Because the Canadian Day was the day before yesterday, I made this poll. If your favorite is not in the poll, vote for "others" and post the name of your artist in the replies.

I gave my vote to Druckfarben this time. Their latest album geva them a higher ranking on my list. Others: Rush, Hamadryad, Harmonium, Klaatu and Saga.

I'm sure one band will Rush away with all the votes. For me, it was between Harmonium and Maneige. Given that I play Les Porches more than Harmonium, I voted for Maneige.

I was tempted to put "other" and nominate folk-rock outfit Great Big Sea, but since they aren't prog, I'll be predictable and vote Rush.

I wanted to vote for the excellent Machines Dream (from Sault Saint Marie) but it says "cannot vote in this poll"?

You need 50 posts before you can vote, it's to avoid the annoying trolls who use multiple accounts to spam these polls.

Voted for Unexpect.

Plenty of great bands on the list, but it would be kind of silly if my vote didn't go to the band listed first.

I have a soft spot for Klaatu but voted for GY!BE 'cause their first record was like nothing before it, then they backed it up with another just as brilliant.
 
Kind of surprised you didn't include A Silver Mt Zion, Do Make Say Think or Chilliwack though.

Thanks for the answer. Guess making another 48 posts just saying MACHINES DREAM and then voting would be frowned upon Wink

I think their debut was awesome - listen for free at http://machinesdream.aurovine.com/ - 

Eagerly awaiting the follow-up Immunity.

Any of you guys know them?

Indeed. They'll get 90% or more of the vote easily. The last one of these I voted for Voivod but I'll vote for Maneige this time.

Mahogany Rush does indeed deserve an honourable mention.

Agreed this band is excellent, and relatively little-known at the moment. Not yet on the site, but recently cleared in Crossover: http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=98493. New album is now mixed and should be released fairly soon, along with a re-issue of the s/t debut.  Thumbs Up
