1. Seconded.
So start posting better music. I've been trying, but I can't singlehandedly do it.

3. Agreed.

Well, I'm neutral on Prog Rock, but the Rush threads are getting waay too much.

Anyway, here's a shameless link to a mediocre video of me playing a Rise Against song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHVSmrKhq30 :D

7. I wouldn't know a Prog Rock if someone threw one and hit me on the nose
with it, so I got no dog in this particular fight.

9. I'm not sure I can back a total moratorium on prog rock
Would it extend to weird, folky prog-rock like Jethro Tull or Peter Gabriel-era Genesis? That stuff's earthy and listenable.

What about the more respectable end of fantasy prog-rock, like Rick Wakeman's Journey to the Centre of the Earth or Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds? Those are actually pretty cool. Prog rock wasn't all Emerson, Lake, and Palmer shit.

10. Only prog I would allow would be The Mars Volta and Coheed and Cambria if you wanna call them prog.
Ironically Coheed kinda sounds like Rush if they grew up listening to punk rock, but they're way more fun to listen to than Rush.
