I voted for Magenta because they've always been one of my favourite Neo-Prog bands and I'm not really familiar with the other four bands in your poll. I've heard of Pendragon, but I haven't listened to any of their music.

Pendragon from the list. Would have been IQ if listed.

Easily Lifesigns for me, although I do very much like Pendragon and Magenta.

Definitely worth checking out, have a look at Manning's back catalogue as well (Guy Manning is a forum member here).

From this list - I've no idea so I mention Diagonal. They released 3 great albums.
First self-titled album is very eclectic and diverse (from dirty hammond, electric piano, mellotron, heavy guitar to saxophone) Second has more jazz-rock jam psych style with even more saxophone- also very good. This year they released 3rd album "Arc" - it moves toward more atmospheric, introspective style - but played with great skill and sense of classic prog composition. Not as bombastic as first album or transe-intensive as second, but very good! |

I love them but I'm not sure about them being neo prog as such. They are quire hard to classify though. I wouldn't put them in crossover or symph either although if there was such a thing as 'crossover symph' then that that may do it  Edited by richardh - October 07 2019 at 00:52 |

Magenta We Are Legend is a brilliant album and one of their best. They did a live album which crossed that and their other great album and called it appropriately We Are Seven. Highly recommended.

Yeah, deliberate omission along with The Tangent as I was interested to see who would win out of these bands.
