You seem to have a refined taste for talented musicians, I can't grasp why you deny these progressive rockers the respect that they deserve?

Far from having a dislike of keyboard oriented music nothing could be further from the truth. I'm well into the N'awlins style of 'boogie woogie' of players like Meade Lux Lewis and Dr John, top jazz piano whizzes like Art Tatum, fusion maestros like Joe Zawinul,Herbie Hancock & Bernie Worrall and 'electronica' like Underworld. I even quite like some classical. The problem I have with 'prog' is it's too contrived and clever for its own sake, with technique more important than musicality and feeling.
