Anvil always struck me as boring. My favorite Anvil song is "Forged In Fire" from the album of that name released in 1983. Great production (You know when they had the money...) I play this song often and the sound is amazing. My favorite album as a whole is the one in my list ("Strength Of Steel" ...

I never got into Triumph - where should I start? Of course I would say the album "Thunder Seven" (1984). To me this is Triumph at the top. I call that "intelligent" hard rock. This is close to neo-prog. The 2 albums following ("The Sport Of Kings" (1986) and "Surveillance" (1987)) are very good but...

1. Black Sabbath "Black Sabbath"
2. Veni Domine "Fall Babylon Fall"
3. Dreadful Thoughts "Demise Of The Blind"

I don't know the style very well but I'll try something... I may improve my skills in the future... 1. Judas Priest - Stained Class (If this is NWOBHM) maybe this is the old wave :-) 2. Iron Maiden - Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son (May also fit in classic heavy metal, prog metal) 3. Def Leppard - High...

GaetanL

CLASSICS (Heavy Rock / Heavy Metal) 1. Judas Priest "Stained Class" 2. Ozzy Osbourne "Blizzard Of Ozz" 3. Metallica "...And Justice For All" 4. Scorpions "Blackout" 5. Stryper "To Hell With The Devil" 6. Iron Maiden "Powerslave" ("Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son" would be on a prog metal favorite list)...

another plea to Symphony X - where the hell is your bluray (or DVD at this point) ???? There is one DVD! The Gigantour DVD released in 2006. OK, you get only 2 songs from Symphony X but it's better than nothing. Also 2 songs from Dream Theater! This would make at least 4 songs you would like! I had...

I'm a fan of Southern Cross but not Hillward (I did check out)...

Fans of Porcupine Tree may like Hillward... I'm not a fan of Porcupine Tree...

So I streamed Fanfare & Fantasy, and I thought it was a little too on the light side, even for me ........ Larry, I don't get it when you say that. There are plenty of dynamic passages in that album. There is also a light side. This is a mix of both. For example in the song "The Cause": https://www...

THIS WINTER MACHINE / Kites - https://www.lasercd.com/cd/kites One of those Neo-Prog bands that somehow slipped by me over the years. ***Gaetan take note. If you haven't heard this band, check them out. After 2 listens, I'd have to say that this a modern Neo-Prog project on the softer side, but wit...

Syrek - "Story" (releases 2021-12-21) I have added a review on my website... More technical than Liquid Tension Experiment and still with a great sens of melody!

Welcome back and I hope you and yours are doing well and sorry for who is probably your father in your nickname. A big thank you for your list long time ago. It has been a huge influence on me when I started my website in 1999. In 2012 I stopped updating my website. It was a natural ending I thought...

GaetanL

Apparently - the ones to get from what I'm reading is this one, and Spirit .......... those are the two that people list as their best. Luckily, these are streaming while I hunt down Fanfare ....... To this point this is very personal I guess. But I would choose the album "Disobey" over "Spirit". "...

Just the kind of Neo-Prog that I'm looking for ............surprised that I haven't heard of this band, but I'm hunting it down ...............thanks Gaetan !!!!!

You are welcome Larry! This is also the kind of Neo-Prog I'm looking for... A classic neo-prog sound I would say...

GaetanL

In all the discussions we had about neo-prog, the band Comedy Of Errors has never been mentioned.

My favorite album from them is "Fanfare & Fantasy" (2013)

Truly excellent!

The Hard Rock section includes also bands that reach the metal or the soft rock zone. Metallica and Iron Maiden are in the Progressive Metal section because of some albums. Maybe they would fit better now in the Hard Rock section. The Hard Rock section did not exist when I added these 2 bands. Bands...

Asgard - Arkana (1992) https://www.metal-archives.com/images/8/5/3/0/853047.jpg?1224 I love it! This is actually the only album I love from this band. They fit well in the forgotten heroes of neo-prog category. They released a new album in 2020 but it's no longer neo-prog. The song "Wulfstan": https...

I love this hard rock / metal band! I'm just 35 years late... They have a new album called 3 (The only one I have not heard). Unfortunately there seem to be a dispute about the ownership of the band and there seem to be 2 Rough Cutt bands at this time. So another album is coming? I'm not sure I unde...

I heard all their albums. "Arkana" released in 1992 is a really good neo-prog album! So far I seem to not care much for all the other albums... In 2020, they released a new album after 20 years. They turned metal... Folkloric Progressive Power Metal if we could say...

9 SKIES / 5.20 - Neo-Prog that is even too light for me. Even Steve Hackett and Damian Wilson can't save this one ..... as Gaetan said, their previous one is much better..... Just to clarify, the much better album me and Larry are talking about is "Return Home", their first studio album. They have ...

today I buy vinyls for 2 reasons, and neither of them are what you guys are saying: 1) I buy them from a pure collectors p.o.v. - as a fan of certain bands, I buy every single version available to me 2) I buy them from an aesthetic p.o.v. - I love having album art on my wall that represent my taste...

In this video Sebastien Bach from Skid Row talks about a reedition on vinyl of the album "Slave To The Grind". I don't have any vinyl but I found the video very interesting. The idea of a vinyl is to have an analog sound. You cannot download the analog sound of a vinyl. But what's the point to have ...

I love both in Black Sabbath. I also love Tony Martin.

I rather mean Ozzy's solo albums. Many have a special place in my heart. Hence Ozzy forever!!!

Not sure if anyone has any bands to add to this list. But I use to LOVE King Diamond and Mercyful Fate, but now I just can't stand King's vocals...I think he has amazing talent by the way, but his falsetto just grates on my nerves and I can't deal with it anymore. It just annoys me LOL...I use to b...

I was listening to a couple of old Ratt albums awhile back, and while their hits are all still great, the rest of their material is completely forgettable to me. The greatest hits album is almost all I think I need from them. To me the album "Out Of The Cellar" is excellent from start to finish! Be...
