Well i Know they're all excellent Bands , but , Pioneers by there own Ways , all of them ( approximately !) where active during the seventies , and they're fairly Rated in Progarchives ! i mean their Albums . Anyway , this Poll is not to show who's the best among them , it's only my Way to Figure out from you Proggers , are some of these bands mentioned above deserves more credit than they took in 4 decades !! for instance , do you feel that , one way or another , some of these bands didn't get what they deserves !! explaining my idea this way , just to help you out ( i always though in the Early 70's , that Eloy & Pink Floyd are the same band , but it wasn't , Eloy used to have there own Blend & their own beauty . ) and the Difference between them was only the Label Company , much more activities around the Globe , the Floyds are British , but Eloy were German , using another language !! it Goes to Gong , Focus , Omega , Le Orme and a lot further more // you're allowed to choose more than one band , but Please , be accurate in your answers , i need to hear the Truth from You //

Le Orme, but there's nothing underrated about these bands.

Very tough choice between Le Orme, Amon Duul II, and Gong, but went with Le Orme.

Gong and Fruupp. ![]() |

I am currently digging:
Hawkwind, Rare Bird, Gong, Tangerine Dream, Khan, Iron Butterfly, and all things canterbury and hard-psych. I also love jazz! Please drop me a message with album suggestions. |

Eloy-i remember it was only by accident that i even heard of the band (finding a lone used lp copy of Inside in 1989)
Certainly deserve to be focused on more than they are. |

It's not easy to pick one to be honest...le orme, can, omega and fruupp are tied..and the winner is Eloy ! |

My interest in Le Orme was kindled earlier this year by La Maschera di Cera´s album+ I knew only the name of the band because it was mentioned on PA now and then. Stackridge is another band that deserves more appreciation.

I can tell you whom I like the most, but to ponder who is most underrated makes my head spin. What does that even mean?
Can is my favorite band here. |

^Ditto on that Steve.
Underrated? Hmmm... I voted for Amon Düül ll - mostly because they today are my fave band out of this lot, but also because I find them rather under-appreciated on PA. I gather their brand of pseudo rock perhaps is too much for the symphonic velvet connoisseurs, who probably are the majority of folks I suspect. Conversely, CAN gets a lot more positive attention, but I gather it's down to the funky danceable grooves and enigmatic power of Damo.

I can never vote on these polls, I like a lot of these bands equally. And I don't think they are considered underrated either.

My vote has to go with Gong, followed by Eloy as a close second.
And to echo some of the other comments, I'm not sure these could be defined as "underrated". Maybe less-remembered as we plow through the 21st century, but not underrated. |

I think Can and Gong get plenty of credit among prog fans, so I voted Agitation Free even though I prefer the former two

I voted Eloy and Le Orme.
Kind of an odd poll as several of these bands reached a worldwide fan base (Kansas, Styx, Supertramp, Focus, Kraftwerk, Gong, Soft Machine) and were readily available in mainstream record stores like Tower and The Wherehouse...as such I don't see how they could possibly be considered "underrated".

Ummm...I did read your post several times and stand by my opinion. Kansas, Styx, Supertramp, Focus, Kraftwerk, Gong, & Soft Machine received worldwide acclaim, record distribution and credit and therefore can't be considered "underrated"
