^ It's a great read. The book is so good, I read it twice and I'm glad you reminded me about this blog as I still have a few gaps to fill in for the Top 120 list at the top of Page 1.....

That maybe because they’re not really Neo?…… |

Misplaced ratings maybe? It's my least favourite Marillion album, although it's one of six Marillion albums in my CD collection. ![]() |

its an album that improves and gets better as it goes along, I think I've given it 2 stars mainly because I dislike Kayleigh and Lavender I looked up my old review but not sure I would subscribe to it now. I was on a bit of a Marillion hate thing at the time also giving Script 2 stars (which I was actually told off by admin for ![]() EDIT - gave it 4 stars weirdly , not my recollection at all ![]() Edited by richardh - June 22 2023 at 07:41 |

In the vast Arena of Neo Prog, this fully updated Top 120 list (courtesy of RYM) has been two years in the making, so let's hope it doesn't turn out to be a Comedy of Errors. Fans of Arena, IQ, Marillion & Pendragon will surely be delighted to see their favourite bands all well-represented here in the Top 30, but I have a feeling fans of Echolyn, The Flower Kings & Spock's Beard are going to be left feeling very disappointed.

My Neo-prog tastes align more with PA's top 120. I own 26 albums off of RYM's list.
I've been digging K2 - Book of the Dead this month.

I own just four albums in RYM's Top 120 list and they're all by Marillion.

I doubt that is the case Paul as those bands are not Neo Prog and so no one would expect to see them in such a list anyway.

Echolyn, The Flower Kings & Spock's Beard were all prominently featured in Stephen Lambe's book on the history of Neo Prog: Citizens of Hope and Glory.
