The only crappy prog I've heard lately was some local band trying to pull off prog. It didn't work.

 
Most prog I hear, I love.
I can strangle a canary in a tin can and it would be really original, but that wouldn't save it from sounding like utter sh*t.

AKA if anyone says Rush Wink
 
But its similar for me. Most prog i hear i like. I didn't like Kayak when i heard it. Maybe i should try it again. That's what i normally do when i don't like a band/album (Dream Theater comes to mind...not that i'm a huge fan of the band or anything, its just now i can listen to Metropolis Pt:2...)

You are of course free to discuss whatever you like. The vast majority who come here though, do so be course of their love of prog.
 
We should be talking up prog here, extolling its virtues, telling people how wonderful it is. There are all to many places, magazines, websites, etc., where prog gets knocked. let's try to be positive here, and go easy with the negative threads.

I believe Sturgeon's Law applies to Prog just as well as any other art genre: 90% of everything is crud.

Thus, the list is incredibly long, but it wouldn't be a True Teaflax Post [TM] if I didn't say this: most of the vocal sections on Neal Morse's ?. Could make for one hell of an instrumental album, though.

Kayak and It Bites just didn't strike a chord with me.

And the only way this thread is asking for trouble is if people take offense to somebody not liking what they like. If we just lighten up and not take it so seriously, the we're adult enough to handle it.

Just my 2 cents.

Yeah, that album is rather dull. I would probably given it 2/2.5 stars, though. Apparently their latest album is much better.

Notice that you did mispell particularly...
 
The Eve of Innocence is not a perticularly remarkable album. Sinister Street hasn't emerged from the 80s blazing new trails with an immediatly effective and emotive style. To the contrary, they've basically stuck with the same sound that so many Neo Progressive bands have worn to death. For a relative reference, the musical style on The Eve of Innocence is quite similar to Pendragon's The Jewel and the lesser-known (and not entirely without reason) Solitary Witness by Landmarq.

^Mr Pedantic strikes againWink

Queensryche's Operation Mindcrime II is not prog IMO, so it doesnt count here, but OSI's Free was a poor album, I found it very dull.
Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

Bad prog? Maybe I'll get bashed for this, but I find Pink Floyd pretty boring. Maybe not bad, but boring.

Go and listen to my music.

I happen to love all prog, at least all subgenres.... the only bands that didn't grab me at all are AOR-ish bands like Kansas, Styx, and Asia, and aside from that, Symphony XEmbarrassed
