The Mars Volta
"Death to Utopia! Death to faith! Death to love! Death to hope?" thunders the 20th century. "Surrender, you pathetic dreamer.”

"No" replies the unhumbled optimist "You are only the present."

Echolyn!

This band is with the here not-mentioned band called IZZ my big hope for modern prog. It isn't such a crap as a lot of the so-called "modern progressive"-bands like Coldplay, System of a down or Muse who are extremly superficial, minimalistic and without good musicianship.

Echolyn has enough style to rule the new prog-world (same thing with IZZ). It is complex and full of new ideas (not like Coldplay, Muse or System of a down where every song has the same sound). The singing is great and every song surprises you with smart parts you would never have expected.

are the Flowers and IQ not on the list! and I have alot of time for Mostly
Autumn with the wonderful Heather on vocals.Riverside sound very, very
good and Arena should have a mention,their new album has some excellent
moments.


Apparently you haven't heard the mars volta yet. The lead singer Cedric has
an incredible voice.

Mars Volta, best new prog band!!! am i seeing things, have you heard their last feeble effort! Dont go much on Porcupine Tree neither unless you want to be bored to death.

Oh well, let the kiddies have their say and lets get serious about this.

Try Little Atlas or Magic Pie, not 'cool'' but majestic!

Anglagard, maybe regressive, not 100% original, but this guys are all serious musicians and created beautiful music.

BTW: Not so new, we're talking about 13 years ago.

The Mars Volta, and Sigur Ros, if they were in the poll
