It's in the weekly emails from Max that seem to be impossible to opt out of.

Psh, RIO already did that in the seventies.
Check out that large text!
And italics! I win this round, modern imitators!

Some elaboration on the opening "thesis" would help, but I don't readily equate "popularity" with artistic worth.

You'll have to explain to me what the purpose of this thread is because I have no idea at the moment.

Notice, the posts for all sorts of categories relate to new prog bands, whose music has some following somewhere, I am sure. Then look at the most played song samples list. It is almost exclusively titles from 25 or more years ago. I think the definition of what makes a band's music PROG is wide enough so the relative art-lessness of most new stuff can duck under the bar.
Symphonic prog is the standard by which all genres now considered PROG ought to be judged. The other styles are good rock music, but it is the symphonic-ness of these vintage trax that makes people want to hear them repeatedly.
Yes, I am 53 yrs. old, as of today, Jan 21, as a matter of fact. I grew up listening to the music I am championing, and I am sure the young people of today will root for their generations efforts.
What say ye, current young people?
