Well I own Mindcrime even though it doesn't really do much for me. I listened to Talk Talk for the first time today and quite enjoyed it. I heard elements of Velvet Underground, Stones & REM. Doubt I'll buy it but it gets the vote.

isnt that a nonsense to call "moderns" the albums from 80s, even if we know that these polls are just for fun and nothing but fun?
 
edit: and wouldnt be a too big nonsense even for these for-fun-only polls if in the modern albums grand finale you get eg some album from 80s and another thats released in 00s?

Before PA, I thought Talk Talk was only a pop band.  I like hwo they sound, but Mindcrime was my favorite recording for years. Shame QR has released so little of note since 1994.   Suite Sister Mary would have been a better, 'proggier' song selection.
More heavy prog, please!

Laughing Stock is probably even more in your direction. A bit more subdued, but a bit further 
left field. Considered, along with Slint's Spiderland, the beginning of post-rock.

Anywho .... some albums I simply cannot make all the way through so forgive me if I am wrong but from what I hear of Queensryche they appear to be nowt but yet another Deep Purple wannabe.

Otoh, I do like Talk Talk though I've always lumped them in what I'd think of as Prog Lite with such outfits as Simple Minds, Ultravox, Japan and the like. I confess though that by the time Eden was released I wasn't listening to them at all. Nice album.  Wish I'd been aware of it back in the day.

I posted this way back in the tournament threads.

The whole matter and actual year of the dividing date was something we heavily discussed and debated. The first notion was to use Neo as that dividing point.. from the classic where they were aping Genesis to later when they started aping PT LOLWink

it worked until we saw that ..ahem.. prog is not all symphonic and aping and mimicking the classics.

Post-Rock and prog metal. Both had their beginning in our haphazardly designated cut off which so we shifted the cut date into the 80's for the modern to take into account the beginning of prog metal and Post-Rock. All agreed they would be horribly out of place in the 'classic' prog section.

^ and on that note.. we are already into the 3rd age... in 10 years when we revisit these contests. Be prepared for 3 brackets. Classic prog, modern prog, and the post prog, the age of progressive music.

the dividing line.. 2011 when prog flatlined.  The cancellation of Nearfest when prog and progressive audiences fractured. Prog bands went after prog fans.. progressive bands went after music fans.

Ten Years ? Wow ... what do we all do in the meantime ?

Still and all by then it will be hopefully a better more mature world where Secret Chiefs 3 do not lose out to IQ. Oh callow youth.

Oh lord I can see it now .... umpteen discussions as too whether or not the sons and daughters of Gabriel et al should get together for a Sprogs of Genesis Tour. Shocked

Queensr˙che, Operation: Mindcrime.

When he rides, my fears subside.
For darkness turns once more to light.
Through the skies, his white horse flies.
To find a land beyond the night.

easy...  do what we've done for the last 10 years... expand your horizons and explore the current music out there  and prepare for the next batch of polls. Who knows.. when some jealous husband puts a bullet through my filthy hide.. or my beloved wife cuts my heart out..  you just might have to step into the McShoes and run the next one LOL

As far as the forum... ahhh... don't worry.  I'm sure the site is much more womanly than we'd guess. This place used to be a madhouse.. where the admins used to have to put sawdust down on the floor to soak up the blood..  then it became a limp wristed hang-out for those wanting a peaceful sojourn from the rigors of real life... haha..yahn... pussies.  Nothing eased the stresses of real life than beating DT fans over the heads with tire irons....

Wait a year or two and the mood and demeanor here will change again.. my reappearance is just the first sign of the impending forumpocalyse.  When you see Tony R come back.. then hide the women and children...  it will be high noon 24/7 on main street in the hardbitten frontier settlement known as Prog Archives. Yeah the forum is dull.. the polls a nice vacation from the tedium..  but it won't last.

In ten years ?  McZimmerFrame more like it.

Damn it though, how I wish I'd been witness to the carnage.

Not sure I'd ever do much to reduce the tedium. Right now I'm listening to Mogwai. Me, I like it, but then when I'm feeling really boppy I play some Brian Eno.

That could explain why I don't like a lot of traditionally prog albums after 2010. Almost all of the ones I like are metal with the occasional avant album.
