me either. that stuff still makes my skin crawl, no matter who pedigrees it.

"Pedigrees it"?? Ugh. Never could stand ELP. Still enjoy King Crimson, Gentle Giant, Hatfield and the North, National Health, Henry Cow, Slapp Happy (although whether the last two really are "prog" is open to conjecture, as the right people actually *like* them) and I'm too young to have seen any of them play in their prime. But I did see the 21st Century Schizoid Band (Giles, Giles, MacDonald, Collins, Jaksyk) the other night - and they ROCKED. Mostly. I'd forgotten how good the first Naked City album is, actually, until I played it for my boss in the car yesterday. I had thought that I wouldn't enjoy it anymore, as a lot of the ideas on that record have become almost commonplace in "avant" music circles. But no, it was still great.
