Some notes:

As I have done before, ones that I know I missed for earlier polls (arranged alphabetically) I add to the start of later ones. I added David Axelrod, who I had thought of before as I love his early albums, and even suggested him for PA, but not added for some reason. Horslips was mentioned by Barry Glibb recently. I have heard The Tain, but it's not a band that I have explored much. I added Egisto Macchi, which is not in PA, but I think a good addition (love Macchi). Definitely thought about adding him before, can't remember why I did not. Morricone is a favourite of mine and I wasn't going to add him at first despite having many relevant albums. I have not gone with his earliest this time (he has a ton) and have started with the RateYourMusic list without showing all (similar with Miles Davis). That said, if I continue with these, then I would add ones on RYM's list that are only visible if you choose "show all". One might find various "debuts" that are questionable, and some acts that are questionable, but for me these are all relevant acts, some more than others to be sure -- even though particular albums by acts may not be that suitable for a Prog poll as acts can be diverse across discographies.

Ant Phillips, APP, and Oldfield get the nods this time.

No, that's what I meant by "These are the studio album debuts, or in couple of cases at least, early works..." (I was thinking of Morricone and Davis) and "Morricone is a favourite of mine and I wasn't going to add him at first despite having many relevant albums. I have not gone with his earliest this time (he has a ton) and have started with the RateYourMusic list without showing all (similar with Miles Davis). That said, if I continue with these, then I would add ones on RYM's list that are only visible if you choose "show all." One could call it cheating, but I did try to show my hand.

Anthony Phillips, Le Ome, Nektar, Porcupine Tree, Horslips.

Oldfield & Floyd

Oldfield, Parsons, Floyd.

Horslips by far.

Oldfield, POS, PT, Opeth, PV
