whomst?

Because they made incredibly geeky, deliberately inaccessible, esoteric music with a goofy image
The music is great but nobody in the general public wants to be associated with that shit

Literally everyone in Prog was ugly

Goofy image? They were not Oingo Boingo or the B-52s. Medieval seems more like it.

You're looking at a 50 year old man. He's done with prog though.

That's kind of what I meant - not intentionally goofy, but a lot of people likely saw it as over-the-top and ridiculous

WILSON IS A GOD TO ME

Because you won't even say their name or title the image your posting, so no one can know who they are.

What's there to even say about this? It's like they were from another planet. Imagine having band members who could play 5 instruments at least...
