Supportive it was, yes, but mostly I use earlier comments as a springboard to go off on Tangents while boring myself and everyone else silly.  Sleepy 
Just a fanboy passin' through.

Some discord in what styles of prog  eclectic and symph even covers......and I agree on a number of bands.

For instance I have always thought of White Willow as symphonic in nature (with some  eclectic and prog folk mixed )and IQ as symphonic even though they and others have been placed in 'neo-prog' what ever the hell that is.

Spock's Beard but I really had no idea that symphonic prog existed post '79. Which reminds me, Wobbler could be one of the others. Maybe Transatlantic? Anekdoten? Bit not of my world as they sound too much like their influences (from what I've heard). Mostly Autumn perhaps (with the DG worshipping guitarist) and that other band based around PF's Echoes? Probably wrong sub-sub-sub genre. My fault.

Oh well, too bad, never mind.

White Willow
 
White Willow has an interesting soundscape but i felt them excessively folk for me to enjoy them better, maybe beacuse i knew only the albums Ignus Factus and Storm Season, from which i only care for "Sally Left" and "The Withering Of The Boughs" (this from Ignus Factus).

They're certainly very folky on the first two albums, Ignis Fatuus The Withering of the Boughs is an excellent song BTW) and Ex Tenebris, but it's much more balanced on Sacrament and there's virtually no folk at all on Storm Season. Signal to Noise is a bit more Neo Prog in tone and Terminal Twilight is an exceptional Symph Prog album, evoking the classics without sounding like any of them.

 
Thanks, i'll check it out, as i'm a huge fan of Symph Prog.

symphonic and 'neo' can crossover admittedly. IQ's first proper album Tales From The Lush Attic is really symphonic and probably Marillion's as well yet their second albums I feel fully established a newer prog style that was distinct and different to say early Genesis. So that was the birth of 'neo' in my eyes but then its changed over the years when you think of albums like Marbles and Pallas - Dreams Of Men. Its more about when the bands started than trying to pin down the exact style although this gets very confusing when you think of a band like Big Big Train who could comfortably fall into more than one camp (but that doesn't make them 'crossover' thoughLOL)

I like everything here, but I'll vote for Discipline.
When he rides, my fears subside.
For darkness turns once more to light.
Through the skies, his white horse flies.
To find a land beyond the night.

I'll go with Discipline. I have one FK and one SB, but they never caught on with me.  The rest I don't know.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...
