Pendragon: the only good music they produce is nothing but a bunch of quotes from Genesis. Their truly original music parts are just ugly on the ear, and their vocalist has a binary vocal system (he can deliver only two notes). 
The Jewel is barely listenable.

Zombi: Electronic Prog duo from the land of Uncle Sam. The two streaming tracks on PA are an encouraging listen that Zombi may be worth checking out more fully.

Talisma: Good Canadian band influenced in everybody, from J.S. Bach to King Crimson passing by Fusion, recommended.

Nektar: interesting late psychadelic band with hard rock and progressive tendencies...excellent songwriters known for conceptual albums, like the onw in Peter's avie (maybe their best album....definately the best cover).
This one is dedicated to The T because he likes the obsucre ones 
Pierrot Lunnaire

 Sorry -- I've actually got a few of his albums (PA's uber fine-music fan Danbo got me into him).
I'll take it: Steve Unruh is a very talented multi-instrumentalist with a hard-edged, almost metallic guitar sound, strong political convictions, and an impressive lyrical vocabulary. His CD Out of the Ashes is especially worthwhile! 
I thought I'd make up for my earlier too-easy Beatles post, but here, i'll go with something more in-between those two extremes:
NEKTAR
Good game, BTW!

Area 51, this prolific band's world-renowned 51st album, was not (as many wrongfully assume) named for the supposed US airforce top-secret UFO research facility -- but it does reportedly feature an uncredited alien on pecussion and backing vocals.

Atomic Rooster - Vincent Crane on keys ... brilliant! I am surprised there is only one streaming file available here in PA from Atomic Rooster's first five albums ... I may just have to do something about that

Haven't heard Mythos... But aboput Cairo, I had their first CD... I love a song called "Silent Winter"... their music is not the most original ever but it's good, some ELP, some Kansas... the singer Breett Douglas appears in two Trent Gardner side-projects: Explorer's Club 1 and Leonardo...
As I didn't say anything about this unknown band, I'll p[ost it again for somebody who knows,
MYTHOS

Never heard of them ... but checked out their PA listing!
Found out Cairo are influenced by ELP, Yes, Kansas & Styx. I have listened to the mp3 track 'Corridors' from the 1998 album "Conflict And Dreams" ... an enjoyable listen without being anything outstanding. It may be worth seeking out some more of this band's work.

ABBHAMA
Isn't he a Democratic candidate for U.S. president.
Queen made 4.5 beautiful albums, then developed 80's-itis like several other bands who I will not mention here. I will close with an open note to Brian May.
Dear Brian,
Putting Paul Rodgers in the position formerly filled by the immortal Freddie Mercury is like letting your dog pinch a loaf into some alluminum foil, wrapping it up and calling it a Hershey bar. Sure somebody might be stupid enough to buy it and eat it, but they will feel cheated and dirty pretty quickly.
Love,
Tapfret
Ok, new band. Well, one mans obscure is another mans obvious.
How about....Cairo?
