Why do Eloy keep getting ignored in threads about German prog?
As I said before:
ELOY Power And The Passion Review by Rich @ 3:57:16 PM EST, 2004-04-29
— Eloy are probably Germany's foremost prog band and this shows why.It's a concept album about time travelling and has a very nice romantic theme going through it.The playing is impressive and worthy of great prog bands of the time like Genesis and Yes.

Sorry, I just dont do the Eloy, Grobschnitt, Novalis,
Birth Control, etc thing. The German accented
english is worse than Italian that I dont understand.
And they usually get lost in some RUSH like fairytale
crap I cant handle. The wordless, melodic stuff is out
of this world and is much preferred IMO. Most critics
get you going for the commercial stuff(above^) or the
experimental early 70s(Ash Ra Temple, Kluster,
Amon Duul 2, Can, etc) which is a waste of time for
me. Although Kraans best and Jane"Together" are
definite winners in English. I have heard Ballermann,
Rockpommels Land, Sommerabend, Ocean,
Blitzkrieg, on and on and although some parts are
catchy I dont find them something I would listen to
too much overtime.

So in other words, this poll should read "The Best of DallasBryan's Favorite German Prog."
"Mister Fripp, your music is quite different than everything else out there. In one word, how would you describe it?"
