Sorry there weren't any Danish sizzlers on my list, but at least I still have a half-century of The Savage Rose's albums to look forward to hearing for the first time. Smile

When looking closer at my list, it shows that of the modern Prog, the American is my fave so far, while even not
one Danish album has found place in my heart yet - but neither British or German, and only one Italian, so my 
national Prog preferences have completely changed, for whatever reasons.

Paul, I'm sorry to tell you that as fond as I am of the British Prog from the 70's, the modern one 
has completely lost me so far.

After having looking at the toplists I've made, it certainly doesn't seem to me accidental that you made so relatively many US discoveries from this decade.

I've listened to two bands so far from my first  "Recent Prog Discoveries 1980-1999 list (The Par Lindh Project & Citizen Cain) and Simon Says I should' start with Sweden on this list too. Wink

Swedes is the English name for the rutabaga root vegetable, England played like a bunch of root vegetables, hence turnips.

You must have read my mind. I was just about to mention Sanguine Hum, having added them to my playlists after you mentioned them recently. With a name like Sanguine Hum though, I had no idea they were British up until last week. I've also added Sanguine Hum to the list at the top of the page, along with Haken. Thumbs Up

in terms of the last few years or so

Far Corner
Elephant 9
Kaipa
IZZ

not many as I was already was well aware of bands from that era (or started then)

I could add Anathema as I discovered them about 2015-16 time but that's not 'recent'.

not a long list lol

Mine would be

Pikapika Teart
The Future Kings Of England
Sleepytime Gorilla Museum
Aranis
Yugen

I'm sure it won't surprise you to know that I've never heard of any of those five bands. Embarrassed

Yes, Sweden has beaten England 5-2 in this line-up and Das Boot is on zee other foot for the Germans too with only one band (Sylvan) in the list, and having included a Russian band (the ironically named Little Tragedies), I couldn't forget my Ukraine Ways with Karfagen. Smile

^ Thanks for the recommendations. From your list, I've listened to all of the albums by Anekdoten, Ayreon, The Flower Kings, Frost*, Porcupine Tree, Spock's Beard, Steve Hackett, The Tangent, Transatlantic and Wobbler. 

Echolyn and White Willow are already on my Recent Prog Discoveries list for the years 1980-1999. Thumbs Up
