^ Especially when it's about music of the (near)past, I tend to think music from "behind the iron curtain". I won't bother changing the bands I selected. I'm fine with my misunderstanding as I think it's more interesting that way.

One more, important for me to mention:

Fermáta (CSR) - Pieseň z Hôľ (1977)

Surprised you only mention them as an afterthought

I didn't include them in my top 7, but I do now instead of Gunesh.

I've used the pre-1990s political definition of "Eastern European", so whatever think of it geographically or regarding cultural influences, I haven't included Greece.

That was almost 4 years ago, and there are a couple of very significant differences in the OPs of these two threads.

^ The previous thread was for all favourites and not just top 7, all-time and not just pre-1990s, and it didn't include Poland, while it included Greece in any case.

Anyway, this is what you listed then with relevance for this thread:

11           Fermata              Fermata              Svk        1975     
11           Fermata              Huascaran          Svk        1977     
11           Flamengo           Kure V Hodinkach           Cze        1972     
11           Modry Efekt      Modry Efekt & Radim Hladik      Cze        1975     
11           Modry Efekt      Svitanie               Cze        1977     
11           Igra Staklenih Perli - Igra Staklenih Perli    Yug     1979
11           Plastic People of the Universe Kolejnice Duni (Rails Rumble) (1977-1982)    Cze       
11           Szabo, Gabor    Macho    Hun      1975

I don't understand why to include a couple of Finns, but otherwise very nice, Drew, thank you.

Finland just seems . . . out there! FAR east!

Though I'm pleased to see JazzMusicArchives coming to life, except for a very few number of bands (Mahavishnu, RTF, SBB, Fermáta) it seems that there is a downplay or negation on PA with regards to the influence Jazz and Jazz-Rock Fusion played on the development and push toward progressive rock! I just had to chime in. My way of trolling, I guess. Je m'excuse!

I'm hoping at some point to check out East and Omega in particular. There's actually quite a bit out there even from this era.

My OP asks for progressive music, so Jazz Rock/Fusion is very fine with me.

Edit: But you haven't maybe listed your top 7.

^ I can also wonder if not the pre-1990s Eastern Europe was stronger in Jazz Rock/Fusion than Progressive Rock.
