I voted Pendragon, it was a chance hearing of The
Jewel in 1985 that got the whole prog thing started for me.............and I still love 'em today! |

Yeesh...I can't find any 12th Night, so I can't give my vote to that. And Pallas has very few albums worth listening to. So it's between Pendragon and IQ. Ehn...Pendragon wins my vote, simply because IQ have only come close to making an album as good as The Masquerade Overture, and that is The Wake. ------------- http://soundcloud.com/drewagler" rel="nofollow - My soundcloud.

I like them all, but if I had to choose one it would be IQ.. Pendragon - good but eternally overrated coz of Barrett's awful vocals 12th night: great band...shame they could only keep it together for one great prog studio album. Pallas - good and still are good. I would rank them 2nd, just coz 'The wedge' was not very good after 'The Sentinel', that was magnificent....i still love that cover! |

My vote goes to Pendragon, which I think Is better than Marillion anyway. ------------- "I can't see through my eye lids" |

So did I, and I would have done so anywy, even if Marillion had been included in the poll. IQ was not only better than Marillion in the 80s, but also afterwards... and still they are. |

IQ is by a mile my favorite Neo-Prog band, but it's mainly from their post-80s work. Either way, they get my vote, though Marillion is my favorite Neo-Prog band when we restrict the time frame to the 80s. ------------- www.last.fm/user/ThisCenotaph

Twelfth Night - the most obscure of them, but they were simply amazing, the best characters of Genesis and VDGG combined!! And, Prog jester you probably by mistake allowed multiple votes!! ------------- yet you still have time! |

I haven't heard 12th Night but out of the other 3, IQ is the clear winner. Just look at the neo-prog top 100 on Prog Archives for confirmation. They have a lot of albums in the top 10. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/BobGreece/?chartstyle=basicrt10">

The Sentinel - a bit better than Arrive Alive, but the heyday of Pallas was at The Cross & The Crucible ------------- yet you still have time! |
