By far SBB. Silesian Blues Band,then Search Break and Build. They are the longest running.Their early stuff is in the Euro prog style fashonined by Eloy,Focus,Finch,Le Orme,Anyone,s Daughter,Solaris, ect...Lush spacy keys supported by agile drumming and flamboyent yet restrained guitars. ------------- What's gonna come out of my mouth is gonna come out of my soul."Skip Prokop" |

EXODUS - I prefer "Supernova", but I agree "The Most Beautiful Day" is very good album too. AFTER - if it's possible, please, some more information. "For Quidam fans" sounds so intriguing. ------------- Who are you and who am I to say we know the reason why... (D. Gilmour) |

Hello NotAProgHead In After there is a bass player from Quidam and there are many guests like Jacek Zasada (Quidam), Józef Skrzek (SBB) and Colin Bass (Camel). The album is called "Endless Lunatic". Check here http://www.after.art.pl - http://www.after.art.pl for free MP3 Regards |

Thank you very much, Spacemac. Interesting band. I listened the samples and I can say I like band's sound and plan to buy the album. By the way, does anyone know about pania Derkowska after her departure from Quidam? Is she still in music? ------------- Who are you and who am I to say we know the reason why... (D. Gilmour) |

A couple of years ago I would have said QUIDAM, but their recent album was awful... Satellite are good, but I choose Riverside, both their albums are very good and I truly believe they have a very solid future ahead. |

S B B By far. I know most of these bands and many of them are/were good but nothing is comparable to Silesian Blues Band. Just listen to their album "Memento Z Banalnym Tryptykiem". One of the best symphonic prog albums ever! Every prog fan should know this one. Riverside and Collage are also awesome! |

I've only heard Riverside, Collage and SBB and out of
those three I go for SBB. Riverside haven't made enough albums yet but
if they carry on as they have so far then one day they might get my
vote. Collage aren't in the same league in my opinion.

I've heard 11 bands from this list, and from what I've heard I think Skaldowie are the best. Indukti are very interesting although being metal, and SBB are good, but two albums by Skaldowie, especially "Krywan", which I got to know recently, made me to vote for this band.

But there are also Abraxas, Collage, Satellite, Skaldowie, Riverside, Indukti and Quidam.
