I agree with Peter.  However, even though Britain has the highest number of prog bands, I voted for Italy, since, like Avis, it tries harder...

Peace.

I did this poll because I think that it is important becasue there can be big differences down to wheree the music is from. Different social conditions in which it is produced etc...

i didnt say there is wrong or right, and sorry of you misunderstood me Cry i was just saying that music is the one language all people understand Wink

and about social conditions i think you have a point, but you sometimes find english bands doing songs about berlin wall or veitnam, that's what i meant, nice poll thoughSmile

Hey there!

Can you recommend me some Egyptian bands? and if so, where can I get music from them? Despite Mexico is a great beholder of the prog scene every year having great bands over the country and all, Egypt is that region in the world I haven't heard of and I just can't stop picturing and imagining how its prog music could be... dunno, maybe some ethnic mixture, some arabic strings within... wow! Please keep me posted!

wel thanx a lot Clap i was afraid first to write i am from egypt as the world media give a very bad picture of as here being people with beard riding camels, but things arent like that here, we are a very civilized country, i am in listening to progressive rock since i was 12 that is 10 yrs ago, and i never rode a camel although i am a big fan of theirs LOL

about egyptian bands, i'm so sorry they are local bands no production or anything just some jazz bands released some albums, and some local concerts but if an official prog album is released you'd be the first to knowWink

I don't know. Every country was good doing what they were doing.  You can't beat germans on electronic, don't even try.

The Québec prog scene was doing well in the 70's (Harmonium, Maneige, Pollen, Et Cetera...) until the refuse of separating from Canada in 1980 killed everything in music. Right now, I can says Québec is one of the best in the world in making Post Rock, and just original music finnaly.
Vive le Québec libre!...
