Did anyone notice a certain prog development in Spain (especially the Prog Andaluz), Italy (RPI), and Japan ( featuring keyboard wizard Toshio Egawa)? In  my opinion these 'movements' are not less worth to be mentioned than the neo-prog!

I'll add to what the others have said.

Kansas, Dixie Dregs, Happy the Man, Saga,  Pallas, Pendragon (and John Wetton, Bill Bruford solo) are all far to irrelevant to get included in this small time line.  Some of the germans started their own scene ca. 69. As early as the brits, and earlier than Genesis and Yes released any prog. And Van der Graaf were just as early as both of them.

Really, apart from Zappa (maybe Beefheart, Mahavishnu & The Residents, not many US bands are that important.

And what's this line from Pink Floyd through/kraut/space/electronic to Kansas about!!??

Your 1990 to today choices of bands is the strangest I've ever seen.

If you want to make it more complete, you also have to include more genres.

Also, dutch prog (do you have a name for that?): Focus (huge in the 70's with 5 top 30 albums and 2 top 20 singles in the UK) and Rick van der Linden's Ekseption and Trace.
What?

I say you listen to every opinion here. Then when your head stops spinning, put on a CD or record & let that spin for a while. Then go back to your original idea, which seemed interesting & best of all, it looked like you had put more thought into it than most , if not all of the resulting posts.
Kansas is the # 1 US prog band. Popular, yes; but check Echolyn, is there a certain mid-west influence ? The neo phase was made up in good part by the groups you mention, so again it fits well with your original idea.
I pray for your first intention, I hope for your perseverance, & I await the results with impatience. Go get 'em !

Are you, like, saying that Pink Floyd inspired Focus and Tull? I'm confused. But intrigued.
