Pattern-Seeking Animals. I still need to give their newest album a listen. Sometimes there are exceptions to onions, and these are mostly trucks, plungers, and sit-ups. ------------- ---------- i'm shopping for a new oil-cured sinus bag that's a happy bag of lettuce this car smells like cartilage nothing beats a good video about fractions |

Only flying animals are seeking pattern colors. Neither. |

Being a Spock's Beard fan, I've dabbled with both but nothing really grabbed me. It was a while ago though so maybe I will revisit both bands

| I slightly like Flying Colors more, so it gets my vote. Both are great bands to me. |

How is that possible? I thought you knew practically every band on the planet.

If either band are British then I probably would've heard of them by now, but I'm guessing they're from either Canada or the United States, as they're two prog nations I haven't explored yet. It'd also explain why you've heard of them and I haven't. In the meantime, I have a sumo-sized mass of Japanese Prog to explore. Sayonara.

I think all members are from the US. I guess you need to take a little boat ride over here. Time to cross the pond Paul!

Paul, when you cross the pond I'll buy you dinner at my favorite barbecue restaurant! As you should know, KC has the best BBQ in the world.

The only pond I'll be crossing is the pond at the end of my street after all the rainfall we had recently, but thanks for the offer anyway. |

In Pennsylvania we eat rocks. It's why the Appalachians are so much shorter than the Rockies. ------------- ---------- i'm shopping for a new oil-cured sinus bag that's a happy bag of lettuce this car smells like cartilage nothing beats a good video about fractions |

I read that as KFC has the best Barbecue. Not sure why my brain added the K. It must have had a long day. Lol.

Flying Colors gets the nod. ------------- Welcome to the middle of the film. |

I guess you've heard of Steve Morse, Neal Morse and Mike Portnoy though? Flying Colours are a bone fide supergropup while I think it's harder to make a case for PSA (Jimmy Keegan on drums is nowhere near as well know as Portnoy for instance). I voted for PSA mainly because they have more interesting albums overall although the first Flying Colours album is well worth checking out.

^ Yes, Steve Morse was/is the guitarist with Deep Purple, Neal Morse is the man behind Spock's Beard and Mike Portnoy is the original drummer with Dream Theater.

| I would recommend checking out the first album by both bands. Both are excellent. I bought Flying Colors' second album and it wasn't as good, and I haven't really managed to get into the other PSA albums yet. |

| ^ there is a new Pattern-Seeking Animals album just released. I had a listen yesterday and like it although it's nothing earth shattering. |

This a very close call for me as I have both these bands catalogues and listen to them both about equally, but I still have to nod slightly in Pattern-Seeking Animals direction. ------------- I should have been a pair of ragged claws Scuttling across the floors of uncertain seas |

Admittedly, I don't know many American prog bands, but I know a man who does.  |

^ Yep he's fun! I recommend his top 100 female artists show that goes on for 3 days and includes about 678 musicians (not really!) SPOILERS! His list of USA top 25 prog bands:
