Following on from other discussions on here relating to Genesis in particular, how many of you have been/are fans of prog bands such as Genesis, Yes, Emerson Lake and Palmer, Pink Floyd etc.?

I was a huge fan as a teenager, but also loved dancing. It was an impossible combination because at the time there was nothing that really floated my boat dance-music wise, yet the skill and inventiveness of these and other similar bands gripped me totally but was nigh-on impossible to dance to properly.

It was a delight to me to find, years later, bands such as Underworld and Orbital taking the prog influence a step further and creating truly awesome dance music with it. Or at least that is the way I saw it at the time.

What are your views, if any? And have any of you tried mixing any Underworld tracks with any prog stuff?
