8 "Q" and 18 "U" List Acts

I skipped Q before knowing that I would combine it with U later -- those two letters go well together and Q is not a popular letter in my collection. I was going to just have 25 options in total this time, but then just now I remembered Urban Sax, which I used to be very into and feel like playing again. So I combined Ur Kaos and Ut Gret, where one can vote for one or both (please specify in a post).

If applicable, please choose three acts, or more, or less, from this poll (from all Q and U options together) of some of my favourites to vote on and mention in a post, and please mention any of your own favourites. I encourage commentary and discussion on any that you think apply.

Note that not all are in PA in the poll and in the masterlist (the majority are), but to me they have significant enough relations to be sufficiently relevant to a forum of Progressive rock enthusiasts. Umiliani would be the one one of these that I might question being added to PA.

Looking forward to seeing what people like on my poll and/or mentioned in this post, and what other favourites people have. I hope to maybe discover something from others thanks to this or be reminded of something that I genuinely forget (I usually do forget ones that I later think, ah, I should have included that or at least mentioned it in my OP). Thanks again to all who have participated and all of the great comments. It has been a joy for me to read so many of the posts.

1. Ultimate Spinach

Today I feel like going with five:

Univers Zéro
Uboa
The United States of America
U Totem
The Unthanks

The only one of those not in PA is The Unthanks as Uboa was added not that long ago. I shared this track in the Interactive Polls, this is wonderful (top notch modern folk group, from the 2015 album, Mount the Air). The Unthanks did the music for the modern TV version of Worzel Gummidge.

Well, I forgot all about The United States of America and their eponymous 1968 record is rockin' a 4.17.

Quicksilver. One of my favourite bands. John Cippolina’s guitar sound is unique. Gary Duncan’s no slouch either.

Voted for Quella Vecchia Locanda and Už Jsme Doma. This soup has a sort of Lagrangian taste.

Queen, UK, Utopia

^ HI< just suggestion since lot of people get code in their post, I made a topic on the issue at the beginning of the year. And it also shows how to manually use BB code for the forum with the editor disabled See https://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=132330

"What has worked for me is (when logged-in) to go to Member Control Panel (near top left of from screen), then click on Forum Preferences, then I clicked on the "No" option for Enable the WYSIWYG post editor before updating the profile.

That does mean that you have to manually tag urls to make them hyperlinks and manually tag videos to embed them (and manually tags colours), and you don't export rich text when pasting etc. but I have been fine with that."
