That year, it seemed that even the neo-progressive movement was starting to peak.  Ah, the mid-80s prog desert... cast your minds back.

Misplaced Childhood.
I can't recall any of the others even getting any airplay back then, at least not in my corner of the world.
Welcome to the middle of the film.

Don't really like any from this year, but the one that stood out is definitely Misplaced Childhood.

I honestly had no clue that Ozric Tentacles had been around for that long.

I first saw the Ozrics playing in a make-shift tent at Stonehenge in 84, apparently they formed a year earlier at the same festival!

Too cool.

Ozric Tentacles is a band that I gave a quick judgement to years ago, I heard one song by them and kind of wrote them off at the time.  You inspired me to give them a listen this afternoon.  I've been listening to Curious Corn and am really enjoying it.  Sadly, Tantric Obstacles wasn't an option on Google Play so I can't really vote in good faith, but I'm enjoying the one I could find so thank you!

I first heard of The Enid on this site, and they intrigued me very much.  The Spell was the first album of theirs I bought and I was hooked.  It is still my favorite.  After that, Marillion.

I have purchased Misplaced Childhood the same day of Soft Machine's "Land of Cockayne"...and I have enjoyed both a lot. I remember exactly where I was and with whom the first time that I've listened to them. I've also played the whole Misplaced Childhood in a cover band...Of course that's my choice.

IQ and the Ozrics are the ones that stand out for me.

I'll give the underdogs the vote this time.

Hawkwind - COTBS, obviously..

Closely followed by The Enid.

Must admit, I've not heard TD's Le Parc.

I love Misplaced Childhood, but The Wake is special.
