the only album of those i own is 90125, and for obvious reasons i dont listen to it very often

any of those worth looking into, mind you i dont like the 80s sound, present in bands like Marillion

I voted Yes: 90125, but my real favourite from the 80's is, you've guessed it... "Dream Theater: When Dream and Day Unite".

None. The birth of the Ozrics is far more important to me - They created an entirely new form of music.

Not much on there I'd call essential, but Holger Czukay is one of the all time greats.

Moving Pictures - Rush

Duke - Genesis

Fugazi - Marillion

Levitation - Hawkwind

Script for a jesters tear - Marillion

Once around the world - It Bites

Tales from the Lush attic - IQ

 

Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Moving Pictures - Rush is what I would vote for...   King Crimson's Discipline comes second, and then everything else at a distant third.

Art of Noise and Moreira are here...

BUT WHERE ARE MARILLION, IQ, TWELFTH NIGHT, UNIVERS ZERO, RUSH, KING CRIMSON, ART ZOYD,...?

 

I won't compromise as I did in the very incomplete French prog poll... I'm not voting in here... or will I? Well, I'll vote for TANGERINE DREAM'S "Hyperborea".

its like a 40 car pile up here, prog went this way and
you guys went that away. Marillion, Dream Theatre,
IQ its ALL CRAP!!! Living in the past, wishing to
duplicate a time period. Folks this is where
progressive rock went, the Germans synthesized it.
The early 70s will never be repeated, move on and
dont miss what remained of progressive rock in the
80's. After that the record companies pretty music
snuffed it out.

If you havent heard these recordings you dont have
an opionion. I have heard the bands you guys are
whining about and they arent too exciting.

If Pendragon, Ayreon, Porcupine Tree, Dream
Theatre, Anglagard are so great why are they not
filling up stadiums like the bands before them did.
They arent on radio, because the old bands are
better, on and on and on. Do yourself a favor try this
stuff, if Im wrong big deal, if Im right you found more
essential music.
