Paul, I've been thinking about this matter before, but now, beginning with your consideration about Germany's success
as Prog nation, I've got a very good idea for a thread about Germany and Italy, and maybe another thread about USA. Tongue
That's very prog-nostic of you as I've barely listened to any Italian prog at all. Embarrassed

Yes, but the basis for the new thread(s) will be the top lists I've made. So, I mention you only as inspiration. Smile
Well, I thought I'd better reply anyway, seeing as you gave me a name-check. Smile

I've prepared a thread about reasons for Germany's and Italy's less success in post-70's Prog, but I guess that it's
a too difficult topic.

For some reason, I thought you had a tribute thread for Norwegian Prog, but I can't find it anywhere. I was going to add the band Magic Eye to your list. Smile

It was not possible for me to post the last four days, but it seems to be okay again, so I can comment this post of yours, and vote in some of your last polls.

And no, I've never started a thread about Norwegian Prog, but there is one. Smile

Unfortunately, for the time being I'm lacking for ideas to and don't feel like starting new threads.

My new thread, The Best Progressive Rock Band of The '60s? , has been a very good experience.

Paul, I'll think about which of your threads I'd like to recommend here in this blog of mine, and I might even make 
a little section for your threads. Smile

A couple of threads about Rock in the '60s, and it was interesting to dig deeper in that decade.

The threads about fave LP originals and CD releases showed less interest for these topics than I had reckoned.

We got so much overlap, that I'll list the albums that I don't know/love/ or own. 

Clearlight (F) - Clearlight Symphony (1975)
 Ange (F) - Au-dela du Delire (1974)

That's it.  I'm not familiar with these two. I'll listen to them this weekend on Youtube.

That's quite incredible, Cindy, and I even guess, I've never seen such overlap before - which makes me really glad. 

Then, I can't imagine otherwise than these two albums will be at least a nice new acquaintance for you. Anyway, they're some of the pearls of French Progressive Rock all-time.

Thank you very much for this reply of yours! Smile

If I started a fave Danish Prog thread, it would be at most top 5, but more probably top 3. LOL
