I've long held this belief, and I believe many others do!

If you're stuck in the 70's, yeah. Otherwise no.

Who's stuck in the '70s?

Fusion originated here. That's the point.

No doubt Fusion originated here, but I think he means that, since then, other forms of prog had overtaken the throne here in the US.

ie. Prog Metal, Tech/Extreme, Hello??

Maybe read the "forms the core of" part again? Most of those guys are nevertheless influenced by the key fusion and prog players. A new blend is just that, it doesn't make the ingredients any less perceptible to my palate.

Michael Romero is as good if not better than John Petrucci, and that’s saying a lot!

Miriodor is the best Canadian band.

I'm just starting to delve into Radiohead's discography. My uncontroversial opinion is that, so far Kid A and Amnesiac are my favorites.

My controversial one is... I just got to Hail to the Thief and uh... I like it more than OK Computer *GASP*.

SEBTP is probably the worst Gabriel/Hackett album. Which means it's still amazing, just not as amazing as the rest! Arguably, the most representative genesis album with all the tropes and great production (and THE lineup) being classified as the worst?? I don't think so! For me, it rises above everything Genesis did with the possible exception of The Lamb

Collins Genesis was an excellent Neo-prog band, at least until IT. Correction: A GOOD prog band through Duke; Well into the 80s, they went full blown pop. Did you just say Neo-Prog band??

Duke is better than anything Gabriel has done, and most of what Hackett has done. Duke is a great album and is neck and neck with the best solo stuff from both - I can get behind this

Fish is a better singer than Hogarth I agree

Radiation isn't a bad album, and is probably better than Season's End and Holiday in Eden. Can't comment here

People complain that Italian accents sound horrible singing English lyrics, I think Swedish accents are much worse! (Still love several Swedish bands though!) Both should stick to their native tongues; groups like Opeth don't have to - they have been around long enough

Big Generator is better than 90125 and almost as prog as ABWH I agree, but I never thought ABWH was that 'prog' per say

Olias of Sunhillow is a 5-star album

^ Talking of Hammill, drummer Andy Edwards has drawn attention to the album Nadirs Big Chance as being an influence on Johnny Lydon . Excellent video this, best Andy has done imo.

He looks and sounds like Griff Rhys Jones. LOL
