Hi, I don't dislike them at all, but the album that is best for my ears is TO THE WORLD OF THE FUTURE which is more interesting but still shows a band trying to work with the girl singer or not. I don't think they ever cleared that up, although her voice was really important in their start.

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Thanks! On account of the renewed interest in this poll, it might be a good time for me to organise a Top 12 German prog albums poll too.  |

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

^ No, it's simply that there aren't enough hours in the day to listen to everything and I've mainly been featuring Dutch artists from the golden era in my Classic Clog Prog Blog. I'm currently on the letter "F" for Focus, so I still have a long way to go to reach the end of the alphabet.

Nice list and thread however I noticed you only have 2 entries from after 1987. Do you really not like any Dutch prog that much from the last 35 years or so?

I'm not really qualified here as I don't know enough, but some others have posted lists with albums from four bands only, so chances are I'm not alone. I'm doing it because my favourite Dutch band KONG is missing up to now; I'll just amend their discography with a few other albums I know... (I also know Ekseption and Flairck, but I don't like them that much. and I'll put Association P.C. in despite not being sure about whether they should count as Dutch.) Association P.C. - Erna Morena Kong - Phlegm Kong - Earmined Jan Akkerman - Live Montreux Kong - FreakControl Kong - Merchants of Air Focus - Hamburger Concerto Jan Akkerman - s/t Kong - Push Comes to Shove Supersister - To the Highest Bidder Association P.C. - Sun Rotation Kong - Stern |
