Clones

[byzantium]

Yes, the retro-prog-bands seem to avoid the pitfalls and actually doing some things better in a way (like Pär Lindh, *I* think), but at the same time they are not as interesting.

Prog-rock in the 70s was inspired by jazz, experimental and classical music, retro-prog-rock is inspired by 70s-prog-rock. Something is lost in the latter process.

And I'm not very impressed by neo-prog either, so I tend to stick to the 'original prog-rock' made in the 70s.
