Many would say today that prog is dead, and it died when people started repeating themselves...repeating themselves...repeating themselves. Let the hip-hop crowd see how closely they can mimic one another; regurgitating other people's licks ain't what prog is about.
Prog lives on, in different sub-genres. I've never been a fan of prog rock, w/ a few exceptions, but I can appreciate the influence it had on bands I dig, like Tool...
