I've done at least one similar poll but not quite like this.
Also, it was a bit tricky to figure out where to make the cut offs for this but I chose 1980 since it was the beginning of a decade and 2001 since it was the beginning of a new millenium. For the other end I figured I would just say late sixties since it's debatable as to when prog actually started. Edited by AFlowerKingCrimson - June 29 2020 at 18:22 |

I changed it at the last minute to say "mostly old...."etc. I can't imagine anyone on here living under a rock so much that they aren't even curious as to what's been going on in prog in the past 30 plus years or so.

It's not going to be hard to guess what people on this site will pick!

Maybe, maybe not. This site has a lot of younger fans and it seems to me most younger fans are into more recent prog.

I guess I'm not most younger fans. I have started dipping my toes into recent prog with decent results, but for me the cream of the crop was in the 70s. Frankly it was online lists and reviews like we have hear at PA in part which steered me towards the 70s classics in the first place.

Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)

Maybe this site is different than other online prog discussion forums.

I'm with Bill Martin's 'Listening to the Future' which covered the period 68-78. He notes the last, great prog rock album was Henry Cow's 'Western Culture'. What is also notable is that the band never reformed after they split (unless you count the Lindsay Cooper tribute shows of 2014) but the individual members continued to push the boundaries. Of course, progressive music has continued but most prog-rock became parody and pastiche. Some of which I love. Spock's Beard for example are hardly original but they carry it with such flair and panache that you can't help enjoying their music - even if it is firmly rooted in the 70s.

Mostly 69 - 79. There's good stuff in all era's of course, but there was an abundance of it back then.

Old and Newer
I do like some prog from 80's and 90's but generally my collection is dominated by seventies and the last 20 years.

Definitely late-60's to 1979 without a doubt. I only review albums from that classic era of prog.

Voted for the 80s and 90s. I may be the only one, but for me it seems very beneficial that during that time prog seemed to be dead or at least sleeping as a "genre", and those who did good music and are listed in PA now as "prog" by and large didn't do stuff based on or catering for genre cliches; they rather went their own new way and were at times hugely creative (Cardiacs and Talk Talk come to mind, but there are many others). As I've written elsewhere, nothing that sails too safely inside well defined genre boundaries can be properly progressive, and in my musical mind "progressive" may beat "prog rock". Which should not take anything away from the hugely progressive stuff that was around end 60s, early 70s, but being in my teenage years and twenties in the 80s and early 90s, much of that era will be closer to my spirit.

95% of the prog I listen to was recorded between 1969-1979.

Option one for sure, though I also enjoy a lot of the other eras.

I can't listen to the same album or band continuously. The last ten years of prog has been superb. 2019 had so many incredible releases and more choices than ever. The 80's were kind of weak, but still great albums from Rush, Holdsworth, Gabriel, Metheny, and KC. So I vote for all three equally.
No offense Mike, but did think the outcome of this poll would would be anything other than option one? |
