About time too. (http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/the-sound-that-goes-on-and-on-after-30-years-in-the-wilderness-prog-rock-is-back-8057365.html)

Genesis, Yes and Emerson, Lake & Palmer (ELP) will lead a line-up of "prog rock gods" who will attend the first Progressive Music Awards, to be held in the verdant surroundings of Kew Gardens, next month.

The awards, created by Prog magazine, one of the few expanding publications in a declining print music market, will celebrate the pioneers, innovators and present-day torchbearers of the once-derided scene. Gavin Esler, the Newsnight anchor, who has confessed to a deep love of the flute-powered titans Jethro Tull, will present the awards.

Will Peter Sundae be satisfied?

Will Wallace be there?

Will report back when the results are in. :)

I had to chuckle when I saw it was a sit down dinner kind of do. Wonder if noodles are on the menu?:)

15 and a half minute ones followed by a drum solo from Chester Thompson. Is this going to be shown on the BBC I wonder? I really hope it is.
