but I do think you have to consider both Radiohead and Sigur Ros as part Prog, yet they are both something way more as well. (Oh yeah, and how bout RUSH, Mick? They aren't British, but then again they suck!) I think Radiohead and Sigur Ros prove that you don't need to lift lines from Tolkien or display ridiculous guitar or drum solos to be called Prog. God that's all we need is another silly song about dragons or the middle earth and a ten-minute drum solo. And yes Dale, they are a bit Ambient as well. But Sigur Ros doesn’t use electronic keyboards, per say, Mr. Eno. BTW, If you like Ambient Electronic music, check out an artist named Ulrich Schnauss, his two solo discs are the warmest sounding electronic records you have ever heard, Beautiful stuff! A wee bit hard to find, you will most likely have to order it online. I’ll try to find a link so you guys can check his stuff out.

Cheers, Kevin (R.I.P. Prog!)
