Pretty simple thread. But lets give everyone (including me) a chance to update a reasonable list for modern prog favorites. 

Inspired by the Top 50 Prog Albums Thread that everyone had so many problems with in the first place, so go ahead and give your own list for it. 

I'll post mine later. 


Woooo

When I posted my list in the other thread, it was difficult to get it down to 50, I think 20 would be impossible.

Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005



Posted By: kenethlevine

I thought I would have trouble finding 20;  instead I had to limit it to 45 by separating out prog folk!
Every one that I posted is at least a 4 star album to me, and not all 4 star albums were included.
I love prog at the cellular level;  most of what I like would be on the softer melodic side, although I know everyone has different ideas on what that means.

Ken, both your lists are very cool, and contain a few personal favs of mine. Into the Labyrinth is probably my favourite DCD album, and "How Fortunate the Man With None" my favourite song by the band.

BTW, I will try to come up with a list of my own, though choosing only 20 won't be easy.

Dungen - 4
Current 93 - Thunder Perfect Mind
Setna - Guérison
Kayo Dot - Coffins On Io
Boredoms - Vision Creation Newsun
Doctor Nerve (w/ Sirius String Quartet) - Ereia

That is one sweet albumClap......and probably my fave from them in the 90s. The Ubiquitous Mr. Lovegrove is the bee's knees.
I do however vastly prefer their 80s albums. Spleen & Ideal + Within The Realm Of A Dying Sun are both masterpieces imo.

I think I just 'forgot' about them the first time around - just like I'm forgetting some right this minute (I'm visiting my folks, which means I have to remember what I've got in my collectionLOL).

Btw have you ever checked out NIL?

I will look for forward to it!  I agree about both the album and song by DCD.  Aion was a close second.  I like only having one choice per band for a whole variety of reasons.

Oh no, your list is totally cool!
Collage, Eris Pluvia, Sagrado: good that you mention them, very special bands!
I didn't mean to debase other lists, most certainly not yours!
BTW I saw Red Jasper twice in concert.
Cool list by all means

Well, you're on of his musical mentors, so if you say so...
I suppose some of us are young dogs (regardless of age), ready for the revolution start tomorrow. No, make that today...
I'm only just exploring new prog, enthusiastic but still with one foot steadily set in tradition.
One foot and three toes, to be more precise

Well you have something to look forward to then. Sorta like an ethereal yet avant take on Crimson mixed with One Shot. Hard to describe really.
The only available albums of theirs at the moment is the above mentioned and Nil Novo Sub Sole - trust me I've been looking high and low for the early releases though sadly to no avail.

ehh... baby steps man.

Book M crashed the top 20 party  (I simply can't stop listening to it) but suspect .. give it a year...  some of the other stuff I've picked up on via the polls will sink as deeply as that one did and likely find their ways onto my personal top 20. Thumbs Up

Cool list, I must say   


um, my list is hardly focused on the "prog stars" 
but I suppose it is not as cool Clap


Oh no, your list is totally cool!
Collage, Eris Pluvia, Sagrado: good that you mention them, very special bands!
I didn't mean to debase other lists, most certainly not yours!
BTW I saw Red Jasper twice in concert.
Cool list by all means

merci Marcel
no Belgians in the list, sadly.  Do you know the album "If only stones could speak" by Bollenberg experience?  I quite like it but didn't think it quite rose to the top.  I did include a few French language artists

No, I don't know the album. I do know the person, although not directly. He was also a music journalist (and maybe still is) for a Dutch prog magazine and I saw him once at a Porcupine Tree concert, and I heard of the album, but haven't heard the music itself.

To be honest, I don't have any Belgians in the list myself.
