the same … just wake up to it! |

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

It's not rising in my circle of friends and relatives....I only know the same 2 or 3 people (after the last 15 years now...) that listen to it.
Went to a small record show (vinyl, cd, posters, dvd, etc) in my local area...about 10 traveling vendors....most of the people buying were not at the 'prog table'....(this guy called Greg from CVC collectables . He was the only one there who had any meaningful vinyl and cd that was prog.
