Wobbler and especially Magic Pie are going to go to even greater heights(I hope).

I voted for Magic Pie,great guitar driven symphonic prog.

BTW,I was very impressed with Mind Sky and their debut album Timewise.I look forward to hearing more of them in the future.

If Strangefish would get more exposure they could be pretty popular,their debut album is very good.

I don't know all the bands that are in this poll, but for me Riverside is really good and I hope to hear a lot more from them.

All of the ones you listed are good (The Mars Volta are an acquired taste but they are worth it), but my vote goes to RPWL.

Almost a toss-up between Riverside and Wobbler for me.  I voted for Wobbler, as Hinterland was an excellent debut and they show lots of potential.  Riverside's first two albums are both excellent as well.

Got to be the Mars Volta. Hopefully they will have a long career and be able
to continue their creativity for albums to come.

Im going to try and compare the new bands with exsisting prog bands from the past...


The mars volta - the next King Crimson. Pretty notisable with the experimentations and noises.

Wobbler - the next Anglagard. Retro sounds, vintage instruments,  "mellotron drenched"

Magic Pie - the next Flower Kings. Alot of prog cliches and very uplifting almost never sad

IZZ - sorry, haven't heard them

Riverside - The next Camel. Very melodic and soft but heavy when they supose to, and with 90's Camel voice

Oceansize - haven't heard them either

Mind sky - not yet

Coheed and cambria -  The next Rush. People who listen to them might not know their prog. Kind of like what happened with Rush at times, plus the vocals

Bonus

Guapo - the underdogs of the genre, keeping things cool and true to the genre. I really like their "about the band" article.

Is it just me?, or  is there a pattern in this so called "progressive" rock

If Mind Sky get a settled line up they could go far. Izz have got a killer album waiting to spring forth (My River Flows is good but not great)

Riverside diasappoint me slightly,to me the second album is a step backwards.Dont get me wrong its a fine album but this time last year I was predicting great things for them and it isnt going to happen on the back of Second Life Syndrome.

TMV are probably too off-the-wall for prolonged mainstream success but will continue to wow Prog audiences and Coheed and Cambria,though interesting,aren't really a Prog Rock band,yet.

Wobbler and Magic Sky are fantastic bands who could produce wonderful clasic Prog albums in the future,if they can sell enough records to us hardcore fans.They will never achieve mainstream appeal which is a shame.

The Mars Volta, unquestionably. They have already put out incredible, original and groundbreaking material, and will continue to do great things. Coheed and Cambria is going to be the band getting prog out in the mainstream, and make a great bridge for mainstream people to cross into the world of prog (and yes, they are prog). Also, I wonder what Coheed is going to do when they finish the story, but that's somewhat off topic. I'm sure Riverside and Wobbler are going to do some noteworthy things in the future, but not up to the level of The Mars Volta.

Out of those, TMV. They are doing something completely new and different from the rest, which is the ultimate progression, IMO.

So who is going to be top dog amongst the newcomers this time next year and why? Is there any band or project waiting in the wings that is going to "knock our socks off"?

Thoughts please.
