One forum member suggested I should have included a separate entry for québecois artists from Canada in the prog world cup competition i'm running. I thought this was an interesting idea which didn't occurred to me at the time I set up the entire competition, so this poll should make up for that omission. |

While I LOVE the four Harmonium albums, and really enjoy the musics of Sloche, Pollen, Opus 5, and especially Conventum, I’m voting for Maneige. Their music is just more fulfilling to me. ------------- Drew Fisher https://progisaliveandwell.blogspot.com/ |

Other - the one and only Miriodor . Not familiar with some of the others, but Maneige are indeed excellent, and I also have a lot of time for Voivod. |

| Hard to vote among these great bands. Harmonium takes my vote though, for their excellent discography, but this is a close one. |

Morse Code is my choice, but it's tough call with Harmonium in there. ------------- Progfan1958 "Peace to you all" "La paix est avec vous" "Pax vobiscum" "Al salaam a'alaykum" "Vrede zij met u allen" "Shalom aleichem" |

That was moi  ,
though you didn't get the message... I thought it was more fittingto
have a Québécois band to represent Canada, rather than Rush, who stopped
being prog in 81.

 For my ‘other’ it would be L'Orchestre Sympathique. From the list I voted Sloche because I love them and they were without a vote, though my head says Maneige were the greatest / most original among those named. Sad to see brilliant bands like Opus 5 and Conventum voteless too. It was such a rich scene! We owe a great debt of gratitude to ProgQuebec for making so much of this stuff available, I feel. ------------- Soldato of the Pan Head Mafia.

L'Orchestre Sympathique is fantastic!  I was thinking about not voting other, and would have voted for Sloche too. I love J'un oeil especially, and love the others you mentioned. The Québec music scene is incroyable. |

Sloche and Opus are great Maneige overrated ------------- All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock. |

Pollen. Et Cetera and Morse Code not far behind.

I've recently relistened to Morse Code (including the two Transmission albums), and I was rather underwhelmed, especially with the shorter (overtly) commercial tracks. Too bad there is no live recordings to be released, either. TBH, most of the lyrics in their classis three albums are handled by someone outside the band (Robitaiile for two albums) and they're not that good either.. The one I prefer is MCT2, right now!! . ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

| Maneige and Opus 5, along with Dionne-Bregent. Harmonium seems lame and overrated to me. |
