They mentioned Transatlantic, but I don't recall seeing any Spock's Beard or Neal Morse solo stuff...
But yeah, there weren't many songs from the last decade or so on here. And number one was totally deserved.

You're welcome
LOL I never said it wasn't deserved, just that it was definitely going to be in the Top 5 or Top 3. When I kept seeing non-SR songs in the top 20 from Genesis, I knew it was going to be number one as I got closer to it.
Either way, yes, I agree, it is pretty great in the world of prog, so for many fans, it should be number one, but it by no means doesn't take away from the predictability of its placement.
And (per the horse's mouth via Twitter) some are complaining on Facebook (what else do you expect from that cistern?) about too much modern prog on the list. *shoulder shrug*
TOO MUCH modern prog? By memory, wasn't like at least 66% of the list all songs from before 1990? Aside from Haken, Transatlantic, Marillion, and a few others (like Frost* and The Flower Kings), there weren't a WHOLE lot of modern prog songs on there. Maybe if I have time later, I'll do a list-by-year for the 100 songs and see what the stats look like from there (unless someone else here wants to beat me to it).
