This is true. By all means write it and I'll give you my opinion on it.

Had a bit of a neo prog splurge lately. It appeals to me a lot more than certain other subgenres of prog, I have to say.

Here's my take on it;

Marillion- Script For A Jester's Tear, The Web, Forgotten Sons, Incubus, the first side of 'Misplaced Childhood'

IQ- The Last Human Gateway, Awake and Nervous, Outer Limits, The Magic Roundabout, Widow's Peak, Leap Of Faith, Failsafe, Sacred Sound

Pendragon- Alaska, Queen Of Hearts, The Last Man On Earth, As Good As Gold, Paintbox, Guardian Of My Soul, The Shadow, Dance Of The Seven Veils

Pallas- Shock Treatment, Rise and Fall, The Last Angel, Too Close To The Sun, Towers Of Babble, Midas Touch, Cross and The Crucible

Arena- Bedlam Fayre, Opera Fantastica, Solomon, Jericho, The Hanging Tree, Witch Hunt, A Crack In The Ice

As for Camel, I think that's an interesting point, actually. I think 'Nude' in particular is quite an influential album to the 'neo prog' boom, especially Pendragon. What I dislike is the snobbiness about neo prog bands and Camel themselves, just because it doesn't have tons of shredding or off kilter dissonance, which personally does little for me anyway.

IQ - The Enemy Smacks, Widow's Peak
Twelfth Night - Sequences, Creepshow, After the Eclipse
Marillion - Script..., Forgotten Sons, Fugazi, Grendel, and everything else with the Fishy one really.
Genesis - Behind The Lines (prior to Duke, Genesis weren't Neo, they were still evolving the old style).
I guess you could consider 1980s King Crimson to be part of the Neo movement, as the sound they evolved was completely new.

Another band that evolved their sound, but no-one really mentions it - probably because they maintained their identity and integrity - is Camel. "Stationary Traveller" may be plastered with 1980s production gaffes, but it's a kind of Neo-Camel album which separates their older sound from the newer sound.

IQ /// IT ALL STOPS HERE

I'll be waiting for your version Stonebeard.
