I immediately think of Steven Wilson.
I mean, there's some great stuff. And Gavin Harrison is a really great drummer, but mostly it's just enjoyable prog-pop. Never really understood why it was so popular in comparison to anything else.

Overhyped? I don't know. The result is it irritates me, and I don't want to listen to Porcupine Tree anymore.

Heh, exactly the same to me. I really had to struggle not to fall asleep during actually listening to the whole 3LP set "The Moon Moves Sideways" (or whatever) album by PT. Well, nothing against them as I sold the album to a Polish guy for 100 euros. And he couldn´t be happier. I had paid 18 euros for it, so that album is a special for me, I mean was  Big smile 

That story is so heartmelting it almost made me cry. Can I hire you as my personal economic assistant? LOLLOL
Very well... but could you just try to sell your most boring records by yourself ? I have too many dull albums already and as an honest man I must listen them entirely before detailed evaluation for sale... it is just as interesting as doing housework or wash car (grin).

Musical box
All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.

Well you can't really call songs that aren't popular or well-regarded as "overrated", so I can understand why he'd list a big name artist like Genesis.

Easier way: Call inspector Morse and he´ll arrest him because of bad taste.

^Kidding or not, for something to be overrated it has to be rated highly first. A consensus that agrees to its greatness. PA rates Genesis songs such as The Cinema Show, Dancing With The Moonlit Knight, The Musical Box, Firth of Fifth & Supper’s Ready the highest. In Too Deep, No Son of Mine, I Can't Dance, Invisible Touch ect... are just well known songs because they were once hits - and actually rated low if anything.

Pink Floyd (except "Fearless")
90% of ELP (although I kinda like some stuff)
approximately 50-60% of Jethro Tull
every thing by Genesis after Peter G.
"Golf Girl" Caravan (I hate this f**kin' song!)
Moody Blues

OK, I like "The Musical Box", but am I the only one who prefers side A of "Foxtrot" (or at least "Watcher of the Skies", "Time Table" and "Get'em out by Friday"). Does it mean I also qualify "The Musical Box" as an overrated prog song?

I think it's fun; that's probably as high a rating as it gets.

Seamus is overrated! and More Fool Me! and Obladioblada! and Two Princes by Spin Doctors! Why? Because I don't like them very much!
