At the moment, it looks like we're going to have an endless debate about what constitutes modern prog, instead of anyone actually voting in the poll. Tongue

Well, that’s what you get when you throw about that description. If you wanted to discuss post-‘70s bands, then the easiest way to avoid arguments is to keep it simple, and call them post-‘70s bands. Otherwise it just looks like you were baiting (and Cristi and I bit), and let’s face it - you are in a bit of a boy who cried Wolf situation here. You have some renown for being controversial simply for the sake of it, and calling anything post-‘70s modern you must have either been incredibly naive, or expecting argument.

That's what I'm saying. I DID call them post-1970's bands in the intro, so as not to cause any confusion.  Wink

No, you didn’t. The title of the thread is for Modern Prog Bands, and your OP mentions post-70s only in brackets which makes is look like a qualification, rather than definition. If you truly didn’t want the confusion, you would not have mentioned the word modern at all, because you wouldn’t need to. Simply stating post-‘70s would have sufficed.

Anyway, I'm going to wing this and see where it goes...

1. Spock's Beard
2. Present
3. 5uu's
4. Thinking Plague
5. Anekdoten
6. Beardfish
7. Izz

Edit: By the way, I think my 5-7 positions could vary widely. There are a LOT of great bands from 1980 to the present. My first four spots could easily interchange with each other depending on the moon [I mean mood, ha ha]. I almost wanted to put Present first because I've really been digging them lately, but Spock's Beard was the gateway band for my returning back to prog in the 1990s.

I’d have to think about what the rest would be, but I guess the number one for me would be Tool, simply because they were the first modern prog band I got into, and even though I rarely listen to them these days, I still have a great deal of affection for their music.

So,

1. Tool

The other six might come along later, if I can decide just who they might be,

you can say that again! Smile
Modern prog includes Marillion too. Smile

Marillion is a 40 something years old. How is that modern?
A band that has started making music in 2001 is 20 years old. 

Now do you understand the confusion? 
Sorry to be Captain Obvious again, but Marillion are a 198s Neo-Prog band, and Neo = New = Modern Prog, as opposed to Classic Prog from the 1970's. So there you go. Tongue

You missed my point. 

You can rename the thread and make it less confusing.
Just name it "favorite post 1980 prog band". 
Okay then. Sounds good to me. Thumbs Up

like you write in the OP - that could make it easier for you. SmileSmile

^Of course he did. Did you really expect otherwise? It’s the sort of obtuse and obstinate behaviour that’s expected.of Paul. I certainly wouldn’t expect anything less.
