It's not a case of people being haters.

You mentioned why you thought new prog was better than old prog, that's fair enough. But you've not actually mentioned any old prog at all to say why it's better, other than a quick dismissal of King Crimson compared to one band.

How much old prog have you actually heard? Can? Hawkwind? Soft Machine? Neu? Agitation Free? Cluster? Amon Düül? Art Bears? .. I could go on.

Battles & Mars Volta .. they're ok. I don't hate them or anything but listening to them and then putting on a Soft Machine album or an Art Bears album straight after and the 'progressive' label almost seems laughable.

And imagination & creativity beats out technology every single time.
