I’m not at all into Genesis, ELP, King Crimson, VDDG etc.

Thoughts?

Are you in the right place?

LOL

Weird how he didn't mention Yes but I doubt he would like them either.

Understandable totally.

You've listed a lot of bands I like especially Anathema ,IQ and PT.

I guess you may have come across Magenta but if not then check out Seven for sure.

Again a very obvious one is Big Big Train but in the unlikely event you haven't come across them then I can recommend English Electric Part One and Part Two certainly.

A bit left field but you may like the indie prog band Mansun that made only 4 albums. Their most challenging is Six.

I might going astray a bit but what about Muse? Absolution is a monster of an album. Since then they have mainly concentrated on heavy synth based pop/rock but don't overlook Absolution because of that!

Matter of Taste - Chateau Obscure is another that has come to my mind, which is really obscure.

Also (recalled after checking the PA search facility),

Anubis - A Tower of Silence, Pallas - The Dreams of Men, Cosmograf - When the Age Has Done Its Duty, Subsignal - Touchstones, Knight Arena - Nine Paths, Docker's Guild - The Mystic Technocracy - Season 1: The Age of Ignorance are among the ones I like.

If you don't want to limit yourself with neo-prog, you may check some Kingcrow, Sieges Even etc.

Also perhaps Hemlock - Exordium might interest you. Less complex and full of emotion.

Perhaps Cirrus Bay albums might be interesting too.

Micky you inbred: What do you win? You already had your sister and your grand mom, doesn’t that count as a prize in your twisted dipsh*t world?

As to the other excellent suggestions, I look forward to listening to them. I had meant to listen to Quiddam in the past and they fell off my radar. Satellite I thought I would love but other then A Street Between Sunrise and Sunset, they didn’t click. The other suggestions are made of bands unknown to me. I will be checking them out. I would particularly love to find a band like Airbag. They seem entirely unique.

Thanks to all suggestions folks. Much appreciated

You mean Millenium, for sure (not mileneum, right?), cause that would be a valid suggestion.
Have you tried Anekdoten ? (filed as Heavy) - try their latest, from 2015, and/or go for the Chapters compilation which perfectly sums up their previous output.
Transatlantic could be another bet.

Satellite (whole discography)
Collage - Moonshine
Silhouette (whole discography)
Quidam - Alone Together

They first came to my mind.

I find it odd that you are not into Genesis, KC, ELP, and VDGG.....since the 'Neo-Prog' bands you named above have plenty of those other bands in their musical mix.
One does nothing yet nothing is left undone.

As a big fan of Neo prog bands, I can probably make quite a few recommendations.  I am a fan of all of the artists that you have listed.  One band that comes to mind is Freedom to Glide.  I think that they might appeal to a Pink Floyd fan.  They have released the third album in a trilogy.

Here is a sample from their latest album Seed:


And here is a link to their bandcamp page.  https://freedomtoglide.bandcamp.com/album/seed

See what you think, and I will give some thought to some other suggestions.

I'm not into Neo-Prog as defined by the site, but I have been very into Pink Floyd (especially early Pink Floyd) so sorry if I concentrate more on the Pink FLoydish angle than the rest, which is admittedly not the greatest approach. It would be pretty simple for me to make modern spacey/pysch suggestion that have some Pink Floyd vibe such as Lamp of the Universe but I wouldn't think that's quite what you're after.

Maybe you'd like PAUW:



And VSTRS:



But then again, maybe not, and I'm totally the wrong one to make a recommendation.

Check out the similar bands to Pink Floyd thread. Anyway, it sounds like you are mostly into modern prog so it shouldn't be too difficult to find other recent bands in that style. Have you heard Astra yet? Definitely look into them.

Since we have to have a label... and listens extensively to Airbag, Pendragon, Porcupine Tree, SW, Sylvan, Anathema, Frequency Drift, Gazpacho, Mileneum, (some) Marillion, IQ, and RPWL... suggestion for others in that vein? Groups that sound more Pink Floydish.

I’m not at all into Genesis, ELP, King Crimson, VDDG etc.

Thoughts?
