I am also a big fan of King Crimson. Although I hated the later Genesis albums because of their poppish-sounding nature. I have listened to only a few songs after the 70's. For some reason, I like only a couple of songs by Yes. On the other hand, I absolutely adore Camel.
I guess you are right about Pink Floyd and Radiohead not being prog-rock. They should be categorized as Psychedelic.
When I used to listen to the famous songs of the 60's and the 70's from Led Zep, The Doors and Hendrix, I used to think that the music in my generation pretty much sucked. That is when I discovered progressive rock through Porcupine Tree, and so, it will always be one of my favorite bands.
There is still hope for Prog stuff, because the world still produces geniuses like Steven Wilson and Mikael Akerfeldt.
