Wobbler has two albums in the Top Prog Albums (all-time) on PA. It's still early in this poll, but do the Wobbler fans not participate in these forums? I'm baffled why they aren't up there with Porcupine Tree.

Unfortunately, none of those obscure bands have enough points so far to make it into the Top 10, but there's still time.

Not a fan of neo-prog or current bigger bands, so this list is a bit obscure.
1. Godspeed You! Black Emperor 2. Guapo 3. Circle 4. Alamaailman Vasarat 5. Kuusumun Profeetta 6. Koenjihyakkei 7. King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard |

They’re getting there without Crisi’s help, at the moment. From 11th to 8th after just one more contribution. |

IQ (5 mentions) 5=.Koenji Hyakkei (4 mentions) 5=. Present 5=. Wobbler 8=. 5uu’s (3 mentions) 8=. Änglagård 8=. Beardfish 8=. Cardiacs 8=. Dream Theater 8=. Izz 8=. Marillion 8=. Neal Morse 8=.

1. IQ
2. Porcupine Tree 3. Big Big Train 4. Glass Hammer 5. Magenta 6. Haken 7. Lazuli top 5 was easy to choose but then it's tricky after that. Annoying to have to leave out the likes of Frost*, Muse and Anathema as well as Wobbler, Elephant 9 and Anglagard who are all brilliant but I had to take into account the quantity of releases as well as quality.

Ignoring Paul’s scoring for the moment, there are a few bands showing up on more than list (and, because I’m ignoring the scoring, I have included all the honourable mentions). The results are perhaps not so surprising. If all the bands with only one mention are removed, this is what is left:
1. Porcupine Tree (8 mentions) 2=. Anekdoten (6 mentions) 2=. Big Big Train 4. IQ (5 mentions) 5=.Koenji Hyakkei (4 mentions) 5=. Present 5=. Wobbler 8=. 5uu’s (3 mentions) 8=. Änglagård 8=. Beardfish 8=. Cardiacs 8=. Dream Theater 8=. Izz 8=. Marillion 8=. Neal Morse 8=. Riverside 8=. Spock’s Beard 8=. The Tangent 8=. Thinking Plague 8=. Transatlantic 21=. After Crying (2 mentions) 21=. Cheer-Accident 21=. Deluge Grander 21=. Echolyn 21=. The Flower Kings 21=. Frost* 21=. Magenta 21=. Miriodor 21=. Pallas 21=. Solstice 21=.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |
