Because I thought the lyrics were too cliched and that prog usually has more than 3 instruments.

He didn't even post any lyrics and to back up why you thought it was bad you replied "Can't have prog without keyboards." In addition to that what about Rush and the Fall of Troy?

I don't listen to Rush but I assumed since they had three members they had three instruments, however the Fall of Troy still only has three instruments so point remains.

The majority of lyrics are cliche, prog is full of cliche lyricists and if they're fun lyrics then who cares?

Don't drag my actual criticism here,and Geddy Lee sings, plays bass and keyboards. I guess I'm wrong on TFOT. Haven't been into them recently.
