As I only allow one entry for per band*, I ran out of favorites and had to add 1984. According to me 1980-1981 showed that prog was vital as ever - while the three following years; not as much. Still lots of lovely albums to be found here. If you know a few pick a favorite and if you don't why not start getting acquainted with a some of them.

*How about if you wanted to vote for Univers Zéro Uzed or Art Zoyd Les Espaces Inquiets perhaps just vote for the available option and specify in the comment section?... and while we're at it why not give your vote to Zanov if you wanted to vote for Marillion - or maybe Fabio Frizzi if you'd prefer one of the two Rush albums released (which btw the album is also known as Paura Nella Cittŕ dei Morti Viventi). Just let us know lol.

Rather innovative and lovely isn't it?
 
Zanov - a genuis

Fabio Frizzi - where Morte Macabre got their whole sound from (and a couple of the tunes)

Went with Art Zoyd for the poll.


And "The Shockingly Decent" might be the best inadvertent band name suggestion ever.

There are quite a few on this list that I don't know, so I cannot vote.

I've only heard Dead Can Dance and Kate Bush. I have a Danielle Dax album but not that one.

Not sure the DCD album can be described as prog either, if it's the one I'm thinking of. It's more goth/world music. Quite good though.

Yes Its not really prog but that can be said about almost every DCD-album. I think DCD's approach to what they brought to the table was progressive right from the start though - which is more important to me than whether the music fits the "prog"-term.

Yes, I agree, they were certainly 'progressive' if not actual prog. Intriguing band.

Haven't heard any of them but this is the great thing about this site. I never want for new bands to check out.

Went with Yog Sothoth (obviously), but I will say that the DCD debut gets a lot of play from me lately...very cool old-school goth rock.

I've only heard about half of them but voted for Fabio Frizzi closely followed by Univers Zéro. Nice selection instead of the usual albums. I liked the Zanov and am off to search youtube for the whole album to listen to.

Add to the list l: Henry Kaiser - Devil in the Drain, Fred Frith and Henry Kaiser - With Friends Like These..., French, Frith, Kaiser and Thompson - Live Love Larf and Loaf

From the list: Art Zoyd with Univers Zero runner up. Then again, other than Kate Bush and Dead Can Dance I don't know the rest, so I haven't voted.
