Long time prog fan here... I grew up listening to early Genesis, ELP, Yes, King Crimson, Jethro Tull, etc. It carried into the 90s for the second golden age (Marillion, Dream Theater, Spock's Beard, echolyn,, etc.) Now it seems that prog is more infused into other styles, which is great too... bands like Porcupine Tree, Elbow, Radiohead, and Mastodon are carrying the torch into the edges of the mainstream. I do feel like full-blown prog is in a bit of a slump now though... yes, there are some good new bands, but none of them seem as fresh and exciting as the ones that emerged in the 90s (and especially the 70s). Maybe if it skips a decade (80s and 00s), we're due for another great decade ahead!
Interesting question: what is the best prog band that released their first album in the 21st century?
