Rings of Saturn are an extreme metal band from California featuring extreme levels of ear torturing screaming vocals that prominently feature in this genre of music.  For them, I have chosen this djent instrumental from their most recent release Gidim from 2019.  The instrumental is also called Gidim and was released on Nuclear Blast.

Jean Louis are kind of a cheat band for this poll, but there don't appear to be any bands with Uranus in their names here on PA, so instead I went with Jean Louis, whose third album was titled Uranus.  They are an avant trio from France featuring trumpet, bass, and drums.  For them I have chosen the song Uranus from Uranus, just because it felt appropriate for the poll.

Silas Neptune is a band sure to appeal to fans of the Ozric Tentacles as it is the side project of Silas Wynne, and includes appearances from other OT band members including Ed Wynne.  For them, I have included The Feathers of Ma'at the lead song off of their sole album from 2017 The Scales of Tahuti.

I also love The Mars Volta, and it would have been difficult which one to choose, but I would still have gone for The Mercury Tree.

Oh yeah, forgot about that one. It's in my list of Bandcamp things to buy. Thanks for reminding me! Thumbs Up

Lastly, although Pluto is technically no longer a planet, it was a planet back in Prog's heyday, so included is Pluto, a solo project from Norway of Petter Espen Guthe, who also participated in Pluto and the Planets.  They are listed here at PA under Crossover prog.  I have included here, the song The Dreamer from 1980 debut album Voyage Into A Dreamer's Mind.

Further to my previous post, I have listened to six of the nine listed here, but I have to admit, I took into account any bands I knew who had the planets in their name. So I included The Mars Volta in my thought process, even though they were not listed. Jupiter seemed to me to be the only planet that I owned three different bands from (without going to my collection to check, as my collection is large enough that some things inevitably slip my mind).

Just wondering if anyone else voted in this way? Or did you all just vote based on the bands listed? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

Yeah, I though so....just me! 🤪🤪🤪

My favourites of the three I knew (Mercury Rev not as well) are Jean Louis and Earth & Fire. I am going with the latter specifically for this, which is one of my favourites pieces of music:

Mars Hollow are mostly forgotten these days. They put out two albums about ten to twelve years ago then broke up never to reform. Some members went on to form Heliopolis. Anyway, if you said the Mars Volta they would probably get a lot of votes. 
As mentioned by AFlowerKingCrimon, they are a crossover prog band from the US who released a couple of albums on the 10T record label.

This song, Midnight, is from their 2010 debut album.


Yep. I only have the first album and should probably play it again. Crossover? Well, they are sort of similar to Spock's Beard I guess so if SB are crossover then that fits MH as well. They do have strong elements of symph prog imo(Yes, Genesis, Camel and a bit of ELP).

Rings of Saturn simply because nobody else on PA is going to vote for that band, EVER, and Lucas Mann is a stand up professional guy!

the name "Venus in Fear" does in my opinion have nothing at all to do with the planet venus. it is an allusion to the famous novel "Venus im Pelz" ("Venus in Furs") by Leopold von Sacher-Masoch. the novel is about a man who voluntarily becomes the slave of a dominant woman who for him incorporates the Goddess Venus. this novel is where the word "masochism" comes from

  I found this avant gem from 2020 that could have stood in for Neptune.  The band is Neptunian Maximalism.

This sounds quite good! From your list I know Earth & Fire, of course, and I heard some of Mercury Tree and Mars Hollow, but I'm not familiar with the others... Not eager to get familiar with the metally things, but some of the others intrigue me... Will explore more before eventually voting.
