The sixth best-known Nolan (after the five Nolan Sisters). Are there any British Neo Prog bands left that Clive Nolan hasn't been involved with at some time over the last forty years? Not many. Yes, it's England's answer to Ayreon! Clive Nolan has the singular distinction of being the youngest ever musician (aged 16) to gain a diploma at the prestigious London College of Music. The prodigious number of bands Clive's been involved with over the years reads like a veritable Who's Who of Neo Prog:- Arena; Pendragon; Shadowland; Strangers on a Train (with Tracy Hitchings); NEO; Gandalf's Fist; Caamora (with Agnieszka Swita); Casino (with Geoff Mann); Nolan & Wakeman (with Oliver Wakeman); and finally, Nolan & Barrett (with Nick Barrett). No doubt it would cost a King's Ransom to own Clive Nolan's entire discography, so why not delve into some of the free Hidden Treasure below that Clive has sprinkled with his invisible touch of keyboard Alchemy on YouTube. It's magic! 

The Grand Wizard of Neo Prog presents eleven albums of epic rock opera with a cast of characters longer than the biblical epic, Exodus, and all sprinkled with Clive's magic fairy dust, and that's just for starters. Smile

I do not know, but you can edit your posts, I do that when it occasionally happens to me. Smile
I guess it depends how you post, is it a phone or a laptop, the browser. I'm using Brave for PA and a few other sites and I've rarely had any problems.

I guess I'll vote for Arena. The concentration gradient of the boll weevils gives me gas bubbles and cationization of cotton.

I'm also using a Brave browser, but I've had unwanted computer gobbledegook showing up in my posts today too. Confused

Some legit classics in this poll. I saw Arena at ProgFest '98 in Los Angeles (the same fest John Wetton Band played the next day), and they were fantastic.

But Casino is one of my favorites. Two words: Geoff Mann.

1. Casino (RIP Geoff)
2. Songs from the Lion's Cage
3. Jabberwocky
4. The Jewel
5. The Key: Part 1 – The Prophecy (RIP Tracy)

Nice poll, Paul.
No hesitation in voting for Casino; Geoff Mann's brillliant spiritual allegory perfectly matched to Clive's powerful score. Very sad to think that there could have been more of the same...Cry

not really the sort of thing I listen to much these days, but Arena...
