MeatSalad 10.14.12	Crazy good list man, gotta check these out
OmairSh 10.14.12	Dude is there anything you haven't heard? MASSIVE list, nicee. You should check out the dixie dregs, pretty cool jazz fusion/rock stuff. And Riverside, prog rock from Poland, the bands climbing up the prog ladder at a good pace. Otherwise I don't think I can give recs :P.
OmairSh 10.14.12	Pavlovs Dog vocalists highs are ridiculous!
menawati 10.14.12	dixies are cool ye nearly put them in, riverside hmm ye forgot them will add em in and replace some shit with no cover
menawati 10.14.12	and omair ofc recs always welcome still loads of shit i havent heard mainly made the list cos loads of people asking for prog recs can just link this and shit i forgot 666-Aphrodite Child
SgtPepper 10.14.12	Excellent list, man. Very good stuff here. Yeah 666 should be here, definitely a classic.
Chortles 10.14.12	holy crap dude
MeatSalad 10.14.12	Bumping this sick nasty list
KILL 10.14.12	damn dude this rules {´◕ ◡ ◕｀}
Emim 10.14.12	Awesome list, def check out Panzerballett. They're jazz metal

ShadowRemains 10.14.12	excellent list
LongJomSilver 10.14.12	I will feature tomorrow.
greg84 10.14.12	63 is one of the best records of the year. I'd pick out Octopus for 94 and their debut for 54. Great list!
Trebor. 10.14.12	yes
baldymort 10.14.12	Really digging 81 atm. It is a massive Genesis clone, but that's definitely not a bad thing.
TheHamburgerman 10.14.12	Nice list, but I have to add Planet X to that list. Awesome instrumental prog metal/fusion band formed by Derek Sherinian.
Chortles 10.14.12	and damn you don't like gentle giant too much? 94 is seriously a masterpiece, such a great band
MeatSalad 10.14.12	Gentle giant is sweet
JohnnyoftheWell 10.14.12	Awesome list as usual Silent Enigma from 22 is sweet as well
Sniff 10.14.12	You worked hard?
Keyblade 10.14.12	mena have you heard Mindflowers?
Sniff 10.14.12	Will check out sum shit from here. Thxz
JohnnyoftheWell 10.14.12	Also, list could use some Frost* and Oceansize
JamieTwort 10.14.12	Awesome list bro. A few others I would have included: Cressida - Asylum (symphonic prog) Gracious - This is... Gracious!! (symphonic prog) Steve Hillage - Fish Rising (canterbury scene/psychedelic prog) Locanda Delle Fate - Forse le Lucciole non si Amano piu (RPI) Colosseum II - Electric Savage (jazz fusion) Brand X - Unorthodox Behaviour (jazz fusion)
JamieTwort 10.14.12	"has poncey image but did some good melodic prog, also did lots of crap but this and To Our Children's Children's Children are good" On the Threshold of a Dream is really good too.
JamieTwort 10.14.12	Also major props for 44. In Held Twas In I is epic.
TheNotrap 10.14.12	Some good stuff here. Congrats for the feature. About IQ: "...big discog, first few were the best" I disagree, Dark Matter or Subterranea are better than The Wake (still great though).
menawati 10.14.12	thx for all suggestions, did miss a few classics, will update. Ok Notrap will add that comment u prolly right i only gave those 2 quick listens.
JamieTwort 10.14.12	Surprised Jethro hasn't shown up yet.
OmairSh 10.14.12	Menawati and kill are featured :D
menawati 10.14.12	kills list inspired me to go for a double header
Jethro42 10.14.12	''Surprised Jethro hasn't shown up yet.'' Talking about the wolf =] List contains sooo much win!!! Mine would also have Jean-Luc Ponty Bill Bruford U.K. Happy the Man Peter Banks Saga Il Volo Maneige Morse Code Alphataurus Ange Yezda Urfa Rick Wakeman Horslips Traffic Barclay James Harvest Kayak Curved Air Alan Parsons Project Area Sinkadus Echolyn Dogma Novalis Sebastian Hardie Karmakanik Neal Morse Univers Zero A.C.T. Anekdoten Landberk Finisterre The Tangent Supersister After Crying Gazpacho Arena Bubu National Health Mostly Autumn
greg84 10.14.12	and Cog
Jethro42 10.14.12	and Cog
BraydenCole 10.14.12	soft machine-volume 2
greg84 10.14.12	and Indukti
Jruined 10.14.12	Weather Report Thinking Plague Henry Cow Captain Beyond Between what Jethro listed and your list that's all I can think of. Awesome.
Jethro42 10.14.12	Sorry, I haven't seen Alan Parsons Project and Barclay James Harvest. List is phenomenal and bookmarked. Congrats on the feature.
Dimor 10.15.12	Great great list. Alot of essential stuff on here.
menawati 10.15.12	wasnt sure about putting Cog in its sorta metally but i put UK in as they were a supergroup and also Gazpacho i put in too
YankeeDudel 10.15.12	too much foreign stuff man speak english or die nah list is good i like it mucho
ThunderNeutral21 10.15.12	incredible list
JamieTwort 10.15.12	Damn, I love Hostsonaten. Summereve is prob my favourite by them.
menawati 10.15.12	ye hostsonaten isnt essential but was trying to favour stuff with large discogs when i started running out of ideas
PistolPete 10.17.12	could not disagree more with 32, their latest stuff (with the exception of "the incident" is way better)
KILL 10.17.12	nah ur gay
MeatSalad 10.17.12	Old porc is best porc
AStableReference 10.17.12	Wait, I've never seen Genesis called "neo prog".
MUNGOLOID 10.17.12	An Endless Sporadic
menawati 10.17.12	i spose its symphonic but neo name came after didnt it and it sort of sums up all the theatrical stuff so i thought if there were any neo fans that like marillion an all that shit it would make sense to them
AStableReference 10.17.12	I'd love to highlight some specific albums but there are so many it would be a frickin' chore.
menawati 10.17.12	list wouldnt be complete without a swipe from riff
WeepingBanana 10.17.12	there is just no pleasing Riff how does Return To Forever compare to Chick Corea's solo stuff?
menawati 10.17.12	u mean elektric band ?
KILL 10.17.12	return to forever are essential
AStableReference 10.17.12	I think David Sylvian is too often overlooked.
AStableReference 10.17.12	Nobody.
menawati 10.17.12	@weeping ive only heard eye of beholder and it was sort of 80's feel i didnt like it that much
AStableReference 10.17.12	A couple of these things aren't usually put under the "prog" tag, like Talk Talk, Miles Davis or Sylvian but I guess the tag can be stretched to include many different movements. I typically think of it being a different approach though.
Friday13th 10.17.12	Covered all the bands I could think of, which was like 15 lol
WeepingBanana 10.17.12	oh dude check out Now He Sings, Now He Sobs
Ire 10.17.12	uk is awesome agreed jethro
Chortles 10.17.12	the the vote count on the great misdirect
Chortles 10.17.12	that's sputnik's twin website, where people are cool
ti0n 10.17.12	god list
BigPleb 10.17.12	List rules pretty damn hard, got a few listens on the way it seems
undertakerpt 10.17.12	Right then, I have a new mission in live: 1. Dig holes like a boss 2. Save up a shitload of cash 3. Buy all these albums 4. Lock myself in a room learning every single note 5. Leave the room to brag about how much of a legend I am. 6. Have a heart attack from lack of exercise.
AnthonyFartano 10.17.12	no opeth?
menawati 10.17.12	is no prog metal on here anthony as KILL had done a list of all that around the same time i made this
Kalli 10.17.12	sexy list!!!
MikeC26 10.18.12	Steve wilson is a cock, as is akerdick
scissorlocked 10.18.12	talk talk- crossover prog, really liked this but it's nowhere near to prog except you have a broader definition o the term list is great btw
menawati 10.18.12	ye scissor i spose it is pushing it a bit, it is experimentally and is just sorta prog related but its just a good album i snuck it in there
linguist2011 10.18.12	Oh Yes menawati this list is ideal for me:D
Chortles 10.18.12	still need to listen to talk talk, i hear so much good about them
menawati 10.18.12	avoid their early stuff tho unless u like electronic new wave type stuff
Chortles 10.18.12	yea i was just gonna get spirit of eden and laughing stock honestly
menawati 10.18.12	color of spring is pretty nice too, more poppy but still fine
Feels 10.19.12	Relatively unknown and overlooked in these parts but super amazing nonetheless: Kingston Wall - Kingston Wall II
menawati 10.19.12	damn, nice shout Feels
Donchivo 10.25.12	High Tide - sea shanties (psychedelic proto prog, being credited as the first band to introduce polyphone structures to rock music...)
menawati 10.25.12	added to list, good call
Donchivo 10.25.12	maybe John Zorn - Naked City and some weird japanese stuff: Acid Mothers Temple - Neo Geocentric world of AMT Ruins - Mandala 2000 And this list presents quite a task trying out all the stuff that sounds promising... thanks for that!
JamieTwort 10.25.12	That High Tide album is great. Saw it on vinyl not so long ago, didn't buy it though, it was ridiculously expensive.
Donchivo 10.25.12	Have you tried out the self titled? it's even better imo, but i guess sea shanties is the more influential one....
JamieTwort 10.25.12	No I haven't, need to check that one.
eleventhsun 11.19.12	Crazy list. Can't wait to check some of these out!!
MeatSalad 11.19.12	Love this list
Antonius 11.19.12	Bookmarked already bro. Excellent and respectful job done. Consider listening to: - Blackfeather - At the mountain of Madness - Captain Beyond - Captain Beyond - Spring - Spring - Rare Bird - As your Mind Flies by
OmairSh 11.19.12	Yes Captain Beyond
OmairSh 11.19.12	KC had to be at the top
menawati 11.19.12	realised I missed a few that should have been here - added Gazpacho, Nektar, Spirit and Dead Meadow
mandan 03.11.13	Awesome list.
