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.

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...  ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me.

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?) 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...)

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. ------------- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - Duos for fave acts |

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.------------- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - Duos for fave acts |

Penguin Cafe Orchestra - think different. Also the Pentangle, and who could resist a vote for Pink Floyd? ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

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

There is that too. Just think, if Pink Anderson and Floyd Cramer were able to team up with Pink (the US singer) and Floyd the barber from Andy Griffith's Mayberry, they could form a Barbershop Quartet that might even make what hair David Gilmour still has stand on end! Nothing wrong with his hair, but he doesn't have the luscious locks he once did which makes Rattling That Lock a little less satisfying imo. ------------- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - Duos for fave acts |

I wanted the two together in the same poll option, and I discovered both bands at about the same time because both the French Canadian Symphonic band Pollen and the French band Pulsar released albums in the mid 70s called Pollen. I love me some symmetry. And In fact, I discovered both Pollen albums at about the same time. Pollen: https://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=909" rel="nofollow - https://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=909 Pulsar: https://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=291" rel="nofollow - https://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=291 Pollen is a band from Quebec that is included in Symphonic Prog at PA. It was formed in 1972 and released the self-titled album Pollen in 1976. Pulsar is a band from France that is included in Symphonic Prog at PA. It released the album Pollen in 1975. It might be a Francophone thing. ;) I think that quite a few here would like this if they don't know it already from the band Pollen off its album Pollen. The album is a bit patchy for me these days and sounds dated, but I used to really like it and it's a real pleasure listening to that track again. It kinds of encapsulates so much that made me fall for Prog. Vive la Quebec. ------------- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - Duos for fave acts |

When I first saw this list it was PFM and Pink Floyd standing out but I also knew they both would get lots of votes. So I went with Placebo, Plat Du Jour and Picchio Dal Pozzo. Not a bad top five actually. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

| Truth is I like Pink Floyd most, but with 25 votes they don't need me. Instead I can give Pram their first vote and support PoiL and Linda Perhacs (could've been a handful of others, Present, PCO, PdP, Popol Vuh and I also do like Pulsar). |

^^ No worries, including multiple acts in a poll line is not ideal, and that was bound to cause some confusion. Limiting to 25, which is the maximum number of spaces allowed, is usually hard for me (for say, X, getting it to 25 would be a challenge). ^ I was about to say the same about Portishead when I saw your post after refreshing the topic (often takes me a while to compose and post posts).  ------------- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - Duos for fave acts |

Votes went to Pink Floyd, PFM, and Poil. On the popular side, Porcupine Tree would have gotten a vote. In the also mentions, Phideaux and Primus.

Still rocking that Present album avatar after all these years.  It's such a great album. Good to see you around again. Incidentally, The "Poison that makes insane" (aka Le poison qui rend fou) is the perfect Present to give this Valentine's Day to that ex who left you for your best friend's wife.
