I always thought that Galahad was a unknown band, this poll is the perfect example. But even if they were included, i will still give my vote to IQ.

Loved Marillion up until Fish left them - can't handle too much Hogarth crying all the time. IQ it is followed by Pendragon out of the list.

Not so. I think Hogarth is brilliant. So is Fish.

But I prefer IQ overall.

So Pallas for me. 
The Dreams of Men is one of my favourite modern prog albums of any genre. I don't know enough about Pallas though .The Sentinel seems highly rated, how does that stand up alongside their modern albums? (sorry if this is not meant to be a discussion about neo prog in general)
 
oh and where is Arena?

'The Sentinel' is okay, but for me it doesn't compare to their more recent albums. It's definitely softer then the harder rocking 'Dreams of Men' and 'XXV'.
your spot on Pallas are better with age...

IQ for me too......but my favorites are Dark Matter and Frequency....haven't heard enough of Bones yet to see how that one works for me.

In a similar vein, but nicer in my opinion, are Special Providence, a band from Hungary. I got to hear some tracks from their new album recently, and they really are solid. There is definitely a jazz influence in their music too, pretty much as for IZZ, though SP are more to my liking.

someone upstream made the point that Neo-prog could easily be seen as 'modern' symphonic prog. I suppose it is easy to do. Note the case of Discipline.  Neo-prog?  I suppose.  Two sides of the same coin.

Why else would the OP have put the f**king flower kings as an option.

In my view, IZZ are one of those bands that must be experienced on stage to fully appreciate them. Their studio albums never did a lot for me, but when I saw them live twice in 2013 I was very impressed. Very nice bunch of guys and gals as well.

I never saw IZZ or Echolyn as Neo Prog which is more of a British/European phenomenon than an American one. Then again, Discipline were for a long time labelled as Neo, and a very interesting (and hard to pinpoint) band such as Sanguine Hum are currently filed under Neo on this site.
