Many of these are in the top 250 so i'd hardly call them not so well known, but there are some gems here for sure. I honestly can't pick one but i;ll pick a few. Osanna, Supersister, Weidorje, Marsupilami, Samla Mamas Manna, Dun and Moving Gelatine Plates all tie for first place! Everything else is a close 2nd!  -------------  https://rateyourmusic.com/~siLLy_puPPy |

That was the reason why I opted for "not so well known" instead of "obscure" gems. Granted. It's a terrible name for a poll. |

I have to come clean. I haven't heard Trace or Sinkadus so they don't come in 2nd :P ------------- https://rateyourmusic.com/~siLLy_puPPy |

Many excellent albums, but because Inga Rumpf is so very underappreciated here I'll go with "Frumpy 2". "Weidörje", "Clearlight Symphony", "Celestial Ocean", "Electric Silence" and "Arena" would have been my other possible choices. -------------  BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |

Lot of old favourites here... most of them really. As for 2018 I would go for one of these five: The World Of Genius Hans To The Highest Bidder Eros St. Radigunds Haikara -------------

| Haikara is the only album I´ve heard from these, but because it´s so great, I voted it. |

Some nice ones here. I pick Supersister, but Jan Dukes de Grey, Clearlight and the Zeuhl albums are also fine. -------------

Birds by Trace is the only album of those I would really want to own and play regularly, though Garden Shed is very nice. ------------- A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life. |

Check out MIA's "Cornonstipicum", or Sinkadus "Cirkus" if you don't already know these. I think you may like them. |

| I don't know them all, but that Frumpy album is great, so it got my vote :) |

| I have heard St. Radigunds (didn´t notice it at first), but I don´t think it´s as great as Haikara. I prefer Pentangle & Fairport Convention. |

Frustrating or interesting, it depends. I know I'm not the very best expert on prog but a long list of not totally obscure stuff of which I know so little (only 2 full albums and bits and pieces from a few others) hurts... I vote for Samla Mammas Manna despite this not being their best effort for me.

Wow. This is a tough poll. So much great stuff here. But ultimately I voted Sinkadus, just over Clearlight Symphony. For those who haven't heard Sinkadus, YOU ARE MISSING OUT! Anyone who likes Anglagaard or Anekdoten should appreciate Sinkadus as well. ------------- PROGMATIC |

Lots of favorites that I regularly spin here. My winner is: Asia Minor (either of their 1st 2 albums would've gotten my vote, though Between Flesh & Divine is the better of the 2) Followed by: Maxophone Devil Doll Clearlight SBB England ------------- https://wytchcrypt.wixsite.com/mutiny-in-jonestown" rel="nofollow - Mutiny in Jonestown : Progressive Rock Since 1987 |

| Very tough to choose among the Dun, the Samlas, the Weidorje, Shub Niggurath and especially the excellent Present album. But I went with the Höyry-Kone. |

First vote for SBB. Could vote just as easily for Trace, another favorite. Clearlight, Brainticket, MIA — also classics. ------------- https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ipg=50&_sop=1&_rdc=1&_ssn=musicosm" rel="nofollow - eBay |

Maybe check out Jan Dukes de Grey to start. I love most of the albums on this list, but will give the first vote for Dun's Eros. |

The albums by Maxophone, SBB, England (Poisoned Youth is a top notch epic) and MGP are great. Even though it isn't in the same league, I quite enjoy Arena by Marsupilami. But...my vote goes to Osanna's Palepoli. A top three RPI record. ------------- Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement. |

I was intentioned to abstain, but the Shub Niggurath album with the vocalist out of one quarter of tone to make it disarmonic is the best horrorific interpretation of HP Lovecraft's tail that I've ever heard, followed by Azrael's Azatoth. ------------- Curiosity killed a cat, Schroedinger only half.

So many awesome albums to choose from, but I think "Memento..." by SBB is my favorite beacause of just how heartwarming it is. ------------- Bez pierdolenia sygnał zerwie, to w realia wychodź w hełmie! |

| I must admit I don't know some of them. The ones I know, I'll pick SBB and Asia Minor, great music on these albums. |

Its a hard one. But I´ve never been blown away at first listening like with Mice And Rats In The Loft (pure folky dancy tuney ditty eargasm (you´re probably respecting me less after that one xD). Only one comes near that was probably my prog introduction Tools The Patient (never heard such godlike noises until that day) Honorable Mentions: The ultimate prog masturbation album Eros by Dün The lovely one with A girl named you ; ) Recently Discovered PALEPOLI!! And extra honour to braintickets CO for the "another universe part thats really just like what its called for me" |

Another bump with a vote to Haikara' self titled debut, the best ever Finnish prog album.  to Weidorje, Höyry-kone, Frumpy and Osanna, too. |

I missed this one too and loads of great albums to pick from but I went with Sinkadus this time. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |
