At the moment, it looks like we're going to have an endless debate about what constitutes modern prog, instead of anyone actually voting in the poll. Tongue

I included the description  "post-70's" prog bands in my intro. Wink

the only problem I have with Paul’s post is his nomenclature.

I think, especially given how much focus the bands of that era get both on PA and outside it, that a thread about bands that are only post-‘70s is a good one. Just, don’t call them modern, when to most people (although obviously not Paul) modern means something more recent than something from four decades ago….

you can say that again! Smile
Modern prog includes Marillion too. Smile

Marillion is a 40 something years old. How is that modern?
A band that has started making music in 2001 is 20 years old. 

Now do you understand the confusion? 
Sorry to be Captain Obvious again, but Marillion are a 198s Neo-Prog band, and Neo = New = Modern Prog, as opposed to Classic Prog from the 1970's. So there you go. Tongue

You missed my point. 

You can rename the thread and make it less confusing.
Just name it "favorite post 1980 prog band".

Not necessarily, but anyway, I'm on my way here. Smile

A bit later:
I thought, it would be ok to do it when concerning post-70's, but I quickly found out, no way man.

So, no contribution from David here, afterall. Unhappy

All Neo-Prog is modern to me at my age. Tongue

Now's your chance to name your Top 7 modern, post-1970's prog bands. Simply list your Top 7 modern prog bands in order of preference below and then I'll assign the usual system of points to your listings, and remember, it's *bands only* from the modern era who released their first album any time from 1980 onwards, so we're in Neo-Prog territory here. Good luck and may the best band win!  Thumbs Up

First Band:- 12 points
Second Band:- 8 points
Third Band:- 6 points
Fourth Band:- 4 points
Fifth Band:- 3 points
Sixth Band:- 2 points
Seventh Band:- 1 point

Here's my Top 7 list to get the poll underway:-

1. Mostly Autumn (12 points)
2. Magenta (8 points)
3. Solstice (6 points)
4. Pallas (4 points)
5. IQ (3 points)
6. Porcupine Tree (2 points)
7. The Tangent (1 point)
