I'm not crazy about most British neo prog with the exception of a few albums here or there, like "Believe" by PENDRAGON and "The Visitor" by ARENA, but Polish neo prog - well that is another story.  COLLAGE, SATELLITE, BELIEVE, MR GIL (all 4 of those groups are related) and ALBION are all excellent IMO, and MILLENIUM is pretty good too.  I am also a big fan of the Swiss group CLEPSYDRA, not to be confused with an Italian group of the same name.
Thanks, Mr Levine. I personally don't know any Polish (or any non-English) neo bands, thanks for including them here. Big smile
By the way, I, despite frequently forgetting about it, have finally bought Pendragon's Love over Fear. It sounds great, I strongly recommend it to any who hasn't got it yet. Smile

The first Abraxas album is quite good as well.

^I second that comment. Abraxas' debut was the first Polish album I ever bought, back in the late 1990s.

I've been meaning to check out Abraxas as well.

Re those Polish bands I mention, most sing in English, though Collage sang in Polish in the early years and one Mr Gil album was in Polish.  One of the Albion albums was also sung in Polish.  One thing I love about Albion is they are a bands that happens to have a female singer, as opposed to be a #bandwithfemalesinger if you know what I mean.

I really like Arena, up until the Peppers Ghost album, they aint so good on that album and beyond it.

I also like the odd song from IQ and Pendragon.   The Nolan and Wakeman albums are good too.

Ive tried to get into Marrilion too, but all attempts there have failed so far.
What Marillion did you get?

I didnt get any of their albums, ive tried listening to songs of theirs on places like youtube, and on the progressive archives site when you could stream songs on there, and apart from Kayleigh, not one of their songs i got into.   Dont ask me which songs i streamed and from what albums, cause i dont remember now.
Kayleigh was a bit of a one-off song for Marillion... and, if you get the early rough mix of it as I have, the album version actually sounds a lot different and a lot less proggy. There's a theory that Marillion's record company put pressure on them to make Kayleigh much more like a pop song. So if you only like Kayleigh out of what you heard, Marillion's probably not your thing... and neither, probably, is the rough mix of Kayleigh! Wink
A question directed towards the Marillion fans of PA: Who here is agreed that Blind Curve is the best ever Marillion song?

totally

I remember when that came out and being shocked when I heard it on the radio it was so good. Side Two of that album is very special.

Slightly ironic, really, since Albion is an old word for Britain.

There is more neo to discuss than Marillion, IQ, and Pendragon.

if you had paid attention, you'd have seen they were talking about polish neo-prog just a little while ago. 
So no, obviously, it's not just about those 3 bands. 

And Marillion has become for some, a band that's cool to hate or something... Dead

I have paid attention. A few posts about Polish neo-prog and then it diverts back to Pendragon. Ugh. When will we discuss the bands I mentioned?

BTW, did you drive Psychedelic Paul away again?

^ Sylvan is great
Frost is more crossover than neo-prog, but they're good.

You're right, there is more neo than Marillion, IQ and Pendragon. I'm new to Sanguine Hum, but it sounds very good, thanks for mentioning it here. Smile
Any Pallas fans here?
Oh, and since when has Cristi driven PsychedelicPaul away? Confused
