Karn Evil 9 and Toccata from ELP's Brain Salad Surgery album.
Maybe Another Brick in the Wall by Pink Floyd, too. Not that it's bad or anything, it's just, y'know, they have about 100 better songs than that one.

Other than the 'classics', DT and PT, there's not a whole lot of prog that's popular enough to be 'rated' in the first place. Yeah, add Tool or Radiohead to that's it, really. It is tough to call a band with a small if somewhat vociferous fanbase like Magma overrated because in the larger scheme of things they're not.

I just finished listening to Porcupine Tree's discography. I need to listen some more, but overrated isn't the last word I would use to describe them

I love Camel from 1976 onwards as well as their debut. But Mirage and Snowgoose could have been better imo.
Aqualung is also one that could have been better. Side 2 is a bit weak but the remaster will be great with the 1971 EP and other bonus tracks. This will be a double studio album with 3 great sides of music with the 1 weak side being Side 2 of the original album

What i have heard of Camel does nothing for me, maybe i did not hear the right albums, but what i heard seemed sort of mainstream, and not that interesting

I really tend to agree with you! "Red" is wonderfully fun to play on guitar or bass, but "Fallen Angel" and others are only so-so, not nearly up to SBB nor LTIA.

I'm sure there are lots of overrated prog songs, it just depends on who you talk to.  All a matter of personal preference of course. In my unassailable opinion almost the entirety of Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall are overrated. Rush as a band are overrated. In Absentia by PT turned out to be hugely overrated: when I was first discovering these guys about a year and a half ago it seemed to be the one PT album the majority of fans suggested to get first, so I did. I tried and tried to love it but it just didn't happen. Too uneven. Two *great* songs, a couple good ones, the rest meh.

I love Moonchild. It's my least favourite off of the album, but I think it's great.

That album hasn't even been officially released in the US yet. How can it possibly qualify for this list? Nobody's heralding it as a masterpiece.
