    GENTLE GIANT and VDGG split right before the 80s came.They felt the threat,I guess

I think KING CRIMSON were the most progressive band in 80s among the famous dinosauruses of 70s.They've found a completely new odd style,but yet very progressive.


I haven't included here some other bands like CARAVAN or maybe BANCO - lets spin around the well-knowns


Also there are NO 80s bands like MARILLION,IQ,PENDRAGON or QUEENSRYCHE - don't ask me why,just look at the topic's name

Got to be Crimson - they kept Prog 'acceptable' throughout the 80s (the decade that taste forgot)!!!

Not in the big ten but I think Mike Oldfield stayed true to his roots in the 80s more so than his contemporarys.

Rush's 80's material doesn't seem any worse than their 70's output for me.

Out of those bands I think King Crimson were proggier in the 80's.

I am not a superfan of King Crimson but i have no choice. King Crimson in 80's were still really good

- Oldfield if the 80's stopped in 82
- Crimson if the 80's stopped in 84
- In reality, Rush

I agree. In some cases better..
     

KC was the proggest in the 80's IMO.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

I think the proggest band in the 80's was Marillion but due to the lack of options in this poll I was forced to vote for Rush which was so proggy too

of course Marillion isn't included, because the one that started this poll was talking about the big bands BEFORE the eighties Evil Smile
