Or "Post Classic Era Prog". The Saga album I found most enjoyable is the self-titled, which came out in 1978. And Twelth Night goes back further than the 80s. In fact, the first performance of Twelth Night was way back in February 2, 1602, but I don't wish to make much ado about nothing. Keep it as you like it, all's well that ends well et cetera. |

Agree. Imagine this scenario but apply it to neo prog: Mother: That's not orange juice you're drinking. It's grapefruit juice.
Boy: But I want it to be orange juice so I'm calling it orange juice. Mother: Calling it orange juice doesn't make it orange juice. Boy: I don't care. I'm calling it orange juice anyway. ![]() |

Great one, and pretty bold at the time to make such a robotic prog record. |

I don't mind what's "really neo-prog". Genre labels are overrated. Best from the list are Porcupine Tree. Also I like some Echolyn & Saga.

^ Still, neoprog has a distinctive era and sound which a band like the Tangent does not reflect. Labels are overrated but useful. |

My favorite Saga album is definitely Silent Knight. But all of their first three are really good imo, better than their 4th which is usually picked as their best.

I stand by my decision to include all of those artists in the Neo-Prog poll. It doesn't mean I'm right and others are wrong though, or vice versa - it simply means we all have different definitions of what is and isn't Neo-Prog.

TFK, PT and SB are third wave man, not neo.
No vote. |

I included Astra in my poll because they're one of my favourite modern (or neo) Progressive Rock bands. ![]() In retrospect, I wish I'd included Mostly Autumn in my poll too for the same reason as above.

I guess it's not just politicians who double down. No way is PT a neo prog band by any stretch of the imagination.

Ok, I've decided that I'm the one who decides what this
neo-prog is and what it is not. And so my decision is that anything
released after and including A Trick of the Tail is neo-prog and stuff.

Right on man, it's your poll, no regrets. It's not like you included ELP or classic Genesis, or something like that. So nothing that's clearly wrong with it, just people being a little nitpicky. You're handling it well though.
