I think that a good chunk of Neo, modern Symphonic, and a dose of crossover would all fit under the dad-prog banner. Currently listening to Magenta's The Twenty Seven Club and this certainly fits the bill.
Bah, humbug, my son always asks me what albums are new and good. He grew up with Dad's music which meant every genre under the prog banner, which translates to his latest find Wishbone ash...Argus instead of Katy perry's roar.
I have that on vinyl - The flying saucer & Guard with helmet & spear - Brilliant cover and good solid hard rock if I remember - must get it on CD when I get a round tuit!

If I remember correctly, the debut got equally positive reviews when it first got out - and in the wake of the second album, even more folks chimed in to sing it's praises. My guess is that you're in for a real treat.

I suppose there will be some grumpy-old-men on this site - who may take offence, they'll be mumbling about young whipper-snappers not being around when Gabriel was a lad... I just thought it was funny - my son's are always taking the piss out of what I wear/listen to/watch on telly - so it's like water off a ducks back, I am just wondering if CoE first CD is as good - I ordered it a week ago and it still hasn't arrived Grrrrr.....
Brilliant thread title Barney, and I hope you don't think of my "dad-prog" term as being too derogatory. It was said tongue-in-cheek.
Another one that could qualify is I and Thou's Speak, an album I really dig actually thanks to my friend who kept playing it for me. Anyway, it's got all of the characteristics of what I'd call dad-prog, yet here it works for me

Right OK - So if Comedy of Errors - "Fanfare & Fantasy" is to be the paradigm for CD's in this fairly General Genre...What other CD's are in this collection?
