Just for the record, I define "modern" as "formed in the late 80s onwards".  And I chose to not include any prog metal.

I voted Anglagard. Though 11 years since their last album wouldn't quite be my definition of  modern.

There's a lot of good stuff in this poll... I'll go for The Mars Volta for right now (my opinion will probably change) for their recent progressive effort (very good).

01. Iona, Dave Bainbridge (solo) 

02: Chroma Key, Porcupine Tree, Spock's Beard, The Flower Kings

03: Magenta, Anglagard and Glass Hammer (Lex Rex / Shadowlands - phase) seem to be interesting too.

It's a tie between The Flower Kings and Transatlantic for me but I went with TFK since they had no votes.

A nod and a wink to Änglagård as well. I love "Hybris", can't stand "Epilog"...go figure...
All the best,

Of the options avaliable I had to choose the Flower Kings. If Arena were one of the choices I would have gone with them.

I'm with Jethro Fish on this one: can't really choose between Transatlantic and Flower Kings. So just to equilibrate things I voted for Transatlantic.

But I almost voted for Anekdoten, just because I don't like to see them with zero votes...

GYBE got my vote out of that lot, but my favourite at the moment by a huge margin is Guapo.

GYBE, I mean, they're too melancholic to be called experimental. They express feelings that conemporary instrumental/experimental music can't.

Mars Volta are almost as god, but I spent $60 to get "Lift Your Skinny Fists..." from the US, so you coluyd say i sufferded enough for them to be called a huge fan

Epic. Simply epic.
