the Canterbury scene was ace (esp Caravan)
Genesis et al were not.

I love all the stuff from the late '60s / early '70s
When "progressive rock" first became a widely used description - when it could be used to describe Camel, The Doors, Hawkwind, Quintessence, Pink Floyd (I guess even Black Sabbath at a push...), but then it was used because they were experimenting and trying to do something different. Unlike the bloated, Genesis/ELP/Yes monstrosities where it just seemed to be about how long you could stretch out an epic solo before your orchestra started to lose the feeling in their fingers.

I could have written that ^
I agree wholeheartedly.
