The biggest bands on here in my opinion are Camel, Gentle Giant and VDGG so voted for them.

If I voted for personal preference it would probably be

Hatfield & The North
Gong
National Health
Caravan
Magma

Not on the list - Henry Cow, Univers Zero

It's your favorites not necessarily the biggest. If you look at the question it says "which band(s) do you like the best?"

LOL

Well, to be fair, Univers Zero did headline Nearfest one year.

You are such a troll. If I could ban you from this website believe me I would. Aside from that apparently you never got past first grade English since you don't know to add a period after a sentence.

Very rude and uncalled for.

No one I know of. Unlike Mike Oldfield.

They are the biggest two Avant prog bands and are unknown outside of prog so I think they meet the criteria. They are my personal choices and I don't particular value your opinion on anything avant.

Henry Cow were recently voted the 20th all-time favourite prog band of all time though by PA members, which admittedly, was against my expectations, proving once again that my opinions on Avant Prog are of no particular value to you or anyone else here. Tongue

And I'm sure Paul wouldn't trust your opinion on anything neo.

He would be fully correct to not trust my opinion on neo. I have a very small collection and no in depth knowledge about neo.

Ian probably has more Neo Prog albums than I do. I only have six albums by Marillion and that's it! Embarrassed

By PA's definitions I have 10, Asturias (5), IQ (2), Sanguine Hum (2), The Healing Road (1)

Though my collection is digital only, I buy very little physical.

Henry Cow and Univers Zero are two of the original members of the Rock in Opposition movement, so in terms of bigness in prog circles, they are a cut above the run-of-the-mill avant-prog groups.
 
No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

^ Henry Cow almost made my list (see my first post) and while UZ weren't really a band I was thinking of I do recognize their importance in RIO and prog in general. After all (like I said) they did headline Nearfest one year. Even Echolyn, Anglagard and the Flower Kings never headlined Nearfest. So theoretically I could have and maybe should have included them.

Still I'm quite certain I'm better at writing in English than you are writing in my first language.
