	Not that I necessarily think modern prog is better persay, but these are the songs that reinforce my belief that prog is definitely alive and well. Let's start in 1992 and go in chronological order: "Metropolis, Pt. 1: The Miracle and the Sleeper" by Dream Theater "Ghost of Durtal" by Galahad "Further Away" by IQ "It's Ice" by Phish "Goodbye to All That" by Marillion "The Sky Moves Sideways" by Porcupine Tree "The Water" by Spock's Beard "Ænema" by Tool "An Accidental Man" and "This Strange Engine" by Marillion "Paranoid Android" by Radiohead "Universal Mind" and "When the Water Breaks" by LTE "The National Anthem" by Radiohead "At the End of the Day" by Spock's Beard "Citizen Erased" by Muse "Lateralus" by Tool "Time Consumer" by Coheed and Cambria "Wedding Nails" by Porcupine Tree "In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3" and "21:13" by Coheed and Cambria "Sacred Sound" and "Harvest of Souls" by IQ "The Invisible Man" and "Ocean Cloud" by Marillion The Willing Well suite by Coheed and Cambria "Knights of Cydonia" by Muse "As Far As the Mind Can See" by Spock's Beard "Vicarious" by Tool The End Complete suite by Coheed and Cambria "Empires Never Last" by Galahad "Way Out of Here" by Porcupine Tree "The Walls of Babylon" by Symphony X The Phantom on the Horizon EP by The Fall of Troy "Tempting Time" by Animals as Leaders "The Count of Tuscany" by Dream Theater "People and Their Lives" by The Fall of Troy "The Province of the King" by IQ "The Czar" by Mastodon The entirety of Part the Second by Maudlin of the Well "Exogenesis: Symphony" by Muse "In the Flame of Error" by Coheed and Cambria "Edge of the In Between" and "From the Darkness" by Spock's Beard "Breaking All Illusions" by Dream Theater "Concealing Fate" and "Eden" by TesseracT "Key Entity Extraction I: Domino the Destitute" and "Gravity's Union" by Coheed and Cambria "The Olive Tree" and "The Traveler" by Scale the Summit "Hiding Out" and "A Treasure Abandoned" by Spock's Beard "Luminol" by Steven Wilson "Of Matter" by TesseracT "Kascade" and "Tooth and Claw" by Animals as Leaders The whole album Descensus by Circa Survive The album The Road of Bones by IQ "Paper Moon" by Plini "Tides of Time" by Spock's Beard "Home Invasion / Regret #9" by Steven Wilson The whole album Handmade Cities by Plini "Caverns" by Thank You Scientist "Return to Earth" by The Contortionist "Belvedere" by Intervals The whole album Polygondwanaland by King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard (they're not in the archives yet, but I believe they are being considered for addition).

	IMO overall modern prog is not better. There are only some songs that are better to me e. g. Sigur Ros - Dauðalogn. I haven't heard any band so special, etheral, angelic, sometimes childlike ...

	Farmhouse Odyssey and Once and Future Band. Actually, screw that. I believe that as long as it's good music it doesn't matter if it's new or old. The thing is that nowadays there's more music in general, it's easier to make it and therefore there's more stinkers.

	Transatlantic "Stranger In You Soul" The Flower Kings "Love Supreme" Neal Morse "The Door" The Tangent "In Earnest" Kaipa "A Complex Work Of Art" Steven Wilson "Luminol" Big Big Train "Folklore" Wobbler "From Silence To Somewhere" All the above are every bit as good as Classic Era Prog (in my opinion.) And there are lots more!!!

	The following albums make me think that modern prog can be as good as or even better than classic period prog: Part The Second (Maudlin Of The Well) From Silence To Somewhere (Wobbler) Anno Domini High Definition (Riverside) Crack The Skye (Mastodon) Viljans Öga (Änglagård) The Death Defying Unicorn (Motorpsycho & Ståle Storløkken) The Black Chord (Astra) Fear Of A Blank Planet (Porcupine Tree) Snowtorch (Phideaux) The Mountain (Haken) Posthumous Silence (Sylvan) For Long Tomorrow (Toe) Pulsar (Counter-World Experience)
	No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.
