I guess it needs more bands like Cream, King Krimson, Gentle Giant (!!!), The Moody Blues, McDonald and Giles, etc

Erm...from what Ive heard from these bands, I'll being giving them and their like a wide berth. One of the low points in the history of rock is the European 'prog rock' movement with such pompous, pseudo-classical cak like Genesis, Emerson Lake and Palmer, Yes, Gentle Giant, Moody Blues. No apologies here. Who are McDonald and Giles anyway?

Those bands had more musicality in their little finger than all the modern crap bands together. have you ever listened closely to what they do? i guess not. especially gentle giant are MASTERS of songwriting.

In fact I've had to. My university roommate loved all that kind of stuff. Maybe they have more kudos in the US. they certainly have had very little cred in the UK. in fact, bands like these are what gave berth to the monster that was punk
