FYI - I though I'd share with you all here in the forum what I wrote on my blog. Along with other topics on my blog (mostly in the field of theology), I try to introduce people to the greatest music in the world- Prog. So, please keep that in mind. I have about 2,000 readers per month, and through my years of blogging I've been able to "convert" a few people to Prog (how's THAT for a play on words!). 


That's cool - and hopefully a bunch of us have in turn exposed you to some new artists that are worth exploring.  Thumbs Up

Really, this is the raison-d'etre of the site IMO.

And I don't consider In Absentia a prog album at all.

There we are in major disagreement.  I don't believe that Prog is the greatest music in the world  (oh me of little faith).

What Jon, Stephen and Pat said Tongue

Although he forgot Jean Louis


I certianly do like that Jean Louis album.  I was even listening to it earlier today. I also should have mentioned Ahvak.

Pretty good list.  I would add some albums from the Tangent, The Flower Kings,  IQ's Frequency, and Doomsday Afternoon. Snow and Testimony are a little too high up for me but it is still a nice mention.   
Just give it all an hour by the concrete lake.

I see where I could agree that The Mars Volta are one of the more "progressive" (i.e., innovative) bands of the past decade. But for my personal list, they just didn't make it.

GASP! Isn't Kerry Livgren a bit too "religious?!" ;-)


Not nearly as religious as this guy.
