...according to Prog Rock Mag. Which is funny as the last few Pink Floyd albums are the best example I can think of of Prog Rock by numbers. IMO there's plenty of great modern music for people to discover (and it's much easier to discover than ever before). If he's thinking about "X-factor"/ pop then this section of the market existed long before now, even when Floyd were releasing Atom Heart Mother, just watch and old edition of TOTPs. I don't know why people get so upset about it. As long as I'm not forced to watch x-factor then good luck to them.
