Yes, I suppose there may be difficulties in "grasping" those albums if a listener's most elaborate stance on the rock/pop experience was Genesis or Yes, but luckily progressive rock music moved way beyond that already some 40+ years ago - although this might not reflect in the roster playing Progstock. It is NOT about being or feeling like an idiot, it's about merit and a frame of reference alone.
2] Numerous bands - many somewhat more radical in sound than Gentle Giant and Genesis - did that exact thing. But we don't need new posts or threads on it, as such are featured regularly in here. Whether or not they are actually read is a completely other matter, I guess.
