Some of these bands are more overlooked than others and some are more strongly recommended than others, but all of them are recommended. I will add more songs to the list in the future.

Enjoy!



Cruachan is the only band not on PA.  (kind of folk metal)I am glad that you put this great band Galahad

Indeed. They are being evaluated for Prog Metal at the moment after my suggestion.

They are great yes, but I'm realizing now that they only offer extracts on MySpace so I have to remove them from my list as I only want to include full songs. Too bad. But there are full songs available here on PA.

I've just started listening to a Welsh band called Legend http://www.stevepaine.org/index.html or http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=1054876 and I think they're brilliant. A sort of Genesis crossed with Hawkwind sound and the lead singer sounds a lot like Toyah.

They are indeed brilliant! I love Legend! They don't seem to get a lot of attention here, but I have reviewed all of their three studio albums plus the recently released live album called Playing With Fire, originally recorded in 1992.

My MySpace list of overlooked bands (for link see above, two posts up) also includes three songs by Legend.

Legend are working on a brand new studio album at this very moment! It will apparently be called Cardinal Points and it will be their fourth studio album overall and their first since 1996's Triple Aspect (which is their masterpiece).

I do not hear a lot of Hawkwind in their music, though. Legend combines Symphonic, Folk and Metal influences; sublime female vocals with "pagan" lyrics. Triple Aspect contains a nearly 30 minute long, conceptual song!

Maybe not Hawkwind then, but some of it does sound quite space rock. I bought the Ritual Echo album and I'm convinced there's a touch of Gong about some of it. It's hard to classify something though.

I came across a sort of spacey alternative type band a while ago called Denied Light. Probably prog-related at best, but in my opinion some very excellent music. Free download too!

I recommend.
 4Front, a progressive Rock Jazz Band. Magellan, Transatlantic, Explorers Club, Flower Kings. Enchant has some good stuff. And last but not least is (Planet X) especially their latest album Quantum.

IEM sounds like Psychedelic/Space Rock with their ethereal synth laden background mix. Thanks for the hyperlink. I'll checkout some of their other stuff.

Hey guys, 

Seeing as this thread's dedicated to recommendations I'd like to suggest my band Quandary:

www.quandaryband.com

We're an Australian band that I think fit most closely to the neo-prog genre.

I've submitted us to the archives but still waiting on a response.

One of the most beautiful album ever made ! 76 minutes of happyness. Not very progressive in the songs but in the unusual lasting (in 1969) of some of the pieces and of course in the sructure of that album (introduction, body, conclusion).
