Well, I have probably 100+ favorite bands, including experimental/avant-rock bands..... 

Thank you very much for your answer. It told me very much and very obviously, easy to understand.

I'm very impressed, as well, so well formulated you write, and so well you explain things, Enigmatic. I'm surely looking forward to your further participating in PA forums.

I can say the same of the niche of music I listen to. At least some avantheads participate in forum discussions related to the genre, how about the black midi thread?

Many other threads, especially modern prog, get little to no response.

But Grumpy, you can't blame other people for the taste they have.

You can influence others with your taste, but I don't think, you can do it by critism.

In general there is not enough traffic on this site to delve too heavily into niche so indeed we end up with an endless role of Genesis and Yes polls it seems.
I for one though do appreciate recommendations and checked out the ShamblemathsII album as a result of a thread created about. However if you put your head above the parapet then be prepared for some f**ker to blow it off lol!

I've given Schlagenheim a new listen, but I must say, it's not exactly my cup of tea - even it can happen that I'm fond of a Math Rock album, like for instance Shellac's at ACTION PARK.

Try Cavalcade, it's very different from Schlagenheim.

How about the French Taal's Skymind?

Don't know them, off to explore
I wouldn't call Taal an avant band, but I would call them excellent. I have both albums and esteem them highly.

The cover and RYM's "Avant-Prog" label don't look promising to me, but I'll give it a listen. Smile

Surprised to see Hawkwind not in the top 20.
Do people here not view them as prog?  Or are they not especially liked by members?

Hawkwind are currently stranded on 28 points, so they're still a long way from making it into the Top 20. 

Only two other PA members (Gentle and Giant and Enigmatic) have so far included Hawkwind in their Top 10.

Love Hawkwind but they're not in my top 10, I like a lot of bands.

I completely forgot about Manfred Mann's Earth Band

Comparing to the toplist I've done and to all other toplists which can be made on basis of all the ratings on RYM and PA, this one is unique as it's about bands and not albums.
And I think, it would be good to know how many persons have voted, and, to be perfect, maybe all the names of the voters.
