The best still playing? Camel is still the best - saw them live this year, and "A Nod and a Wink" is excellent; King Crimson - their new release "Power to Believe" is the best in a while, Porcupine Tree - except I'm not that wild about "In Absentia", Mostly Autumn, Gordian Knot, Chroma Key; OSI (which includes personnel from the previous 2), Tunnels, Bill Laswell (and most of what he's involved in), Steve Hackett, Flower Kings. Those are my favorites now.
Some that have produced good recordings in the mid-late 90's but I'm not sure are still recording include - Robert Wyatt, Bryan Eno, Marillian, Mike Oldfield, . . . oh, yea - Pink Floyd
I do still miss some of the 70's acts though - Caravan, Gentle Giant, Genesis, Man, Strawbs
that's the ones I could think of for now . . .
