Quite a lot of people do not like Canterbury. I actually can't stand it, with the possible exception of Soft Machine.

It is absolutely impossible to define prog as we understand it in a single image, much less in a 1000x100 banner. If you take an average of 10 bands from each subgenre and condense PP/PR, that is 200 images you have to somehow work into that space, and even then some people will still feel left out. As for clearly defining PA, might I suggest removing all of the things around the PA logo?

Not to be argumentative, but what you're describing . . . I don't think a collage captures that. A perfect and unique banner was what we already had before the change. Now, we have a bunch of different pieces of artists that not everyone would agree define 'prog' for them.
Not saying to take it down, and I've already told Abel I enjoy his work . . . just giving more opinions.

I like the idea of a header revamp but as commented the new one is very attractive but maybe a bit contrived, would prefer something more sophisticated, less obvious and symbolic.? 
along the lines of this one...

which implies that if the naysayers win, it won't make a difference.... it'll stay anyway, right!?!?
lemme guess, you vote Republican, right??

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

I'm afraid I'm with the dissenters here Max -
Although I am a fan of Abel's work, I don't think it works as a site logo; the older one was more crisp, and (dare I use such a horrid expression) a sharper brand identity (  ).
Sorry Max (and Abel) - don't like it.

Heh. Reminds me of when hip-hip artists aspired to be "phat" and "stoopid".
