I agree that old progressive rockers can rehash their old music and be
laughed at, or go commercial and make lots of money without pleasing
anybody.  However, there is another alternative.  They can still do
progressive rock, but instead of rehashing their old music they can
expand and update it to produce a fresh, new and exciting progressive
rock.  An example of this is King Crimson's "Discipline", but maybe
it's too much to expect from Yes, Pink Floyd, Genesis and Asia.
Perhaps it's a hope for something like this that keeps us listening
for these groups' new releases.  Maybe we even think we hear something
interesting sometimes when we really don't.
