Hi. There are 4 great bands from Czech Republic. Each of them have masterpiece albums. Perhaps they are Underrated bands (even Progres 2) . I really like to know your opinions and choices. 
Thanks

I don't know any of those bands. The only band I know from that country is Modrý Efekt and they are really great Thumbs Up

Hi. I recommend you to listen to them and if you like Eclectic prog I'm sure you like them. I write their best albums (IMO) for you : 

Psi Vojaci : Leitmotiv (1991)
Progres 2 : Dialog s vesmirem (1980)
Jazz Q : Symbiosis (1973) IMO this album is Eclectic Prog but their genre in PA is Jazz Rock/Fusion
Synkopy : Slunecní Hodiny (1981)

I think you can start with these albums (if you like to listen) . Thumbs Up

I only know Progres 2 and their Dialog s vesmírem album. Very good. Been a while since I last played it, perhaps I'll dig it out for a spin later tonight. No vote though, since I don't know the others.

Thanks Bard. I'm very happy to see you here. As you said Dialog s Vesmirem (difficult name for me) is very good album (IMO is a masterpiece). If you like it, You will like other bands in this poll.

Yeah, I think Dialog is very good, though it's not a masterpiece for me. Somewhere between 3 and 4 stars is where I'd rate it. A bit too much straightforward rock there for my taste, but with a captivating concept no doubt (gotta admit, don't understand a thing of what they're singing LOL). Will check out the other bands there, sometime. So yeah, same here, thanks for the recs. Thumbs Up

And thanks for the reminder about Modrý Efekt, Sam. I've been aware of them for some time, but haven't really checked them out, although I do remember hearing one of their albums once, might have been Svitanie, might have been the one with Radim Hladik, might have been both. LOL I remember liking what I heard though, so I'll try to remember to check them out more thoroughly sometime.

Hi. I list Czech bands that I know ,I listened and I like them. 100% There are more good Czech bands and Artists. I don't mean ALL of Czech bands. Perhaps I "must" change topic title to 4 of great ... but I don't think this is a BIG MISTAKE . If you (You and other guys) want to change this topic title , please tell me to do it. Thanks.

From the list probably JAZZ Q but I have to mention PLASTIC PEOPLE OF THE UNIVERSE, BOHEMIA, ENERGIT, IMPULS and the already mentioned BLUE EFFECT. Lots of great bands out of that nation especially Jazz/ Fusion bands.

Jazz Q and Plastic People of the Universe the only ones I listened to properly. Both are pretty good.
I shook my head and smiled a whisper knowing all about the place

From the list Synkopy, one of their albums and I think their best Křídlení from 1983 is absolut excellent. Progress 2 is another winning band and Blue Effect I think is the most well known across the borders.
