A simple idea: French Prog outside their national sub-genre...

Even if all french Zeuhl bands were on the poll, I'd still vote Ange. Hug

Very tough choice here. I'm very close to go with Ange but I'll go with Taal. Skymind is one of the most essential modern prog albums out there.

Other bands that would make my choice even harder are Thork and Ocean.

There are two bands who have called me their biggest fan, and Delusion Squared is one of them.

Gojira for me, but quite a few bands from France that I really enjoy.

Sloche counts right? If so -  then their 2 albums edge out the others by quite a margin. If not.. Taal.

Sloche? They probably didn't record any abum with 50+ reviews on PA - this is my basic criterion to include them here.

it's because Sloche is from (largely) French-speaking Canada (Quebec).  It's a matter of being French language rather than from France.

Anyway, Art Zoyd and Igor Wakhevitch are two particular favourites of mine from France, but I love a huge amount of progressive music from France (makes up a big part of my collection).

Art Zoyd (I think they are somewhat borderline with Zeuhl), Pulsar, Black Noodle Project and Nemo are very good bands, too.

My top French bands not listed here are: Xang, Motis, Seven Reizh, Magnesis, Progression by Failure and Patrick Broguiere, all havuing superlative albums to their name.

Ponty, Ange, Pulsar, Atoll and Mona Lisa are all legendary. 

Nemo and Taal are the new boys in town. 

Then you have the one shot wonders Acanthe, Angipatch, Arachnoid and Pentacle.

Lots of great "musique" 
I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

BTW, Syrinx shouldn't be missing on that poll.
