After reading some of the comments I quite like Tangerine Dream up to the Tournado tour - must be about 1997. Excellent sound - but to me they just didn't know how to finish a track. Probably why I liked the live album with the links between each piece producing a continuous sound.
Still can't get into Rush though - I have tried

DT lost it after Awake, Focus after Hamburger Concerto (haven't heard
the two new albums though, they might be good), Queensrÿche after
OM.

Don't know if Rush has been mentioned, but I think they are one of the
few that had it, then really really completely lost it. After Grace
Under Pressure, they, well, sucked.
As for DT, they had it, always did, and always will. Never have they lost it.

A few bands lose it... maybe not "lose it" as in losing quality or something (No, I honestly think they DO), but better yet "loose it" as in letting the prog-stream flowing through their veins loose and lost in a pool of waste....
But The Flower Kings will never lose it!!!!!

I agree with Fates Warning after Perfect Symmetry.
Dream Theater went kinda flaky on Octavarium, there's only three songs I like from it (Root of All Evil/Sacrificed Sons/title track), they started to sound too much like other bands with their other songs. However, the "Score" concert totally rocked.

CLUTCHING AT STRAWS is a wonderful album and so is misplaced childhood..... I don't think they lost it at all!

A question of taste....Yes after the Yes Album sounds about right. Even though I dig most of what they did right up thru Drama, a warmness (for lack of a better word) was lost with the loss of Banks' jazzy fills and Kaye's earthy keys (I think Bruford peaked with the band on the first three albums). What followed was often spectacular, they became a much more mature, accomplished group after TYA but the skin they shed was one smokin' outfit....really love those Banks Wes Montgomery imitations/freak outs on some of the late 60s bootlegs.

Can only judge on when I stopped listening to the following acts, or in some case where I continued to buy their albums desperately hoping they'd regain form.
Prog:
Genesis- after Wind and Wuthering
Yes- After (and including bits of) Topographic Oceans
Tull- After Heavy Horses
Non-Prog:
REM- After Automatic for the People
Desperately Hoping:
PFM- Stopped buying their studio stuff after Jet Lag (and jusging by PA reviews this seems to have bee wise) but recently got some of their later live albums, got Dracula (mmmm) and got the new one on order. Fingers crossed!

I partially agree as Poland (1984) is one of the best live albums I've ever come across.However I really like Underwater Sunlight (1986) and even Tyger (1987) has some good moments.I believe TD started to go noticeably downhill after 1987.

Frank Zappa after "Them Or Us"
Iron Maiden after "Fear Of The Dark", they became interesting again with "Brave New World"
Led Zeppelin After "Presence"
Genesis after "Duke". They were still an O.K band, thought
Deep Purple after "Burn". Their 80's and 90's albums are still quite good.

Agreed on Genesis, PF and Yes. But I disagree on Marillion: Childhood's End and Clutching at Straws captured Fish-era Marillion at its finest....
