25 "R" Lists Acts (this poll is rated R)

Top 25 "R-List" Artists on ProgArchives

The Red Masque, Ruins, and Runaway Totem. Oh yeah, and maybe Renaissance and Rush too. Hanging out at the hairball vending machine again.

For me Rush and Renaissance.

Rush and Radiohead.

Renaissance, no contest

Thanks for all of the replies.

A preview of acts that I will be choosing from for the S poll. It is one of the more popular letters in my collection. It is again missing various fairly popular Prog or possibly prog choices like Spock's Beard and Symphony X, but then choosing 25 is an almost ridiculous exercise even just based on personal tastes for the well-listened, and I encourage others to list what they like as well as choosing from my lists.

I do favour that which has excited me the most in my recent years, so that narrows it down considerably and I will try to make it more on the Prog side even if not all are in PA. For instance, Sufjan Stevens is a no-brainer for me, and I have been very into St. Vincent over the past year. Ones like Spirogyra, Schulze, Stringtronics and Supersister are perennial favourites for me. And of course my beloved Stereolab, Siouxsie and The Banshees, Swans etc.

I think they were one of a kind and brilliant for about ten years, and have been largely uninteresting, bordering on awful for the next forty. I've seen them live twice as well. I don't know why on earth I gave them that second chance, but they won't get a third.

Radiohead & Renaissance. I was tempted to vote just for these two as the next ones are quite a bit behind, but then decided to give the Residents the third vote, even though they are very much hit and miss for me.
