I return to polls with this out of this world theme poll set to make you think of or look into artists that you might not otherwise check out.  Sure to sink to page 5 with few votes and even fewer discussions this poll is now open for you to ignore.  Please feel free to tell me how you would have voted for The Mars Volta if they had been included.  Big smile

I’ve listened to only half of those, but based upon that I’m going for Jupiter - not least because three prog bands I like use that in their name: Jupiter Hollow, Jupiter Society, and Mission Jupiter.

Jupiter Society is awesome. Rings of Saturn is sometimes fun, but too lunatic for me to be a fan. I might have heard some or most of the others in the options, but I'm not sure.

I wanted to share 2 (non-ProgArchived) songs related to the planets. One of them is an uplifter, and the other is a "pull downer". Guess which one is which. Tongue

Mars Hollow are mostly forgotten these days. They put out two albums about ten to twelve years ago then broke up never to reform. Some members went on to form Heliopolis. Anyway, if you said the Mars Volta they would probably get a lot of votes.

I voted for Earth and Fire. Regarding the Mars Volta, I never could get into their music.

Here is Jazz Hands of Doom from the Mercury Tree.


They are a Heavy Prog band from the US.  This song is an instrumental from their 3rd album Countenance from 2014.  They sing on other song and are considerably influenced by Steven Wilson and The Porcupine Tree.

As mentioned by AFlowerKingCrimon, they are a crossover prog band from the US who released a couple of albums on the 10T record label.

This song, Midnight, is from their 2010 debut album.

I picked The Mercury Tree. Really enjoyed their Spidermilk album. Microtonal guitars are really cool sounding.

The Mercury Tree, one of the best albums of 2019 was "Spidermilk".  Microtonal music rocks.  If you like that type of music, check out Cryptic Ruse as the lead singer for The Mercury Tree sings on a couple of the tracks, but it is also microtonal and was added into the Archives last year.  The new Cryptic Ruse album is on my AOTY for 2020.

I also love The Mars Volta, and it would have been difficult which one to choose, but I would still have gone for The Mercury Tree.

Earth and Fire are a female fronted Symphonic prog band from the Netherlands that existed in the early days of prog and are probably the best know band included in the poll.  Here is Storm and Thunder from their 1971 2nd album Song of the Marching Children.

Jupiter Society is a Swedish prog metal band from Carl Westholm, also from Carptree.  They have released concept albums and come across as a cross between Carptree and Ayreon.

This song, Bismarck Explorer, is from the 2008 debut album First Contact/Last Warning released on ProgRock Records.

I'm not so enamored by the microtonal rock stuff. I prefer the likes of Harry Partch and other Gamelan music.
