I am asking about your favorite artists from any genre, not just prog.

Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)

Pallas formed in 1980 a matter of a couple of years after the classic period and 40 years ago, hardly 'modern', how about 'non-classic era'? |

Actually, are we including solo artists as well? Because my list will definitely need to be adjusted if that’s the case

BANDS (not solo artists etc) 2. = IQ Rush 4. Big Big Train 5. Tangerine Dream I would normally include Yes and Genesis but I seem to be listening to them less and less nowadays. For personal/emotional reasons I will always be an ELP fan and at their best they stomped over everyone even if they were horribly inconsistent. Other bands I really care about: VDGG - virtually the only band that gives me goose bumps anymore but I feel that too much of their music is samey. Gentle Giant - a wonderful enigma and certainly the purest expression of what music (not just prog) is about but still coming to grips with them. The challenge is on! King Crimson - I love and hate them equally. They are probably THE prog band for intellectuals and musos but I hate their 80's stuff and Fripp being a major pain in the bum doesn't help lol. Porcupine Tree - I like a lot of their stuff but not quite enough to make my five |

In alphabetical order, non-prog included:
Black Sabbath The Fall Pink Floyd Sielun Veljet (Finnish 80s post-punk) Van Der Graaf Generator If non-prog/related (The Fall and SV) were left out, I'd add: Captain Beefheart Jethro Tull If non-prog only, I'd add Sonic Youth and a couple of Finnish bands no foreigners know about. |

Van der Graaf Generator
As for the remaining four artists, it's impossible for me to say because I operate at the album level rather than the artist level. In other words, none of the criteria which I might use to choose favourite artists seem appropriate to me. |

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.
