when will progressive rock music/art rock become recognised as musical contributions?

I believe these kinds of bands, together with other artists like Steve Vai and Eric Johnson, are not so popular in the mainstream because they are a little more virtuosic, improvisational, and experimental (instead of playing what they think will sell) with their musical expression than most rock music fans are used to. Though they have a Rock sound and look to them, their approach to writing songs and performing is more like that of Jazz musicians (real Jazz, not "Smooth Jazz") so the average rock music fan can't really understand or appreciate it. That is why most of their fans are other musicians, because they understand the level of technical difficulty that goes into executing the things these artists do.

Definitely.  I bought the album when it first came out and it's superb.  They're not one of the greatest bands in the world, but they have a lot of charm, their music is engaging, accessible and slightly poppy and they rock live.

As far as I've heard they're not working on anything just yet but they should be in the near future. But don't rush it; they've been known lately to have some big time gaps between recent albums lately. Why that is I don't know, I guess the mainstream's a lot different from the underground days.

Try the Italian band Rhapsody, or even Dream Theater. Fates Warning and Prong are pretty good too. In a more mainstream note but still awesome nevertheless, you can't go wrong with Iron Maiden and Rush.

Vangelis weds new age and rock pretty well. The stuff he did with Jon Anderson (Yes)was really accessible and moving.\n\nListen to progressive rock as well as jazz influenced music (Steely Dan/ Emerson,Lake and Palmer/Santana/Yes) and you'll eventually distill the best of each into your own unique sound.
