Fan favored NeoProg band IQ has been around a while, been through various lineup changes, and yet has managed to produce eight (8) highly rated albums over the past 35 years. Of these (ordered by average rating score, bottom to top), which do you think is their most significant contribution to Prog World? ------------- Drew Fisher https://progisaliveandwell.blogspot.com/ |

Well...two separate questions would lead to two separate answers. For the first...Either The Wake, Dark Matter, or The Road Of Bones. For the second, either Tales..., or The Wake. Since The Wake is the only one that appears in both my lists, I guess I'll vote for that. ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |

The Wake - wonderfully dark and had a great effect on me. I love most of their other albums - very consistent - but you never forget your first love! ------------- “Living in their pools, they soon forget about the sea.” |

My two favorites have been Dark Matter and Frequency since they both came out...I think they are more mature and dynamic than Ever or the earlier ones....having said that I think Road of Bones is also very good but it doesn't grab me as much melodically as do the other two. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone.

| Road of Bones. Unlike many of you, I'm late to the IQ bandwagon. Yet, I own all their albums. |

I have not heard all of these, but their earlier work, including Nomzamo and Are You Sitting Comfortably?, are in my collection. My favourite is The Wake. -------------

Where IS "Subterranea" on this list? Last I checked, it was an album by IQ, so shouldn't it be included? ------------- PROGMATIC |

So sorry! I do not remember seeing your "thread" (was it in a poll form)? Perhaps I received a subliminal prompt which led me to create this one. Was it about "best" as opposed to "favorite"? (Which, in my opinion, are two different things.) Anyway, sorry to steal from your glory or stomp on your tail. I plead ignorance! ------------- Drew Fisher https://progisaliveandwell.blogspot.com/ |

Hey, it's no problem! I like the fact that IQ get discussed a lot, they're the best. And surely it beats the million pages about The Flower Kings...  |

I'm surprised Frequency only got two votes ,,,maybe a few forgot to tick the vote box. To me it's so similar to Dark Matter that it could have been a double album. Even though Wake and Ever are solid the last 3 albums have been their best imho. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

With 1 vote your limited. Maybe if these polls gave options for 3 votes...
... We will see quite a diverse result. |

| Where's Subterrenea? That should have won if it was listed as an option. All great albums though. |

WOW! I am SO SORRY to all Subterranea fans! I don't know how I skipped over it with its 3.96 ratings average! I don't know how to edit/redo the poll, otherwise I would! So sorry to let you all down!
