Woodpecker from Mars is still a favorite exercise track for me... love that one from the first FNM album. When I heard them, King's X, and Nine Inch Nails, I remember thinking that prog's best hope for survival was genre crossover. Interestingly, crossovers did do pretty well (especially on the backs of Radiohead), but prog survived on its own in the underground too with the advent of the Internet.
