Following the Saga-Triumph poll Excluded Rush, bien entendu  ------------- 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 |

Clearly the proggiest of those is CANO, whose first three albums are pearls of Prog Folk, but I have a soft spot for FM's debut and the second Direct To Disc (don't care much for the rest) All the others are not that much more than prog-related , but I did choose their proggier moments
Ooooppppssss, fixed  More FM (that elusive second album for 35 years until the reissue a few years ago) |

Rick Emmett is a very able guitarist and vocalist, but Triumph is not Prog in any fashion. ------------- A curse upon the heads of those who seek their fortunes in a lie. The truth is always waiting when there's nothing left to try. - Colin Henson, Jade Warrior (Now) |

What about 'Symphonic Slam' (Timo Laine), He deserves a place on the list more than Triumph, Max Webster, Cano or A Foot in Cold Water IMHO. But for this poll...Saga. ------------- Thank you for supporting independently produced music |

Neil Young. I don't give a damn if he's not "prog", as neither are some of those you listed. His career has been one long progression.

FM. I have never understood how they could still be in prog related. Their first 4 albums are prog, albeit in a crossover vein, and they were from 1977-1981 when a lot of prog band were no longer prog. Love CANO also

Yeah, point taken  , except for CANO (they're full prog for their first three)...... but I might have specified bands with more than one album and a fairly high profile, or else I could've cited True Myth, Nucleus (a fave of mine), Bent Wind, Cargo, Spirit Of Christmas, Klaatu (that one escaped me, actually ), Lighthouse (escaped me too ), Plastic Cloud, and a few more |

I like FM's Headroom (1978), and FM is the only possibility for my voting. ------------- quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond |

Max Webster over Triumph. That had to be a double bill here at some point. The Rebel Wheel from Ottawa is a band I discovered just recently but are well worth mentioning. Not seventies though. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

Since Rush is not an option here it's Triumph all the way. For a time back in the 80s, my one/two bands were Rush and Triumph. ------------- We all dwell in an amber subdomain, amber subdomain, amber subdomain. My face IS a maserati |

Better to be an Ontarian band than an Octogenarian band. I vote for Saga - for the over-fifties.

Isn't Neil Young part of both ?

Yes, Neil's 78 now, so he's in his eighth decade with almost as many years in the music business. Long May He Run.

CANO by far. Au nord de notre vie is super viby. A briliant pastoral prog-lite album sung in French so Canadian that even I can hear the accent. xD My fave song is the jazzy version of the nursery rhyme Frère Jacques. ------------- “On the day of my creation, I fell in love with education.
