Just like bebop killed itself. It was just too fucking much after a while, all those fairies and mystical lyrics. OK, so there was an acoustic guitar in the mix to add class. I don't see the big difference with grunge. Nevermind was just as good if not better than any prog album I can name, and I was around for prog but too old for grunge. ELP and Yes laid some pretty big eggs in their time, and they were the cream of the crop. But yes, they were terrific musicians. With the exception of Gilmour, Pink Floyd were not terrific musicians, and I don't think they really fit the prog profile.
