Of the list—National Health. Not on the list—Nektar.

National Health is my favourite out of these. Still an honourable mention must go out to Natural Snow Buildings which I've discovered only recently but who are a delight.

It does not feel right leaving out National Health from my top three. But going by what I've been actively listening to in the last couple of years, this is what's honest and correct. I used to think Nucleus was alright, good, but nothing special. Now I think they are quite special. The Necks are among my favorite discoveries in the last five years or so.

The Necks
Nucleus
Non Credo
-
National Health
NEU!
Nico
Needlepoint
Joanna Newsom
Janko Nilovic
Gary Numan

I really like Nektar to but I'm not going to bitch about it not being in a poll. It would only had made it more difficult to choose anyway:)

I was not familiar with New Goblin. Nude Gobblin' is, however, another matter.
Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.

^ Being vindictive about my response to your "M" reply? Please just make your own polls Pedro if you have nothing positive to say about any of my choices and just want to complain and not respect the opening post. I just request that you do 25 for each letter not covered by my polls for excessive awesomeness.

I like Nektar, but why should it be amongst my 25 favourites? Surely it gets plenty of recognition anyway.

I often do feel like you don't actually read what others write, consider it, or bother to care. I've defended you plenty in the collab zone, and taken flak for it, but somehow I doubt you would do the same for me.

^^ Yeah, I have not limited it to what I consider to be Prog. I think of Prog as as a spectrum that can be incredibly diverse

Some not in PA like Joanna Newsom, Janko Nilovic, Natural Snow Buildings, and music by The Necks I consider on the prog spectrum (or to have made Prog music). Gary Numan has made a kind of Kraftwerk related music. And Colin Newman I would not expect in PA, although I could relate it to music in PA.

Not all need to be Prog for Prog polls, but that should dominate. I find more interest in a rather more holistic approach, but still this is limited to my interests. All of this for me relates to Progressive Rock, and I don;t think there is dividing line between Prog and non-Prog and Prog Related and Non Prog-Related.



^ Not claiming that is Prog.

Hi,

Hahaha ... again ... 

NEUTRONS ... and they are listed under Eclectic Prog on PA .... 2 totally lovely albums, with "Black Hole Star" just having some far out vocals. "Tales From the Blue Cocoons" is better known for their song about the MAN band, and the various members they took and un-took! (No More Straight Scenes).

And no NEKTAR?

I'm gonna tell my mah about that!Wink

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Again these are 25 of my favourites, where I have enjoyed music from each, and I'm sure there are others I like that did not come to mind.   

I encourage people to vote for AND mention three of these, or more, or less if they like any. It's not a contest.

Again, I also encourage people to mention their favourites that are not in the poll. I would like people to feel comfortable voting with limited familiarity and mentioning others with no familiarity when it comes to my choices.

And if you know and don't think highly of any of the choices (it is fairly eclectic), feel free to mention those. I mean Neurosis and News From Babel, for instance, are pretty different.

So really happy to hear about others, but I do hope that people who can say something about the actual choices, or just mention them, decide to do so. And if you have what you think is a "better" list (not just better for your tastes), lay it on me bro, sis.... :) I like some spice in the mix, and despite the subjective nature of music appreciation, I would be happy to discuss the merits of our selective selections and to try to keep an open mind and open ears.

Oh, also, not all of these are in PA, but I'm not going to leave out, say Joanna Newsom or various others. And others I just want here.

Here are the past polls: 25 "M" List Acts & 25 "L" List Acts & 25 "K" List Acts & 25 "I and J" List Acts & 25 "H" List Acts & 29 "G" List Acts & 26 "F" List Acts & 25 "E" List Acts & 26 "D" List Acts & 25 "C" List Acts & 25 "B" List Acts & 25 "A" List Acts
