I'm interested in exploring those prog bands whose entire careers began after the 1970s but ended before the start of this century.  Bands who "fell between two stools".
 
Suggestions?

You mean what has been labelled Neo Prog? (We have an entire sub genre devoted to it in the archive)

Partly - but not including bands who continued iinto this century, such as Marillion.
Also, of course, many bands of other subgenres were active during that time.

Mr. Bungle fits the criteria.  Happy The Man did an album after the '90's and got started in the '70's. Wink  Neo-prog has not confined themselves to that period.

Mansun are a favourite of mine. They only made 3 albums then decided they had enough during the recording of their 4th album ,before an internet petition by their fans got it released.
 
Attack Of The Grey Lantern has to be one of the most 'out there' debut albums.
 
Scary stuff:
 
and a great Beatles pastiche

Ah, the intertestemental period of prog.

The 80s were certainly a difficult time for prog

Many prog bands still formed and were successful before the new century.

I would have said Marillion but they are still going!

Just for the record these albums from 1983 were reviewed the most favourably 

Depois Do Fim – Bacamarte

Script From A Jester’s Tear – Marillion

 

Tales From The Lush Attic – IQ

 

Crises – Mike Oldfield

The Final Cut – Pink Floyd

 

Baby Snakes – Frank Zappa

 

Peter Gabriel Plays Live – Peter Gabriel

 

Logos Live at the Dominion London – Tangerine Dream

 

90125 - Yes

 

The Text of Festival - Hawkwind Live 1970-1972 – Hawkwind

 

 Heads or Tales  - Saga

 

Art Zoyd - Les espaces inquiets

 

Title in Limbo (1983)
 
After Dinner - Glass Tube (but this is 1984)
 
 
 
 
 
A long listed was posted of alternatives:

Belew, Adrian    Twang Bar King    1983
Brunninghaus, Rainer    Continuum    1983
Cocteau Twins    Head Over Heels    1983
De Grassi, Alex    Southern Exposure    1983

^ not all of those artists "came and went" in the last 2 decades of the 20th centry though, some began in the 70s and some are still with us.

yeah I know and that's what makes it difficult to respond to this thread.

I must admit i am not that knowledgeable about which artists finished before 2000 having started in the 80s, I thought Saga might have been a contender but they are still about too I think.

Interesting thread....

I think Sky is the only one in that list that fits the criteria. Scratch that, their debut was 1979.Embarrassed

I know this twenty-year period misses both 'great eras' of prog, but surely there were lots of bands whose entire output happened during that time?  More than a few, at least?

Eider Stellaire, Dead Can Dance, U Totem, Lacrymosa, Wha-Ha-Ha, After Dinner...

These all have one great albumrelease in the 80's and nothing else. Hardly a career:
