Is it Vehicle by miRthkon?

I can agree with people that King Crimson is good. Most other famous prog bands do nothing for me. I can’t think of much worse things to listen to than Yes/Genesis/whatever

I would love to hear what people think of some of the “new age” prog bands like Porcupine Tree or Mars Volta

I seem to be in the group of few that finds prog rock to be pretty good. I'm not saying I'm completely emotionally attached to the genre, but I've listened to a lot of bands that I've loved and still listen to today that fall under this genre. So...i'm voting 1 because I feel like voting 2 is a bit too much.

Porcupine Tree is the definitive anti-progressive prog band. Mars Volta has some good jams on Deloused.

I can't remember what it's called but not that. I like how both the front and back covers look completely awful. No wait, I don't like that at all!

Porcupine tree and everything else Steve Wilson does is just as bad as the most famous old school prog is. Because he's just basically ripping it off. Just like Akerfeldt with the last three Opeth albums.

Mars Volta are kinda annoying, but still better than most prog bands.

I find Porcupine Tree to be a little boring. Mars Volta isn't all that great either but they do have their moments like this...
