"Bahraini protestors given life sentences"

"Syrian massacre continues as troops fire on mourners at funeral"

*takes a sip of coffee*

"Some prog bands have been around for a very long time and aren't all that relevant to the current music scene"

*spits out coffee"

The moral: don't be a Dick.

to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...

It's funny how Yes, ELP, Crimson, etc are 'greedy old men' when they go out on tour. And yet the likes of the Pistols, Magazine, etc are so edgy and 'punk' when they do the same thing. The first punks are a bunch of old dinosaurs as well.
Hello, mirror. So glad to see you, my friend. It's been a while...

I don't know for Magazine (they have reformed?), but I remember that the '96 tour of the Sex Pistols had been received with suspicion by some critics - even the ones who supported the band back in 1977.

Anyway, we should also consider something never mentioned in this forum: who wrote the articles? We're talking about the newspapers, the magazines (no pun intended), but it would be interesting to know who are the authors of the said articles.
In the same newspapers, you can have a twenty-something fond of free jazz and a sixty-something who never accepted it; you can have a fifty-something who still loves his prog-rock symphonic and virtuoso and a thirty-something who thinks that rock should always sound like the Rolling Stones, U2 or the Clash.

Moreover, I'm not exactly sure the non-specialized magazines or daily newspapers have the best critics. For example:
 - When I wake up, I turn on the TV and watch the French TV show "Télématin": they have a young critic whose chronicle, without being overwhelming, is some solid stuff. But, when discussing the records or the artists, the main presentator is... such a pain in the neck...

Everyone who's big will be a dinosaur as soon as they aren't big.

I don't think it's ever been unique to prog.

Whenever I scroll past this thread I start singing Dinosaur by King Crimson......

I don't know if I should feel ashamed or proud in some disturbed way.

Your are indeed right. Even Frank Sinatra was called a dinosaur when he made a come back in the 90s.

Tell me where you started your thread  on middle eastern uprisings etc. and I'll more than happy to endorse it with my own input (have seen some of the early rumblings of unrest by various faction in KSA). In meanwhile, being a prog site I write about prog and related matter - but if you want I could draw parallels with restrictive 30's regimes applying thought control, e.g. through book-burning.

Since this band had started its carreer in the mid-80's, they are already a dinosaur by age... But a tiny dinosaur: they don't sell millions of records, while a "true" dinosaur is supposed to be "huge", selling millions of records, filling stadiums, answering to TV shows presentators all around the world, etc...
