Yup, the first four would easily make it to rank 11 to 14 in my list (below)

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 |

As a fan of Finnish music, big thanks for bringing this band to my attention. Somehow I had entirely missed them until now.

You're welcome! I hope you enjoy them. They're both fragile and intense, often at the same time. The singer ia a Finnish version of Peter Hammill. No kidding.

Only 7? I'm always a little torn in these "Top" polls over listing the bands that I recognize as most important to the genre of Prog Rock, and the ones I just personally like the most. This list is something in between, I guess: 1. Marillion 2. Anglagard 3. Riverside 4. Steven Wilson 5. IQ 6. Opeth 7. Big Big Train |

simply not enough albums. for me the same problem goes for Anglagard and Par Lindh Project. 'PLP' made 3 masterpieces but barely register interest on the forum at all. I included Lazuli because they are remarkably consistent and produced 10 albums or so to date. Consistency and Quantity v Quality is a difficult one but all my choices have at least 6 studio releases to their name. Doesn't have to be a rule but I've made it so
