Aside from Fish-era Marillion and IQ's Dark Matter, I don't like most neo-prog that I've heard ...

I like my neo-prog best in a light cream sauce over pasta.

It's the most predictable style related to prog. The only band I can really listen to (though not very often) is Marillion. The rest just bore me to death.

Thanks for the recommendation Fan but I think I'll give them a miss. It's not that I don't like their music - I have just come off their site with their excerpts and they sound pretty good. But I'm afraid it's like IQ again in that the drumming goes right through me and severely interferes with my listening. It's the old finger-nails on a blackboard with me. Must be me, I reckon, but the drumming sounds like they have got the cheapest kiddies drum from toys-r-us and put some dried peas for the snare effect. I've tried with IQ (Ever is the worst) and I can't seem to get my audio faculties to put the drumming in the background. Thanks again. Off to give Proto Kaw a try

Not yummy. I must confess that I dislike even the genre leading bands. Neo prog was the product of a time when the classical prog bands were on the decline. Ok, there are some good albums, even in the 90s (Quidam), but not as progressive rock. The early 80s have already passed, and there are much better prog bands.

In short, it sucks
