former east europe prog bands

I can recommend Odcień Ciszy by Tadeusz Woźniak. It's an extremely underrated album IMO.

East Germany had Stern Combo Meißen, Lift and Electra.

My favorites:

If memory serves me well, long time ago when opening the list of bands starting from any letter (A, B, ...) countries were clickable, and after the click we could see the list of all bands from the country on PA, regardless of the genre. Then this feature gone. I guess that's why Moris made his listing by country.

Off the top of my head here are some bands from eastern europe that I love

Strange, I get results (and I wasn't logged in).

Filter by country might have been disabled at that time for top albums, but we did lose the country page, and my former teammate Moris did do great work with that.

It's much easier now, I think, to use the filters in top prog albums to find albums and bands of interest (especially as classic bands are wanted) -- in case Poito has not used this, though I would expect he has:

You can choose multiple countries, multiple years, favourite subgenres etc.

I have actually received a ton of fantastic recommendations from members of this forum, and many of those have been the greatest"discoveries" I've made, but different people have different experiences. It helped that people already had a good idea of the kind of music I like (and don't like) or understood the kinds of music I was specifically looking for, but I've also had some quite unexpected recommendations of types of music I haven't delved into or requested which turned out to open up new worlds of music to me. I'm always looking for recommendations in music/film/books/ television etc., and always hoping to turn somebody on to something I like (then it becomes more of a shared experience than discovering things in isolation, if you know what I mean -- a more sociable event, so to speak).

From Romania, this is a major favourite track of mine:



It's off Marius Popp's Panoramic Jazz Rock (1977) and is the most prog track off the album (thanks to Harmonium-ro for recommending it to me years ago).
