It does, fora few seconds. Nothing wrong with that. The music of Willowglass is heavily influenced by 70s Genesis, as is the music of BBT...

It gradually turns out, that basically the only reason for that is, that he gets sent a lot of stuff where people try to polish their music with digital production gimmicks. Even apart from his ridiculously smug dismissal of everything programmed (although I agree that programmed imitations of instruments do mostly sounds bad), this thread is just about some pet peeve drenched in bias and has nothing really to do with the supposedly overall declining quality of the genre.
I don't think that pointing that out is as much a dick move, as starting this ridiculous discussion in the first place.

Agree with all this.

If you want to stop the thread, you could try go back to trying to teach him something.

He was quite rude to us.

I suppose he should have said "most people", but yeah, basically. If you were/are interested, at all, in having a proper conversation/debate about the current state of prog (not only the largely I assume unknowns on your label) then I would have a lot more respect for you. But you're discounting all the major prog bands, from Dream Theater to Spock and from Arena to Millenium without even discussing them. It seems that in your world the only new prog is what you get sent, and that is just plain loopy.
