Tough poll for me. I love Djam Karet and Zombi the most. I love the Dregs on a different level for that fusion kick. Savatage is one of the very best metal bands ever.
Since I own more albums by them than the others, Djam Karet, because in spite of a steadily increasing listenership over the last 20-25 years, has never gotten the exposure they truly deserve. (Really a Djam Karet/Zombi tie.) ------------- https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ipg=50&_sop=1&_rdc=1&_ssn=musicosm" rel="nofollow - eBay |

Hmm... Djam Karet, Happy The Man, Tortoise and Isis are all great. I'll have to go for DK, in the end. ------------- -- Frank Swarbrick Belief is not Truth. |

Isis. Aaron Turner is a genius through and through, and without Isis the post-metal scene would not be where it is today.

Djam Karet or Tortoise due to the quantities of CD albums I have... could be Dixie Dregs on Morse merit. I've only ever heard one record and it was brilliant. Utopia's Ra is fine -so.... Djam Karet but a close call. |

I didn't even notice Utopia was in the poll. I'd still pick Djam Karet, but the first two Utopia albums are prog rock classics in my book. I like Ra, too. I'd recommend those three. After that, YMMV. ------------- https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ipg=50&_sop=1&_rdc=1&_ssn=musicosm" rel="nofollow - eBay |

Exactly  Utopia also played at Steve Hillage L the album, which is one of the classics, & Todd was produced that great album.Steve Hillage & Utopia: Very underrated, though.

No Kansas, Enchant, Magellan? Astra or Presto Ballet? No Fates Warning? OSI? even Redemption is a great band. No king's X? Aslso the Jelly Jam side project is nice, too.

Hi,
The US is really tough for representation in a progressive board for today, compared to yesterday.
Nice to see my favorite Djam Karet so well represented. I hope I have a chance to see them before I die. I wanna read a poem to Dark Clouds No Rain! ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told! www.pedrosena.com |
