25 "A" List Acts - Progressive Rock Music Forum

Getting around to voting in these. Opted for Amon Düül II, Area, and Arzachel.

Area!!!

The Prog Corner

Voted: Art Zoyd, Rabih Abou-Khalil & Area

I think if I were to make a top five these would take up the following spots: Amon Düül II (but it pains me to leave them out of the tree first) & Aphex Twin

-followed by: After Dinner, Aksak Maboul, Air

+ two one album wonders: Archaia & Arzachel

...and outside of my top ten is: Abus Dangereux - but only because I find their second and third album somewhat lightweight and forgettable. Love their debut just as much as anything by those "who made the list".

I listened to the Automat-suite for the first time in years just the other day. I've played it twice in the last couple of weeks actually. Thorougly enjoyable, but the B-side is a little patchier imo.

-I've fallen out of love with Dagmar's voice, and cannot listen to an album with her singing in full anymore. But Art Bears is top quality of course, and I can still enjoy the odd song or two every once in a while. Except for the three bands I've yet to hear: Alio Die, The Antlers and Jupiter Apple - I do enjoy music from every option in the poll.

It wasn't easy to narrow the list down to just 25 favourites. I started with over 40 to begin with. Smile

And I forgot to mention Agitation Free. I forgot that for my list and then again from your list (sometimes I can't see the forest for the trees). Malesch was the first Krautrock album I really got into.

Duos for fave acts

Argent, Atomic Rooster

Amon Düül II

Atomic Rooster

Anekdoten would be in my list. From my country: Akineton Retard

^ Yep, that's the one.

Duos for fave acts

^ I have enjoyed Agusa, especially for last year's Prima Materia, and Astra too. I don't listen to Atomic Rooster much either, but Death Walks Behind You is one of my preferred albums, and more-so especially one of my favourite title tracks in PA's Heavy Prog category.

Duos for fave acts

Amon Düül II, Arachnoid and Area.
