20 albums I could think of (of these years), there are many others but those are for another one, of course if this poll gets some votes and comments. |

Thrre of my favourite albums of all time here. Rajaz, Subterranea and The Masquerade Overture are all so brilliant, I just can't choose. Yet. And some of the others are pretty damn good, too. ------------- A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life. |

I love several of these listed, but "Stupid Dream" tops my list of favorite PT (tied with Lightbulb Sun and Signify). Surprised it's not getting more votes. Rajaz is great but my favorite "later" Camel album is Harbour of Tears. If it had been between Harbour and Stupid Dream, I would have had a hard time making a decision. ------------- PROGMATIC |

| Voted for Subterranea. The Visitor is perhaps my next one, with Masquerade Overture. A good trio to recommend to someone wanting to discover Neo. |

Being the biggest Radiohead fanboy ever, I have no choice but to vote for Computer, but Test For Echo would've been next. ------------- There is no dark side in the moon, really... Matter of fact, it's all dark... |

Lots of great ones here to choose from here. I'm voting DT - Scenes From A Memory, as good as it gets in the prog metal field. |

 Sorry Cristi, but our tastes really don't jive well together. The only one I really like here is Stupid Dream (and I don't want to use the other option). ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

Absolutely Ocean Machine. Very good list of great albums though, but to me, Ocean Machine is truly a Masterpiece. Truly Brilliant, with it's dark themes, and passionate song writing transcending most Rock/Metal music IMO. I might choose Radiohead, but honestly, I really like Kid A better than OK Computer. But that's just me.

not just you . OK Computer to me is exactly like a modern Dark Side Of The Moon (some great tracks but the sum of the parts doesn't add up to much) . Anyway my choice is Stupid Dream. Not exactly an exciting album has to be said but no real weak moments. I used to regard the IQ album has my favourite bar nothing. Strap on then headphones and away we go. At some point I stopped bothering with headphones (probably when I moved into a detached house )Others - some Mansun would have been nice ( Six) or Par Lindh Project's Mundus Incompertus which is sadly overlooked. |

I forgot about Pain of Salvation, it's funny how sometimes one forgets about the obvious ones If you like POS, maybe you should give Sieges Even or Conception a chance.  Sad to see Fates Warning hasn't got any votes yet, APSoG is an amazing album. |

You've put the *other* as an option. In case you did not put the *other* as an option, why not to click on something at your list. Do not put *other* option if you don't like that people click on it. Very simple, isn't? EDIT: Are you perhaps a candidate for a collab? If you are, then I understand your outburst. Sh*t on me, and that's the best recommendation for that.

I choose to find it funny and not insulting since you have NEVER chosen anything from my polls and then only suggest Smak or other bands from your country which only you and very few others (and I bet all your countrymen) know about. I find your Smak fanboyism annoying. Maybe we just don't have much in common in music tastes. The "other " option is for those who don't like my options or hopefully to mention something I've missed or do not know and in the end it would be my gain to discover some new music. |

There aren't only U.S. / UK bands in Archives, sorry.
[/QUOTE]so people put "other" in the poll to find out about the existence of some obscurity they will never get the chance to listen to a full length album It's frustrating; a while ago I listend to some obscure German jazz/rock fusion streaming somewhere, it sounded awesome, will I ever have the chance to listen to the whole thing? I doubt it (and I forgot the name of the band unfortunately). No, there aren't only US/UK bands, Sieges Even are German and Conception are from Norway, Ayreon and The Gathering are from Holland, Rush and Devin Townsend are Canadian but then again, I doubt you know all the albums I listed. |

I heard all of them, in fact at the time when they were released, but I prefer Smak's Egregor the album released at the end of decade. |

^ has to be said that it is their most 'prog' album although I have a lot of reservations about how good it is it myself Some tracks are certainly great but overall it just seems very messy and incoherent to me.
