Neo Prog

Subterranea was my favourite album for a while and even got to see the band perform it in its entirety in London back in the day. Nowadays very rarely listen to it. I lost interest in Marillion around The Strange Engine but then did buy Marbles based on recommendations here but havent played it much. I know a litlle bit about the other bands but havent played them much. I often think that IQ and Arena are the only traditional neo prog bands I feel that invested in and enjoy that much. IQ have long been a favourite of mine although they've had some rocky moments and if Nicholls hadn't returned they would have been dead and buried a long time ago. Arena were one of the prog revival bands of the 90's and arguably only Dream Theater and Spocks Beard were more succesfull at that time.They captured the more powerful sound that was needed to move the neo thing onwards. I like their last album a lot but have still never seem them live which is a shame and probably my fault no doubt.
