Actually, I listened to Script yesterday and to The Jewel this evening. I liked much Script from the beginning, but not that much
The Jewel. It has grown on me, but I'd still like it to sound more organic.
                      quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond

Have you heard Masquerade Overture, David? I think it's still Pendragon's finest hour...

Yes, I think I have, and already the artwork puts me off. Smile

I don't have many by them. I was playing Cross And The Crucible not too long ago. I also have the wedge, beat the drum and the one with the roman numerals and I think that's about it. Smile

Saw them when the Sentinel came out (and still have my fully signed lp with the poster from the gig!) and they were as good as any of the other NWOBPR bands live at the time. The Sentinel was not my favourite lp of that era by a long shot but i did retain a soft spot for it. Saw them in 2008 and was very underwhelmed.. saw them again (though cant remember the year) with a new, more energetic and aggressive lead singer.. the show was tighter and better but not really my thing. I think they always had an eye on being more of a heavy rock band..

Twelfth night and IQ was much more my thing particularly in the studio

IQ not on your list of top 12.......seriously? 
Wacko
I did see your 120 lp list but for me IQ is no 1....especially after their last 4 lps.

^ I could delete Mostly Autumn from the top of my list (seeing as they're not generally regarded as Neo Prog) and then bring in IQ at #12. There are so many other great Neo Prog bands I could've included in my Top 12 list too though, such as Clepsydra (Switzerland), Collage (Poland) & La Tulipe Noire (Greece) to name just three, so maybe I should've extended my list to a Top 20. Embarrassed

6. Pallas
7. Solstice

1 for me also.....Magenta, Marillion, Arena, Pendragon , etc have all had some good lps in the past but imho the last 4 IQ lps are better than anything they have done in recent memory.

^ nice find, Paul.

Speaking of Niall. I gave Dreams of Men a full spin the other day including the bonus CD and I have to say “Dreams of men” is really up there for me. It has stood the test of time being nearly 20 years old (2005) and the album overall is just flat out excellent. Has almost as much magic as Collage’s Moonshine.

Dreams of Men is one of my favourite Pallas albums too and their latest album "The Edge of Time" is my favourite Neo Prog album of all time. Thumbs Up
