Prog died basically in the late seventies with a few bands carrying on the flag throughout the 80`s an 90`s and even the 2000`s

I disagree. Totally. IMO, it didn't die; it went through various permutations to end up with what we now know as prog. |

So, you have one of those "clone" music collections? Man, you're missing a lot. But don't change your music preferences. Stick with what you like. It has been proved that it is very diffcult for someone to start a new taste after a certain age. For example, statistics say that I'll probably won't like Sushi, because I never tasted it before my 25's. But, I have a tendency to enjoy new things, so my chances are a bit higher than... let's say others... |

Yesterday I bought a Guapo album ... I can assure any worried people that prog is alive and going strong. |

^ I bought Five Suns from 2003. I've listened to it two times, and I really like it. It's somewhere between King Crimson, New Art Rock bands like Indukti and GYBE.

Let's agree to disagree. The problem with a lot of fans is that they stick to their genre/sub-genre and don't open their minds. That's a real shame, it's not what the music is about. |

I couldn't agree more. Perhaps the problem is that the term "prog" is the origin of the term itself. I mean, we all know wich bands started the concept. Or perhaps there are bands that should simply not be catalogued under that term. I don't know. Still, there are modern bands that think about themselves as prog that really has something to offer. Halloween and Anekdoten would be good examples. |

Prog didn't die dude, it just went underground to evolve and take on new forms like Iron Maiden, DT, Marillion etc.

I have developed a method to determinate who and who is not prog. for example, let's take Iron Maiden as subject. We aproach to them and ask: "...Excuse me, mr. Iron Maiden person you sir. ¿would you please tell if you, fine gentlemen, and those other Iron Maiden persons, consider yourself or your music or both as something we could define as, let's say, "progressive"? |

Another way would be to rate all their songs' progressiveness - say on a 0 to 10 scale. Hint: you can do that on my homepage. |

And that's just off the top of my head! There's a lot of genuinely progressive rock out there - just accept that the genre has moved on since 1974 and open your mind and ears. |

Have you ever listened to Incubus' album Science? It's modern, not progressive, yet it's very interesting. |

I guess this all comes down to peoples indavidual tastes and what they want out of their music. If what you are looking for is bands/artist that brake new ground and progress in the truest senseof the word then you will have to look very hard for that, if what you want a highly creative band then there are lots of them about and if you want a technically proficiant band then there are even more of these. Like I said, it all comes down to what you want out of your music, If the Lost Chord only wants music from the 60's and 70's then thats his choice, I however looke for technical proficancy and creativaty and so take my choice from a wide range of music, with all bands that I hear for the first time held as equalls, weather there from 1976 or 2006.

Anyone who thinks prog died in the 70s needs to hear the new Tangent album.
