Personally, I can't believe Harmonium is winning. I find them a bit dull. Whereas, Saga has put out consistently good music for over 30 years. Saga's music is full of dynamics something I don't hear in Harmonium.
A GREAT YEAR FOR PROG!!!

Its a mystery why Mystery does not get more love. Awesome band , great players and an amazing vocalist (Sorry, Mr.Squire!) . Huis is pretty cool too. 
I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

I believe I had heard some Harmonium a few years ago, but I don't recall anything about their music at this juncture.

Lush symph, a bit high-handed but very good


Thanks for the feedback. I'll check them out.

Do not mention this please! Justin Bieber??? you are causing me to vomit...


Actually, I don't really even know any Justin Bieber music. I think I heard something in a public place once or twice that was him, but I just don't remember what it was like. Just generic modern pop music. What I heard wasn't even particularly repulsive, I think, otherwise I would remember it... just... forgettable. Or perhaps I was lucky not to hear something more repulsive.

I think she can be found in the to-be-defined subgenre of Skip Prog, maybe under the bandname ABBEY DAWN.

... and where is Alanis Morissette ?

Wonder how Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson would fare given that they are "only" solo artists.

I'll vote for Harmonium, but I also like Mystery.
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.

Yes, ok, I think that what I find repulsive is this kind of musical business which create this kind of figures, just like a bit of plastic or canned food. In fact I do not remember what I have listened from him...

There was an act called Symphonic Slam which had Timo Laine with a syntheiszed guitar, no bass player, the keyboardist David Stone (who went on to Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow) would handle both bass and keyboards. They opened for Rush in 1976.  Here's a YouTube link to the opening track, "Universe"  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIYPHh6GENQ
