Now's your chance to name your Top 7 modern, post-1970's prog bands. Simply list your Top 7 modern prog bands in order of preference below and then I'll assign the usual system of points to your listings, and remember, it's *bands only* from the modern era who released their first album any time from 1980 onwards, so we're in Neo-Prog territory here. Good luck and may the best band win!
First Band:- 12 points Second Band:- 8 points Third Band:- 6 points Fourth Band:- 4 points Fifth Band:- 3 points Sixth Band:- 2 points Seventh Band:- 1 point Here's my Top 7 list to get the poll underway:- 1. Mostly Autumn (12 points) 2. Magenta (8 points) 3. Solstice (6 points) 4. Pallas (4 points) 5. IQ (3 points) 6. Porcupine Tree (2 points) 7. The Tangent (1 point) Edited by Psychedelic Paul - December 19 2021 at 14:38 |

Modern is anything post-‘70s? That’s a rather strange definition of modern! 😄🤪

All Neo-Prog is modern to me at my age.

A bit later: I thought, it would be ok to do it when concerning post-70's, but I quickly found out, no way man. So, no contribution from David here, afterall. Edited by David_D - December 19 2021 at 13:31 |

Marillion is a 40 something years old. How is that modern? A band that has started making music in 2001 is 20 years old. Now do you understand the confusion?

Sorry to be Captain Obvious again, but Marillion are a 1980's Neo-Prog band, and Neo = New = Modern Prog, as opposed to Classic Prog from the 1970's. So there you go.

You guys make a good point but I see where Paul is coming from. Maybe "post seventies" is a better descriptor.

You missed my point. You can rename the thread and make it less confusing. Just name it "favorite post 1980 prog band".

At the moment, it looks like we're going to have an endless debate about what constitutes modern prog, instead of anyone actually voting in the poll. I included the description "post-70's" prog bands in my intro.

the only problem I have with Paul’s post is his nomenclature.
I think, especially given how much focus the bands of that era get both on PA and outside it, that a thread about bands that are only post-‘70s is a good one. Just, don’t call them modern, when to most people (although obviously not Paul) modern means something more recent than something from four decades ago…. |

Well, that’s what you get when you throw about that description. If you wanted to discuss post-‘70s bands, then the easiest way to avoid arguments is to keep it simple, and call them post-‘70s bands. Otherwise it just looks like you were baiting (and Cristi and I bit), and let’s face it - you are in a bit of a boy who cried Wolf situation here. You have some renown for being controversial simply for the sake of it, and calling anything post-‘70s modern you must have either been incredibly naive, or expecting argument. |

I thought the description "Modern Prog Bands" would be less controversial than "Neo Prog Bands", but maybe I was wrong.

modern prog and neo-prog are two different things.

But then you also have modern history beginning in 1500. Modern art starts in the 1860s and ends in the 1970s with art after that called postmodern or contemporary. Modern is a weird word. The English language is weird too. And so am I.

That's what I'm saying. I DID call them post-1970's bands in the intro, so as not to cause any confusion.

Well, considering not every band on your own list is neo prog, does that mean you consider anything post-‘70s neo prog, regardless of what anyone else thinks? Because modern prog is not the equivalent of neo prog, and I really do think you know that. And yet, you wonder why people accuse you of trolling? 🙄 |

Maybe I should get my coat and close the door on my way out. On a positive note, it looks like Mostly Autumn are most likely to win this poll, seeing as no one else has voted yet.
