Everybody just STFU. I've done my piece as requested. If William wants to use it fine, if not then that's fine too. I've far too many of your crappy albums to review for Love or Hate, so I'm off...

So you admit you were wrong?

No, you're right they didn't, but off the top of my head at the time I couldn't think of another American prog rock band. The genre has been peculiarly British, as I noted in my award-losing journal; even the "revival" was driven almost entirely by British bands. I guess it may be something to do with all those kids having been forced to learn to play piano or violin while in the States they were all playing baseball or whatever ripped-off sport was popular there.

What does this mean? I mentioned them as a prog metal band. You got a problem with that? I bloody hate them, but they're certainly a popular (insofar as any prog metal band can be considered popular) example of the genre.

I think he might have been answering my question about currently popular prog.
