Re: Prog without trying to be

Well let's be clear about one thing. Whether a band is a copycat or clone band is ultimately up to the individual. Some might not consider bands such as the Flower Kings, IQ or Marillion to be clones while others would. Also if a band wears their influences on their sleeve does that make them a clone band? Personally, I prefer as much originality as possible but if a band pays homage to their influences without deliberately trying to mimic them that's ok as long as they have enough of their own sound to not be easily identified as a clone band.
