Thanks. I had interpreted your "out of these" comment as something like "There are "A" bands not listed here with an initial trio of albums that I appreciate more than any of these." So it led me to wonder, "What are your faves not listed?"

I was thinking of bands you might enjoy. EmbarrassedTongue

Antimatter - they've never released anything weak IMO, you can try any of their work, their earlier work has some ambient influences, but they can be classified as atmospheric rock, the vocals are great, Mick Moss has got an interesting voice/vocals, quite unique sounding. 

Airbag - another band with no weak album, Guimour inspired guitar work  but done right, also very pleasant vocals.

Anubis - don't let the neo-prog tag that PA has for them discourage you, there are another influences in their music, so definitely not run of the mill neo-prog. 

 Alex Skolnick Trio - Testament guitarist (also in Savatage for a couple of years, helping out after the death of Chris Oliva) went and did a few jazz albums, initially doing jazz covers of famous songs, quite fun and eventually did some original songs. 

I realize there are quite a few "A" progressive metal bands, but I don't think you'd be interested. EmbarrassedSmile

Art Zoyd in this poll coming just above Arena (would've picked them had the selection included later albums), and then I would put Amon Duul II (which might have also landed higher for me but requires revisiting) Smile

Out of these, I would have to vote for Arena, although I don't listen to them much at all these days.. personally, their best trio of albums were Immortal? - Contagion - Pepper's Ghost with Rob on vocals, but I never really liked their first two or much afterwards. They aren't very original and at worst, they can sound Neo-Prog by numbers... not in the same league as IQ at all.

If I were to have chosen an A for you to have thrown as a sop to us lightweight populists, then I guess it would have been either Anathema or Amorphis, both of whom have strong back catalogues...
