of the german bands trying to sound like english progressive bands I would say Jane - Together is probably the best example. Trilogy - Here It Is being the most original of the keyboard driven bands, IMO.

Voted for Neuschwanstein – Battlement Miracle a disk, a miracle songs. The present(true) pearl art-rock The disk is not worse than withering teachers - Genesis/ Whence Marillion scooped ideas |

It is true that best of German progressive was in the area of fusion or spacey, experimental or avant-garde rock. Not much of Kraut is readily sorted under symphonic rock. Novalis - Banished Bridge Eloy - Silent Cries.... Grobshnitt - Solar Music Live Jane - Together Ramses - La Leyla I am not sure for Eloy if they should be on this list. I would also rank on top any of first two Mythos albums if they were symphonic. Hoelderlin is more folkish and IMHO generally boring band. Overrated - Neuschwanstein Beyond Overrated - Triumvirat

This is not a German prog poll. Read again - this a symphonic only poll so bands like Eloy, Ash Ra, TD, Popol Vuh, Kraftwerk... had to be left out. |

It's a tie between Sommerabend und Rockpommel’s Land.

I don't know all of these bands but Rebekka is my favourite out of the ones I know. I think this is an essential album for fans of Renaissance.

Not having Eloy on the list makes the poll meaningless, it's like not having Genesis on a 70's Brittish prog-poll....did u just forgett about them or what????

of those listed SFF - Symphonic Pictures kinda blows away this pack, but I dont consider them symphonic but kosmiche, although they do fall on the symf side of that definition.

Wrong album for Holderlin ('s Traum) Read my recent review on Rockpommel's land (get the debut or Solar Live) Also my review on Sommerabend. German rock was so much better in the first part of the 70's . Much more progressive/experimental. |

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

Mine is perhaps, Novalis. But the majority of the others are also great, indeed, including of course, Neuchwanstein. Does anybody can burn to me Anyone´s Daughter "Adonis" album? this is currently out of print, as far as I know and I just can´t find and buy it anywhere. Have a large cd colect to trade in return. Please contact me privately to: [email protected] Roger |

Germany is generally known for kratrock/space rock and electronica.
However there are also some symphonic gems. What is your favorite?
