Fill in the blanks............
 
 
1. this generation's Pink Floyd is__________________
 
2. this generation's Genesis is____________________
 
 
3. this generation's Yes is_______________________
 
4. this generation's King Crimson is__________________
 
 
5. this generation's Rush is________________________
 
 
(for purposes of being overinclusive and getting a variety of answers, 'this generation" means any band that was born post 1980 to the present)
 
 
btw, the idea here is to find a fairly close match in sound to each particular band, ie a parallel career and sound
 
mine would be:
 
1. Porcupine Tree
2. IQ
3. Flower Kings
4. King Crimson
5. undecided--have to think more on that one

Are you referring, then, to the post-Discipline version of the band?

any version of King Crimson beyond the 70s versions, ie the reformed 80s version or the more recent double trio, projects etc. Specifically, the 4 man 80s version or the double trio from 95-96 would fit the bill
