^Colour me envious!
Then again..I was two years old in 84

Funny how tastes differ but once you get your head around other members’ style, it can actually be quite helpful. I know quite a few reviewers/members here who have almost the complete opposite tastes compared to mine…but it’s something that I can count on it. If they feel something is poor (say 1 or 2 stars), well there is a good chance I’m going to love it. Also works the other way around

^ Each to their own I suppose.  Tim Smith (RIP) was a genius to many and their music is unique.  First stumbled across them at Stonehenge in 84 around 2 am.  It was wonderful!

I've tried to give the Cardiacs bizarre debut a fair chance, but my heart wasn't really in it. The album sounds like a bunch of circus clowns performing at some manic carnival. The punkish "singer" sounds terrible and the tuneless music has been described as "Pronk" (Progressive Punk). This is crazy waltzer music which is likely to give you a headache. Stop the ride, I want to get off. Dead Thumbs Down

^ I'd love to have seen Ayreon in the poll too, but sadly, they didn't pick up enough points to make it into the final list. Cry

That could reopen an old can of worms that's been much-discussed before. Wink

according to the OP, yes LOL
Many have asked the same question. LOL
I've since divided prog into three main eras in my recent series of Top 12 lists. Smile

Classic Prog Era:-  1967-1979
Neo Prog Era:-      1980-1999
Modern Prog Era:- 2000-2022

Neo-prog is not an era but a sound, a style/genre of prog. You should know that by now. 

Classic era and modern era in your classification at least make sense.

It's time to climb aboard the Big Big Train as we say a sad Goodbye to the Age of Steam and give a warm welcome to the future of rail travel. The English Boy Wonders on board the Big Big Train are due to make their first stop at Stratford-on-Avon - birthplace of the Bard. The train will be Gathering Speed as it leaves the station with a stop along the way for repairs at The Underfall Yard, where the locomotive will be fully upgraded to English Electric standard and be ready to proceed at Full Power ahead. Smile

I'd just like to express how much I like Big Big Train's debut and I'm not going off the rails when I say I prefer it to David Bowie's Station to Station album. Wacko

Okay, so Hybris isn't as wild and extreme as Pawn Hearts, which is a good thing in my view. Wink

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

Following on from Anekdoten yesterday, Anglagard are another bass-heavy Neo Prog band from Sweden and you can expect to hear a whole smorgasbord of influences, ranging from King Crimson & Genesis to the wilder extremes of Van der Graaf Generator. It's not hubris to say that Hybris is one of the best Swedish albums I've ever heard, apart from ABBA's Arrival album, obviously. Wink
