I might struggle to fill 25 slots in any single year from 1990 onwards. Smile

If you do have issues filling slots, I'd be willing to help out—I listen to quite a lot of modern prog as its how I was introduced to the genre as a whole.

The only problem is, the only two artists I'm familiar with out of those you mentioned are Dream Theater and Porcupine Tree. Smile
Yes, well I'm not familiar with Thank You Scientist or Big Big Train yet - hope to get their stuff later - they're just what came to mind.

I'd choose Tangerine Dream, but only because I haven't heard any albums by Eloy. Smile

Really...well, you're in for a ride. They're probably the best band you've never checked out! I second the recommendation for Colours.


Thanks for the recommendation. There are so many great bands and albums out there still waiting for me to check out for the first time. I'd never even heard of Nektar or Eloy before I first went online in 2010. Smile

Peter Gabriel - 3: Melt
No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.
