I'll be the first to vote and comment and I did not vote for one included in PA.

I went with Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Let Love In. Some other fave albums of mine include those by: Aphex Twin, Bondage Fruit, The Future Sound of London, Current 93, 5uu's and Fishmans, as well as Laika, The Cardigans and Koenji Hyakkei.

My winner is Bark Psychosis's Hex, followed by (in no order) Tori Amos, Aphex Twin, Killing Joke, and the Legendary Pink Dots. I think I know about half of these.

Popularity, or lack thereof, I guess.

Probably the first part does not need saying, but it wouldn't have been in part one anyway as this only gees up to L, but it's not one I have planned for part two either nor was at on a considerably longer list than I made. If it's consistently left out of polls, my guess is that it's just not very well-known or very highly thought of. I do know the name from the forum here.

If you look at rateyourmusic, it has mediocare ratings and not many ratings:
https://rateyourmusic.com/artist/mastermind

if you look at ProgArchives, again not very popular: https://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=237

I guess another question could be, why is not better known or acclaimed? I don't know, but there always so much good and popular music to cover. Was this band a biggish/ acclaimed name in the 90s because I only recall hearing of it as this forum? EDIT: by the way, I do immediately recognise the cover-art for Tragic Symphony, but then I have a decent memory for bands that get mentioned in the forum and images. Think it has been in a poll before.... We are all influencers at this forum so if you build more topics where you can share Mastermind music, well that might lead to people discovering and loving the music.    If you have a favourite track, please embed it in the next poll (where M bands start) and mention it as an other there, but please do mention any you like in these polls if you like any of them as well. Commonly happy to hear about, check out, and discuss others as well.

EDIT: I do like to try to work with this community and please, so I will add it to the next one, sorry Lush, but works well starting with M.

Well, I was a fan of prog rock in the 90s (although I did take a break from it for a little while then) and so I remember them and I still think some of their stuff was great. They are one of those bands (but not the only one) who has been lost in time so to speak. But it kind of pisses me off that other bands from the era get so much more attention and recognized than they do (Discipline) for example. I'll admit that if I first discovered prog in 2002 (or later) I probably would never have even heard of them. Being that a lot of people(mostly younger folks) discovered prog after 2002 (that's just an arbitrary date it could be a few years later or earlier) I can understand them not knowing about them. Probably more people should know about the band Ritual too for similar reasons but they aren't as neglected as Mastermind. Wink
