What´s your favourite European Prog Rock band or solo artist?
 
(If anybody don´t comprehend why I´ve eliminated artists from United Kingdom, I´ll make clear him separately. I think my reason is entirely outright.Wink)

Favourite would have to be The Flower Kings, but special mention would have to go to PFM, Karmakanic, and Riverside based upon present listening tastes.
