The bands included in this poll represent the loosest chronological definition of Neo-Prog, meaning any modern prog band that emerged from the 1980's onwards, before anyone castigates me for my selection of Neo-Prog bands.

Astra is psychedelic space rock......from the list of true neo...either Marillion or IQ.

All of these I either haven't heard or am not a big fan of. I'll abstain.

I wonder if anyone's noticed my deliberate spelling mistake yet?

Out of the Neo-prog bands on the list, Marillion's is the best. Unfortunately, I can't vote because too many of these are great albums by non Neo-prog bands, so its not really an accurate poll. But since you knew ahead of time that you would be "castigated", you must have already known that.

Yes, I knew from experience that not everyone would agree with my choice of Neo-Prog bands, but that's okay. It's all good fun.

Paul, have you heard any of these albums on your list? No vote from me because Frost* Milliontown is missing.

I've heard of all of the artists in the poll, but the only album I've actually listened to and have in my prog collection is "The Weirding" by Astra, and that's the album I voted for. I don't generally listen to much prog from the modern era. All of the 88 albums I've reviewed so far are British classics from the late sixties and seventies era. I could include the Frost* debut as a last-minute addition to the poll, but I'd have to remove an existing artist from the poll to create a space for it.

Not a big fan of neo prog, and I must admit there are some albums here that I don't know, or not know them that well, so no vote from me.

Not to worry. I've only heard one of the albums on this poll - by Astra - even though I created the poll.

I went for IQ, because it's a superb debut by a true neo-prog band. For All We Shared is wonderful (The Night Sky is one of my all time favourite tracks), but MA are not really neo-prog. I'm sorry that Out of Myself by Riverside isn't there. It's brilliant, but doesn't get the credit it deserves because the follow up (Second Life Syndrome) is even better.
SFAJT will win, but I've gone off it a bit and I prefer the 4 albums that came after.

Marillion easily. The Flower Kings is symphonic incidentally.
