Now's your chance to name your Top 7 modern, post-1970's prog bands. Simply list your Top 7 modern prog bands in order of preference below and then I'll assign the usual system of points to your listings, and remember, it's *bands only* from the modern era who released their first album any time from 1980 onwards, so we're in Neo-Prog territory here. Good luck and may the best band win!  First Band:- 12 points Second Band:- 8 points Third Band:- 6 points Fourth Band:- 4 points Fifth Band:- 3 points Sixth Band:- 2 points Seventh Band:- 1 point Here's my Top 7 list to get the poll underway:- 1. Mostly Autumn (12 points) 2. Magenta (8 points) 3. Solstice (6 points) 4. Pallas (4 points) 5. IQ (3 points) 6. Porcupine Tree (2 points) 7. The Tangent (1 point)  |

Modern is anything post-‘70s? That’s a rather strange definition of modern! 😄🤪 ------------- https://tinyurl.com/nickhnz-tpa" rel="nofollow - Reviewer for The Progressive Aspect |

Modern prog includes Marillion too.

Marillion is a 40 something years old. How is that modern? A band that has started making music in 2001 is 20 years old. Now do you understand the confusion?
|
Posted By: Psychedelic Paul
Date Posted: December 19 2021 at 14:00
Sorry to be Captain Obvious again, but Marillion are a 1980's Neo-Prog band, and Neo = New = Modern Prog, as opposed to Classic Prog from the 1970's. So there you go.

You missed my point. You can rename the thread and make it less confusing. Just name it "favorite post 1980 prog band".

At the moment, it looks like we're going to have an endless debate about what constitutes modern prog, instead of anyone actually voting in the poll. I included the description "post-70's" prog bands in my intro.

the only problem I have with Paul’s post is his nomenclature. I think, especially given how much focus the bands of that era get both on PA and outside it, that a thread about bands that are only post-‘70s is a good one. Just, don’t call them modern, when to most people (although obviously not Paul) modern means something more recent than something from four decades ago…. ------------- https://tinyurl.com/nickhnz-tpa" rel="nofollow - Reviewer for The Progressive Aspect |

Well, that’s what you get when you throw about that description. If you wanted to discuss post-‘70s bands, then the easiest way to avoid arguments is to keep it simple, and call them post-‘70s bands. Otherwise it just looks like you were baiting (and Cristi and I bit), and let’s face it - you are in a bit of a boy who cried Wolf situation here. You have some renown for being controversial simply for the sake of it, and calling anything post-‘70s modern you must have either been incredibly naive, or expecting argument. ------------- https://tinyurl.com/nickhnz-tpa" rel="nofollow - Reviewer for The Progressive Aspect |

But then you also have modern history beginning in 1500. Modern art starts in the 1860s and ends in the 1970s with art after that called postmodern or contemporary. Modern is a weird word. The English language is weird too. And so am I. ------------- ---------- i'm shopping for a new oil-cured sinus bag that's a happy bag of lettuce this car smells like cartilage nothing beats a good video about fractions |

That's what I'm saying. I DID call them post-1970's bands in the intro, so as not to cause any confusion.

Well, considering not every band on your own list is neo prog, does that mean you consider anything post-‘70s neo prog, regardless of what anyone else thinks? Because modern prog is not the equivalent of neo prog, and I really do think you know that. And yet, you wonder why people accuse you of trolling? 🙄 ------------- https://tinyurl.com/nickhnz-tpa" rel="nofollow - Reviewer for The Progressive Aspect |

No, you didn’t. The title of the thread is for Modern Prog Bands, and your OP mentions post-70s only in brackets which makes is look like a qualification, rather than definition. If you truly didn’t want the confusion, you would not have mentioned the word modern at all, because you wouldn’t need to. Simply stating post-‘70s would have sufficed. ------------- https://tinyurl.com/nickhnz-tpa" rel="nofollow - Reviewer for The Progressive Aspect |

Anyway, I'm going to wing this and see where it goes... 1. Spock's Beard 2. Present 3. 5uu's 4. Thinking Plague 5. Anekdoten 6. Beardfish 7. Izz Edit: By the way, I think my 5-7 positions could vary widely. There are a LOT of great bands from 1980 to the present. My first four spots could easily interchange with each other depending on the moon [I mean mood, ha ha]. I almost wanted to put Present first because I've really been digging them lately, but Spock's Beard was the gateway band for my returning back to prog in the 1990s.

I’d have to think about what the rest would be, but I guess the number one for me would be Tool, simply because they were the first modern prog band I got into, and even though I rarely listen to them these days, I still have a great deal of affection for their music.

Ignoring Paul’s scoring for the moment, there are a few bands showing up on more than list (and, because I’m ignoring the scoring, I have included all the honourable mentions). The results are perhaps not so surprising. If all the bands with only one mention are removed, this is what is left: 1. Porcupine Tree (8 mentions) 2=. Anekdoten (6 mentions) 2=. Big Big Train 4.

As a fan of Finnish music, big thanks for bringing this band to my attention. Somehow I had entirely missed them until now. ------------- Soldato of the Pan Head Mafia. We'll make you an offer you can't listen to. http://bandcamp.com/jpillbox" rel="nofollow - Bandcamp Profile |

You're welcome! I hope you enjoy them. They're both fragile and intense, often at the same time. The singer ia a Finnish version of Peter Hammill. No kidding.

Or I guess, I don't, as it might be not fair. ------------- quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond |

Only 7? I'm always a little torn in these "Top" polls over listing the bands that I recognize as most important to the genre of Prog Rock, and the ones I just personally like the most. This list is something in between, I guess: 1. Marillion 2. Anglagard 3. Riverside 4. Steven Wilson 5. IQ 6. Opeth 7. Big Big Train ------------- Z |

simply not enough albums. for me the same problem goes for Anglagard and Par Lindh Project. 'PLP' made 3 masterpieces but barely register interest on the forum at all. I included Lazuli because they are remarkably consistent and produced 10 albums or so to date. Consistency and Quantity v Quality is a difficult one but all my choices have at least 6 studio releases to their name. Doesn't have to be a rule but I've made it so
