As a whole I agree, though Tom Morello seems to be single-handedly trying to keep it alive. And I really like the new RTJ album.

I just bought a 10-CD boxed set of Dream Theater out of curiosity.
And I’m setting up a recording capability, but my first tests depressed me.

Genesis with Peter Gabriel can be sublime. Foxtrot and Nursery Cryme are fantastic albums. "Super's Ready" is 23:06 minutes of pure eargasm. Try listening to Peter's live version (off Genesis Live) and Phil's live version (off Seconds Out) and see which you prefer; like them both differently. The post-Gabriel late 70s were really, really good, but it all went to hell in the mid 80s. I was a HUGE Genesis fan through 1985. Then Invisible Touch came out in 1986. I liked it at the time but mainly because I was still a huge Genesis fan. The more I listened to it, the less I liked it.
Once in awhile you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

Sort-of like Yes with Owner of a Lonely Heart. It was their only Top-40 Number 1, but leaves me uninterested. Prog groups struggled during the 80’s. I was almost exclusively listening to classical music by then.
Well, except for Philip Glass. Just listened to this yesterday:
Have to be alone in the house (or car) for Glass, though.

I do like Christine And The Queens - and I don’t like much that’s contemporary.

Cheesy pics in the vid but the audio is the best I found on YT.
If you want to see the performances with various audio quality, look for Dezyderata by Piwnica Pod Baranami.

That would be the cabaret group of Piwnica Pod Baranami, I guess.
One of the best concerts I’ve been to was in Piwnica Pod Baranami - Jan ‘Ptaszyn’ Wróblewski, veteran saxophonist.
