Does this mean I get to talk about bands that no one has ever heard of? Hooray! Andrew Liles is currently realeasing a 12-CD series titled The Vortex Vault showcasing collaborations and previously unheard works from his archives. Each CD has the word "black" in the title (Black Hole, Black Market, Black Widow, etc.) and is being released in an individually hand signed and numbered edition of 400. The packaging is beautiful black cardboard with a black paper band around the whole thing.
So far I only have two of them, as they are rather on the expensive side for cds at $19,99 a pop at my local record store, but the music has been very high quality, consisting of a variety of styles, including Drone, Ambient, Electronica, Metal, World, Neo-Classical and just general weirdness. I highly recommend picking one up if you have the oportunity, as they are a great buy and sure to appreciate in value. |

I'd rather discuss something NEW about something discussed to death, or something altogether new, as opposed to something altogether old (obviously).
This is sort of a lopsided poll, innit? Kinda obvious... However, it is easier to talk about something discussed to death: more to say (though most has already been said). Especially with people outside of prog, you can tell them loads about the basic/starter bands if you have discussed them to death. But there's a point where there's too much, of course...

Really? I hadn't noticed. I don't think there will be any lack of topics on the old favorites. I'm just trying to encourage more discussion where it is desperately needed. |

I have heard High Tide and really like them as well as the mighty Rooster; these are pretty much what I had in mind...I've heard of Touch but have never got a hold of anything and Niacin sounds intriguing so I've got some work to do. Thanks |

Erik I have very much the same thoughts - you may have noted that I have regularly banged on about jazz rock fans who's record collections haven't moved passed 1978. I was under the impression, that once upon a time, a progressive music fan actually liked to progress musically, rather than become stuck in the mud somewhere between 1968 to 1975. But I think this area deserves its own thread for some serious discussion. |

something that deserves more attention, like MODERN PROG for example!
i think most,rather almost all people here already aware how great the 60's and 70's are. even if they're not into classic prog, they'd probably agree that those era are probably the best, the golden age, etc. you know that...but come on! we're not living in the past anymore! prog wasn't dead after those years and it still continue evolving, and blend into other music as well, like uh...metal (among the obvious ones). In a quite recent thread there're quite a lot of people that agreed prog still alive and kickin' so why don't we discuss more recent stuff, in fact of something that has been discussed to death... i'm probably among the minority here... p.s. i don't dislike classic prog, really... |

Honestly, what result do you expect from such a poll, since the way you ask your questions is biased already?
 To show you how biased the questions are, let me rephrase them slightly: What would you rather discuss? 1. Something that has been discussed often and thus is of great common interest? 2. Something that is rarely discussed because nobody gives a damn? I hope this makes it plain to you. |

This is the second (that I've seen) post you've started lamenting the fact that we discuss popular bands, but how many threads have you started actually discussing the bands you're supposedly heralding? Actions speak louder than words, my friend.

I have already started a new artist thread in the prog lounge. There will be more. Feel free to open up discussion on anything you think deserves some attention. |

At this point, we're discussing discussing things. (Which isn't something we discuss very often!)

Just as a tip, if you want to promote lesser known bands, then just start a topic with a creative name and then post video's and clip's (if available) as well as your comments: people will always click on a link out of basic curiosity...this way they can do it without jumping through one of the longer, possibly overwhelming rec. threads.
