Why does the USA still love Prog?

[ButtGoodAndQuik]

Or "Math Rock"...

Prog seems so international in flavor (especially those crafty Italians). Although, I wouldn't say that England has turned it back on it. Look who is still busy... Eno, Simon Phillips, Robert Fripp, Bryan Ferry, Bill Bruford, John Wetton, the list goes on. Keep in mind, though, Prog has a quite a bit to compete with, basically the simpletons that listen to that 4/4 extruded bilge on a daily basis, spoon fed by people who don't give a crap about quality and follow the almighty market forces. That didn't seem to be the case when it was "created" in England. I don't think it matters if England "gave up" on Prog, if that's what you think happened. As long as the genre lives and there is ample supply, I will be happy. Hope you are, too.
