Oh man, thanks for the list. Even if few of these I recognize a fair bit I don't. Again, as I've said, most of the music I know is random ill defined mix of prog and obscure from my father with some general hits and a few add ons by myself because I've never fully bothered to define my own musical taste. Have things I like, and I know I lean to a lot of stuff up that alley, but I have only haphazardly looked around myself and rarely become a fan of more than some haphazard songs over bands I can say I like.

>. Post punk didn´t kill it and both can coexist perfectly as shown these days
Yeah, I agree. Though what I said wasn't based on progressive rock vs punk/everything else more so a lament of the decline of mainstream music as a whole. Even if there is more choice than ever, it just feels right now that the mainstream is just rotting in the same repetitiveness was the main gist of my point. Corporations always wanted to make money regardless of decade but now there is no soul there. You can still find stuff on the net but sometimes I almost have a glass is half empty view do to the lack of variety on top and me considering it a bit unhealthy for society in several ways. Like a lack of real political variety ad meaning, the disappearance of folk music, country being turned to radio friendly, etc.
?
exactly and one thing about your line. There is a hard rock band that has become popular recently and even won a Grammy. Sounds good right? you know what, they don´t interest me at all and I will let you to think what band it is and how it affects the industry for the worst instead of doing a good thing.
Maybe I"m just a bit of a fool who lives under a rock, as this has been only my impression over something I can say has been scientifically verified well, there was couple studies...

>so you won´t find this anywhere else. Prog rock is seen somewhat badly because people always circlejerk about the same old bands from the 70s and they believe that they are patricians for doing that. Sure, these modern artists cannot beat them but they fill that spot that you would consider nonexistent and it´s actually there.
Something I can understand tbh. Though most of my knowledge comes from my father from what I've seen in the times I've peaked my head out there there is the 70s circlejerk and then there is various smaller circle jerks with an ever tighter definition of what prog is and can be especially dismissive to other progressive/art and experiential rock of similar spirits from the 70s or otherwise.
