It has been updated - see the edited OP. Big smile

It can happen that it'll be updated/changed a bit again depending on how it goes with this thread.

Everybody doesn't have to know that, Atavachron, and anyway, why to react like this?

I wasn't laughing at that member, I was laughing at how obscure eclectic prog really is -

Sorry for the trolling -

Okay, not that I agree, but you're still welcome to become a member of this club, and can be appointed as an Honourable Member, as well. Big smile

Don't be so sure about that, as there can be some special circumstances/reasons. 

Actually, the members list is on its way, and it'll prove otherwise. Smile

The Honourable Members are (in the order of the degree of The Big Three appreciation):

Nogbad, Someone and David 

Additionally, following members have been appointed as Honourable:

When talking about The Big Three of Eclectic Prog btw, it can be mentioned that Steve Hackett is a kind of Big Fourth - I think.

When talking about Eclectic Prog as a genre, I've noticed something interesting about Polish Prog Rock in the 70's.
The Polish albums on my list here are about all the Polish most well-known and highest rated/mostly internationally 
appreciated to be, which indicates that Polish Prog in the 70's was mainly Eclectic - at least as classified by PA.

News update:

A bit disquieting rumour says that members of EPFEC are sometimes called "Friends of ITCHYCOCK". Embarrassed

When it comes to Eclectic Prog, Steve Hackett is my #1 choice and none of "The Big Three" are even in my Top 10. Smile

My Friend!? This statement puts your appointment as Honourable Member in danger. Stern Smile

That's okay. I'm probably more suited to the Symphonic Prog club. Wink

Well, concerning myself, I could be even more fond of Symphonic club than Eclectic as well. Smile
