I believe that punk was more a response to 'corporate rock' (Journey, Boston, Toto, REO Speedwagon, etc), than to prog. The temporary downfall of prog was mostly collateral damage.
But prog has made a strong comeback starting in the mid 90's, and continuing on a steady pace since then. So, I'm happy! It's just no longer in the mainstream.
Excellent points. The MTV bands: Guns & Roses, Nickelback, Slipknot...
More style than content. 'Nice video, shame about the song'.
