I know, but thanks for pointing it out anyway. The only reason I didn't mention Neal Morse's many solo albums is because these Modern Prog polls are for *bands only*. Smile

It's not like there are two different artists anyway...

This has to be the best version ever of MacArthur Park. Clap

2 stars 1995: Opeth - Orchid - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJXmUbk8nQM
 
Orchid: a Death Metal monstrosity that shoulld've been nipped in the bud when it first flowered. The album does have its rare melodic moments though, so it's not completely 'opeless. Inexplicably, Orchid was critically acclaimed at the time of it's release, so my biased opinion counts for nothing. Tongue

I was lucky enough to see Spock's Beard in 2011.  Excellent - I was very presently surprised.  It's mainly pastiche but carried off with such panache!

I;m looking forward to shining The Light on Spock's Beard's debut if it's anywhere near as good as the Neal Morse Band's "Grand Experiment" album. Thumbs Up

Pallas - The Sentinel: an excellent debut from this Scottish band, but wait until you hear their most recent album - the best Neo Prog album to The Edge of Time itself! Thumbs Up

5 stars 1984: Pallas - The Sentinel - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_TaS3ukydpLcpeZ4mTlBspQfPJcAsh94

Pendragon: I have nothing but Pure Love for this amazing band, when Love Over Fear conquers all. If you have the Passion to Believe in the awesome Power of Prog, then Pendragon are one of the best-known Neo Prog bands in The World and a real Jewel in the English crown - both Past and Presence! Thumbs Up
 
4 stars 1985: Pendragon - The Jewel -  https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-xej6XnDQ-fi8teg-lSZDKmw_wWvfxwB

3 stars 1992: Porcupine Tree - On the Sunday of Life - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdktF-lL0yEYaUb-0bW0hnmbzq1OzHv8Z

The coolest video for cats from Porcupine Tree's psychedelic debut. Thumbs Up

Unluckily for some, I'll have to skip the debut album by Present - Triskaidekophobia, as it's currently unavailable on YouTube at present, although if the discordant shambles below is anything to go by, we're not missing out on much. Thumbs Down

Riverside - Out of Myself: a well-polished debut from this Polish band rising from Warsaw. This is Progressive Metal, Jim, but not as we know it. Whereas the Progressive Metal of Dream Theater and Opeth  is like a raging torrent, the melodic music of Riverside is Poles apart, sounding more like a gently flowing stream, so if you're still In Two Minds about Riverside, then check out the great song below. Thumbs Up

Clueless as usual, it's a masterpiece, rehearsal intensive and highly composed

I knew there had to be someone out there who liked the album. Tongue

Check the rating, it's 4.29, there are loads of people who are into this type of music who recognize it's excellence. It's dissonant by design. Your beloved Mostly Autumn is a 3.5.

By all means don't like it but don't call it a shambles.

I noticed Present and Mostly Autumn are presently on four votes each in the poll, so any prog credibility I had left remaining has just taken another plunge. Embarrassed

Solstice: the Best of British Neo Prog, sounding remarkably like YES on "Peace" -  the first track from their first album.

Even not being usually an Avant-Prog/RIO aficionado, I find this bit interesting. Smile

^ I'm rapidly going off Avant Prog, having listened to the debut albums by the Cardiacs, Guapo & Present and given them all the thumbs down, which doesn't bode well for me liking the upcoming debuts by Swans or Thinking Plague either. Ouch

I predict you'll hate both, give them a try, I've never heard Swans early stuff but the later stuff is very good. Thinking Plague got better after the first two but they certainly have their charms for fans of this stuff.
