Crossover. More interesting and diverse. There is only one neo-prog band I've ever returned to and actually liked - Marillion.

I don't know if I qualify as an avant die-hard but Avant is definitely my favorite prog sub-genre at the moment.

Crossover is up there though too. LOL

The only Neo I have is Marillion, which I like, but I have tons of Crossover.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

More or less. As against Supertramp, Tori Amos, Radiohead.  Steely Dan used to be in Crossover too, which alone would have been reason to vote against neo prog. Wink

Crossover is a favourite sub-genre and several of my favourite bands can be found in Prog Related and Proto Prog. That's the reason to why I came to the site in the first place Thumbs Up

Both. But because the sentiment is so negative about neo prog, I'm voting for that

Neo-prog...with a caveat:

When it's bad, it's REALLY bad, although it can be incredible!
Thank you, God of Rock, for this chance to kick ass

Hmmm, this one's tough.
 
I'll give it to Neo-Prog though.

I believe Crossover shouldn't exist, it is almost another Prog Related.

Definitely crossover because  most of the bands are crossover, but that does not make me like Neo any less so I won't dumb the genre down, some great bands there tooThumbs Up

Radical truth

The only thing I can add is neo-prog is mostly collection of Genesis clones,boring to death.

Ahh,yes, I am a avant-prog fan (as well as some other non-poppish prog rock)

There may be a bit of truth in this, but there are some bands and artists in this genre that should be moved to another Prog genre first (Mike Oldfield, Phideaux and Kayak, to mention a few).
I recently reviewed two albums of an artist who is placed in the Crossover Prog genre: the first of these albums might be classified as Prog Related, the last as Eclectic Prog (imho of course).
I think that, generally spoken, Crossover has more prog content than Prog Related.
 
Back to topic: no vote - yet. I have to think about it.
