From the list Synkopy, one of their albums and I think their best Křídlení from 1983 is absolut excellent. Progress 2 is another winning band and Blue Effect I think is the most well known across the borders.
I agree with you. Honestly I like Křídlení  more than Hodiny but Hodiny have higher rate in PA

I just finished listening to the four albums. Progres 2 and Synkopy are my favourites, both excellent. Voted for Synkopy, the spacier of the two Thumbs Up

I must confess about my opinion. When I make this topic , I decided to vote to Progres 2 and this was my first choice BUT after listening to all of them again I changed my decision , And I want to vote to SYNKOPY (if I vote). I don't vote yet and try hard to resist against VOTING in my own poll

If we're counting Slovakia then FERMATA is a must to be mentioned and probably my favourite.

My fav album though is probably the one JAZZ Q and BLUE EFFECT did together called "Coniunctio". It's fairly avant but man it's so good.

Of the possible choices, I vote Synkopy--they produced two excellent albums, some pretty good EPs in the early 70s, and a couple decent 80s albums. Progres 2 had one excellent albums and a few decent ones. Jazz Q has a couple great albums and a few decent ones. I'm excited to hear their "new" album. I'm not as familiar with Psi Vojaci, but from what I've heard I didn't like them as much as the other three.

I also agree that my overall favorite Czech band is Blue Effect--they had a string of excellent albums throughout the 70s.

Of those not mentioned in the thread so far, don't forget these:

Flamengo, and their excellent Kure V Hodinkach
Cuprum, wonderful 70s styled modern band
Hokr/Pocoloco--you just have to hear them--both Hokr and Pocoloco's only album are all excellent (I'm not as big a fan of the side project Abigail)

Lots of great music from this region!

Someone mentioned ENERGIT earlier in the thread.  I have this compilation that was released in 2008 and it is great smoking fusion!

Thanks . I like CUPRUM and I guess, I wrote a short comment about them (Brahma Visnu Siva album) in Progfreak but I list oldest and Underrated band in this list. Perhaps I lost many of great bands like Blue Effect. I know them and I have some of their 70's albums. They are one of the Jazz music Icons and I know this.I don't want explain about this poll with long post. I love these 4 bands and this isn't mean I don't like others. Smile

No explanation needed! For me the best part about the polls is to hear what others think, including thoughts about bands that are related to but not listed in the polls. I've learned a lot about bands and music I wasn't previously familiar with. 

Nice poll!

This man obviously knows what he's talking aboutCool
Without a doubt my favourite album from the Czech Republic. Out there, wild and rambunctious...in all the right places!!!
Oh and I voted for Jazz Q.
