To qualify as a "favourite artist", an artist needs to have released at least three albums that I have and like. This excludes a lot of excellent artists that for one reasone or another I only have one or two of their albums. After creating a list of qualifying artists, choosing ten from the list proved difficult. The ten I chose from the many I didn't choose was based more on recent preferences. My favourite artist is: 01. Van der Graaf Generator / Peter Hammill The remainder of the list is in no particular order: 02. Yes |

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

Impossible. Just impossible. I could select 10 favourites from each sub-genre alone. And then some. This question is not so easily answered, especially by me.

10. Steven Wilson/Porcupine Tree
9. Kate Bush 8. Trans-Siberian Orchestra 7. 311 (not exactly prog but they're childhood faves of mine) 6. Frost* 5. Ayreon 4. Rush 3. Neal Morse/Transatlantic/Spock's Beard (Morse Era) 2. Yes 1. Dream Theater This is just a rough, "off-the-top-of-my-head" ranking, the order here is definitely subject to change. Certain bands almost made it, such as The Flower Kings, Symphony X, Satellite, Syzygy, and several others (it's really hard to narrow it down to just 10).

I have a special interest in Scandinavian prog and Finnish prog is something I am always on the lookout for. Uzva is for me the best progband from Finland ever, followed by Pekka Pohjola, Piirpauke, WigWam and Tasavallan Presidentii. Other great bands include Taipuva Luotisuora, Hidria Spacefolk and Jeavestone. But there is so much more, I can't think of out of the blue (without googlesearching). But why would you say other bands are better than Uzva, when I list it as a favorite band? It comes over as rude and condescending. I hope you mean better than that. Have a wonderful day. |
