Porcupine Tree hasn’t been so much over the past 10 years, but Steven Wilson has been.
Prog is hanging on by a thread.
No magic offensive words for me.
I guess one way to tell whether something is artistic is to see if your conservative friends get it. If they don’t, it might be artistic.
“Artistic” is...
How much hip hop do you listen to? Not that you are the target audience for most artists in that genre. Words are just a means of communicating to me and I don’t really get offended by them....
It has improved since my generation.
Some people just let their opinions get firmly established and don’t remain open to the changing sounds.

The penultimate paragraph sums up the Eagles very well.

Me too, but only when the music is good. I especially like it when they self produce and are original.
The Eagles are terrible.
