Id have to agree, but there is still some good stuff in the 80s. Be bop
deluxe, early marillion (yeah i like it) to name two, theres more, but
70s was when all the best symphonic/cantebury/RIO/krautrock/jazz
fusion/zeuhl/electro nic/prog folk. Where ninetees has some sweet
avantprog/postrock/artrock/experimental stuff. The new millenium so far
has only been an extension of the ninetees but still pretty good. And
there isnt enough 60's stuff to really judge, real prog didnt start
untill 69 as far as im concerned, and one year of real stuff and some
assorted proto-prog isnt enough. |

I don't hate the 80's,it was just a bad decade for prog.I spent from 14 to 24 in the 80's and had a BLAST growing up in that time period. ------------- |

In the 80's most of the artists/bands who I listen have had an unstable period compared to what they have done in the 70's:

The 1930s was definitely the worst decade. the depression killed off all hopes of good prog-rock! ------------- "...misty halos made visible by the spectral illumination of moonshine." |

The 80s or 00s. But hey, the 00s are only half over. Both those decades do have great prog though, just not like the others. I mean, come on, Moving Pictures is an 80s album! -------------

Every music sucked in the 80's, no doubt about it. Even bands like Camel were strong in the 70's, then released some awful stuff in the 80's or nothing, then came back in force in the 90's. There really was a curse over music during those years... ------------- Vive le Québec libre!... |

Every decade before the 60's! (I lay in my pram in the 50's waiting for someone to invent it )

The eighties may have been less good for prog (although... Marillion,
Peter Gabriel, David Sylvian...), but there was quite some interesting
music made. After the seventies, my favourite decade for music.
