I cant think of any, like Ivan I can findgood points in all their works, as long as we stick to their prog works that is and forget the pop that some of the greats turned to.

Some of you guys are really closed minded about what is prog. I know that there are some of you that think that because a band takes some of its influence from the likes of Metallica it isnt prog. This is quite something from people that claim to be open minded. 

Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

I'd say genesis is a good answer.  Anyone here ever see the video for land of confusion?

Triumvirat is awesome.

I would say 3 men  Genesis.....No, not Prog, we're not talking about POP.

Camel is boring but not bad at all.

I would say Jon & Vangelis..........Not Prog either, we're not talking about New Age

I can't find one, I see merits in most of them.

Not keen on the word 'worst' but my least favourite of the famous prog bands is probably ELP and even they have their moments for me.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

None of these bands are downright bad- in fact, Druid are excellent as are Marillion. However, in terms of pointlessness, Starcastle are hard to beat; if imitation is the highest form of flattery, then Yes' heads are still swelling 30 years after Starcastle's debut! They are the closest I've ever heard to an outright tribute act that suddenly decided to write original material.

Druid however, aren't as close to Yes as I'd heard. I heard their first album a few years ago on vinyl but only today bought the CD. The songs are more polished than what Yes do, and with far more mellotrons. And Marillion don't especially sound like Genesis either to these ears...

Totally agree !!

¡ Holly copy !, ¡ I forgot about Triumvirat !... But here's the thing: Eloy. They have a great album (Oceans); but the rest of their discography is just lame or uneven. I particulary dislike their first works; The power and the passion and else. Now, to be fare, I have to say that "Ocean" is an incredible exception; and the live album is not that bad; but I have a lot of eloy albums that I got hopping to see some kind of artistic growing from one to the other. I want my money back. Specially, I want the money I spent getting "Metromania". They are "Emule worthy".

¡Beware of the Bee!

Emerson, Lake & Palmer.

Everyone knows rock attained perfection in 1974, it's a scientific fact.
