The best prog Band from Germany

Since there has been a lot of discussions about many topics, some of them not even related to the one we may be concern about. Let´s dig in to German Prog to see how we do.

I'll start out with "Grobschnitt" and "Versus X"

what do you guys say???

I'll give it a try, however it looks like Prog Metal to me. Not much into it!!!

TXS!!!

I'll do that, actually downloading is in progress!!

But you haven't told me if you have ever listen to any of the Bands I mentioned, have you?, if not you should also give it a try!!!

Try Orange peel by Orange peel,fantastic!

Schicke, Fuhrs & Frohling!!  My all-time German prog act

Similarities to: Pulsar, Novalis, "Moon Madness"-era Camel, "Stratosfear"-era TD, some hints to jazz fusion, with an overall sound of their own.

I normally hate German prog but there are four albums I can listen to without feeling sick:

Grobschnitt - Rockpommel's Land (classic, some Genesis-, Yes-, VDGG-influences)

Sieges Even - A Sense of Change (in the vein of Rush's "Hemispheres" but much more complex and tricky)

Vanden Plas - The God Thing (DT-clone)

Everon - Flood (okay-ish neo prog with memorable melodies but a bad singer with a terrible accent)

No Eloy for me, please.
