Again I decided to go over 25 choices. I was going to leave off the popular Pollen, Pulsar and Procol Harum as those are not ones I have been much into for many years, but wanted to leave some of the more popular choices, especially as there is no Porcupine Tree or Pendragon -- take away my "P" card right now.

Again these are some of my favourites, and I have longer list. I have not necessarily gone with the most relevant to me these days and I have gone very largely Prog. Bruno Pernadas is not in PA, but I think he counts, and I think he is brilliant. Portishead I just adore, and I still think relevant to Prog, especially for Third. All others I ended up choosing from my longer list are Prog, or at least are in PA (despite so much that I treasure that is not in PA). Note that Alan Parsons is really only here for APP, but that project I think should be put under A, despite being under P in PA, so I put the option as it is. So sorry for the doubling up again. Please specify in a post which acts you are voting for or voted for.

I encourage people to try to vote for three acts if have three they like, or one can vote for more or less. And I encourage people to not only list what they like in the poll, if applicable, but also favourites of yours that are not in the poll. And feel free to vote with limited familiarity.

Here is my longer list:

Paavoharju
Parliament
The Alan Parsons Project
Parquet Courts
Pearls Before Swine
Penguin Cafe Orchestra
The Pentangle
Pere Ubu
Perfume Genius
Linda Perhacs
Perigeo
Bruno Pernadas
Luis Pestana
Phew
Phoenix
Picchio dal Pozzo
Piero Piccioni
Pierrot Lunaire
Richard Pinhas
PinioL
Pink Floyd
Placebo
The Plastic People of the Universe
Plat du Jour
Pochakaite Malko
PoiL / PoiL & Junko Ueda
Pollen
Iggy Pop
Popera Cosmic
Popol Vuh
Portico Quartet
Portishead
Pram
Jean-Paul Prat
Premiata Forneria Marconi
Present
The Pretty Things
Julian Priester
Procol Harum
Protomartyr
Pseu
Ptarmigan
Public Image Ltd.
Public Strain
Pulp
Pulsar

Here are the past polls: 27 "O" List Acts & 27 "N" List Acts & 25 "M" List Acts & 25 "L" List Acts & 25 "K" List Acts & 25 "I and J" List Acts & 25 "H" List Acts & 29 "G" List Acts & 26 "F" List Acts & 25 "E" List Acts & 26 "D" List Acts & 25 "C" List Acts & 25 "B" List Acts & 25 "A" List Acts

Pink Floyd and PFM.

Placebo - is that the Belgium jazz fusion band or the 'British' alternative band lead by Brain Molko and Stefan Olsdal? (Molko was born in Belgium, Olsdal in Sweden although both grew up in Luxemborg before relocating to London and becoming British citizens according to Wiki). I would vote for the latter.

Pink Floyd, Alan Parsons, Procol Harum


I'd also give a nod to... 

Porcupine Tree, Pendragon, Pain of Salvation, Pagan's Mind, PRR, Panic Room, Poverty's No Crime, Pyramaze, Pantommind, Pallas, Pavlov's Dog, Parallel or 90 Degrees, Primitive Instinct, Proto-Kaw, Presto Ballet, PTS, Pathosray...  roughly in that order? 

although these days, I'll be honest there's only a few of those bands I listen to with any regularity... Embarrassed

I like/love most of the options here. Only certain about the two first votes:

Pink Floyd     
Popol Vuh
-
Portishead
The Pentangle
Julian Priester (for all his contributions to jazz, I guess he is in the top three, but not as a leader)
Penguin Cafe Orchestra
Premiata Forneria Marconi (only for their three first albums, in Italian)
Perigeo    
Placebo (the Belgians, and not that 90’s Emo-band with the nasal singer)     
Richard Pinhas (Heldon excluded I suppose?)    

-for one or two albums in particular/or I like what I’ve heard which isn't a lot:

Pearls Before Swine (mostly for The Use of Ashes)
Linda Perhacs (just parallellograms, really)   
Pierrot Lunaire (only Gudrun)   
Picchio dal Pozzo (much prefer their debut over the rest)   
Present (although everything is solid, I only relate to their two first)
Pram (only own one album: Museum of...)

Voted for five this time: Present, PoiL, Pink Floyd, Pollen, and Richard Pinhas. I need an expansion tank when I'm pretending to be a thermostatic mixing valve.

The Belgians -- I should have specified, even if Belgium is a dirty word. (those who know their Douglas Adams will know what I'm talking about).

Good to see you voting for one of the more unusual selections in the list. I love Pink and only covered those which I like, popular or not.

I was unsure if the collaboration between the American singer Pink ("So, so what? I'm still a rock star") and Floyd the Barber from the Andy Griffith Show would be appropriate for this forum.

Anyhoo, I'll give three votes too. One to one that has votes already, and the other two to so far unvoted options...

First vote is for Portishead. I adore Portishead, Dummy, the self-titled and third are all brilliant to me, and I love lives. And I love the related Beth Gibbons albums. I only really fot into Portishead in a big way over the past few years. Funnily, when my eldest brother visited from Australia last year, I asked him what he was listening to a lot these days, and he said Portishead. I had never known him to mention Portishead before, but then he was an influence on my tastes when I was growing up.

My second and third votes will go to Bruno Pernadas, again I adore music by him, and to the superb Penguin Cafe Orchestra. Those three have received many spins in recent years.

Penguin Cafe Orchestra - think different. Also the Pentangle, and who could resist a vote for Pink Floyd?

And also worthy of a mention are blues musicians Pink Anderson and Floyd Cramer who originally inspired the name Pink Floyd. Wink
