I don't really get why its even a question. It's a cultural thing, not a contest. .... I'm English, but if it were not prog, then it might have been C&W, If that kind of abomination happens to you, you just gotta go with the flow and accept that your weirdness is not geography, it's just who you are as a person. Different smokes for different junkies.
Stand up and fight, for you know we are right
We must strike at the lies
That have spread like disease through our minds.

Yeah, I did that, sorry :(

Seriously though, I know we all want to be the best at something, but when, for instance did anyone ever hear an Indian guy claim to throw the best hoedown?

I should probably apologise, I just viewed an old thread where there was a debate about the origins of prog.... I'll shut up now.:(

Paraguay! Just kidding. How can any other nation compare to the UK. More outstanding bands per capita than any other nation in history and i'm talking every genre! Ok maybe not jazz :)

Russia or North Korea?

That's honestly a bit surprising.
 
I do like a bit of Russian ballet though when I'm in the mood. Smile

was it Andorra or Liechtenstein?
No, it was The Vatican. I like a bit of Pope-Rock every now and again. LOL
Then you should check out Papal Vuh. Very recommended. Clown
 
Papal Who? That's Pope-tastic! I shall endeavour to seek them out by papal decree. Smile

The early days of prog were doubtlessly shaped by what was produced in UK. But once you look past the years of 68 through about 75, the sources for consistent, quality prog leave the islands. I would say the last 25 years most of what I enjoy is coming from France, Japan and Norway.


I have difficulty answering the question because it's, purposefully I guess, so vague. To which I might say to myself, "Try an approach that works for me and go with it."

Maybe France, Italy, Germany, Japan, or, excuse my French, Belgium!*

I'm going with France, as for me there seems to be fairly consistent quality to my ears across many Prog varieties over the years. Vive la France! I am something of a French patriot even if not French (my family name came from there, Normans actually and the old viking in me still goes berserker now and then, but we dropped the "de" a long time ago).

* Douglas Adams readers might get this.

If fusion counts as prog rock, then I will go with the US, if not, then obviously the UK.
