EVERY genre has its excess and commercial bullshit... XTC perfectly commented on this with their stark, brilliant retort to punk and new wave, TRAVELS IN NIHILON (they were equally critical of prog)...https://youtu.be/4XrR5EHT_T4

Because critics are sometimes wrong.
-
The critics were right in this case.
-
Sometimes right. There are excellent prog albums and shit prog albums... like any other genre.
-
I like Aqualung. Pink Floyd wasn't prog, it was English acid. If you call them prog, fine.

Marketing lifestyle, myth, and spent youth with music as the synecdoche?

I saw Yes in April 1973 at GA Tech Coliseum during their Close to the Edge tour. After all this time, it remains in my top 5 concerts EVER.

Extremely thorough, well penned piece. Explains why prog & retro-prog has so bedeviled me over the decades. The jury is still decidedly out.

Oh, good Void a 6 minute song is indicative of Progressive Rock? FRANK ZAPPA AND THE MOTHERS OF INVENTION THEN INVENTED THE GENRE WITH "FREAK OUT!"

Well, I hope there is a big difference between doing something that is pretentious and grandiose versus truly creative. The distinction is a crucial one for critics to be able to and actually make.

Well, not many. Just about every subgenre of rock has had multiple revivals...still haven't seen all the ELP and Yes imitators.
-
I’d argue you can go from Yes > Dream Theatre > Muse
-
I hear Queen and even Depeche Mode in most of Muse's work before I hear Yes.

I generally don't. Rick Wakeman. Emerson, Lake and Palmer. All trash. It was a dead end that couldn't come near the music of the 60s, whether it's Frank Zappa, or Lou Reed or Jefferson Airplane or the Dead. Or Dylan.
-
Not to mention... NOT TO MENTION... that NONE of these band members were fit to tie the shoes of Jimi Hendrix or Otis Reading or James Brown.
-
...but you should admit that some bands had members that were worthy... ...otherwise you come across as snobby as ELP.

Peter Gabriel.
