I'm not disputing any of this. But truth be told, there's a most profound difference between being influenced or encouraged by something - as in the examples you're mentioning - and stuffing a potato halfway down the throat of one's flowerpothat- and makeup-donning vocalist to "redo the Gabi-Genesis" sporting similar synth-patterns, similar this and similar that so as to actually recall the experience of the core act itself. Unfortunately, this is exactly what a bit too many allegedly "progressive" groups appear to be doing. And it is hardly artistically rewarding within the framework of a genre-objective whose standing rested on an attemptive level of creativity.
