Genesis

Omg you guys, I REALLY, REALLY REALLY want to like these new bands.

But I have listened, and NONE have lived up to the OG’s!

Help!

Thanks for the suggestions. I will check them out. I might have missed it, but I didn't hear anyone mention Big Big Train. I bought their CD based on a recommendation, and I was disappointed. I seemed to imitate late 70's Genesis, but without the songwriting talent.

@Simonmoon x2 thanks for the recommendations especially the descriptions.   Will check out some.  Familiar with IQ.

Maybe not pure prog but I have been loving and impressed with Opeth's Pale Communion.  Amazing talent and sound.  Unlike earlier metal-grunting vocal style.  I'm sure metal heads will say they sold out.  

Love the my three sons avatar.  

So hard to recomend prog in the Genesis vein, but here goes, if you like early Genesis you might like these- 

Porcupine Tree "Stupid Dream"

Caravan "In the land of Grey and pink"

Strawbs " From the Witchwood"

Camel "Rain Dances"

@simonmoon - I saw Anglagard at Nearfest, three mellotron

viking prog, tho I prefer Anekdoten's spin on Viking Prog (my word).

All on utube but sometimes my favorite stuff took a few listens to digest and appreciate. 

If you like story/songs like 'Get 'em Out by Friday', I would recommend the one and only album called '9 Parts To the Wind' by a band called Strange Days back in 1975. Graham Ward, who plays guitar, sings, and writes all the songs would have been a perfect replacement for Peter Gabriel, in my opinion....
