Alright..... Not my strongest area, and I'm including some prog rock material in here also as the line gets a bit blurry on what counts and what doesn't.....

1 - Neal Morse "Testimony"
2 - Arena "The Visitor" (although "Immortal" is RIGHT THERE also)
3 - Rush "Hemispheres"
4 - Tiles "Fence the Clear" (local to Detroit, so I'm biased!)
5 - Marillion "Afraid of Sunlight" (could easily put "Seasons End" or "Fugazi" here, depending on my mood)
6 - Fish "Vigil in a Wilderness of Mirrors"
7 - Pink Floyd "Momentary Lapse of Reason"
8 - IQ "Road of Bones"
9 - IO Earth "New World"
10 - Morphelia "Waken the NIghtmare"
11 - Pendragon "The World"
12 - Cairo s/t
13 - Enchant "Blueprint of the World"
14 - Discipline "Push & Profit" (another local Detroit one)
15 - Spock's Beard "Snow"

I'm taking the lazy man's route (again) and just listing some of my favs here ....... no order except for alphabetical. I've gotten rid of at least half of my Neo collection and kept only the ones that I go back to frequently or that they blew me away way back when and I don't have the heart to get rid of them .....

Here we go -

AIRBAG / The Greatest Show on Earth
ARAGON / Don't Bring the Rain
ARENA / The Visitor (ask me tomorrow and it will be Immortal)
CLIVE NOLAN / Jabberwocky
EVERON / North
EVERSHIP / stI
IO EARTH / New World
IQ / Subterranea
KAYAK / Merlin, Bard of the Unseen
MYSTERY / Delusion Rain
NEAL MORSE / The Similitude of a Dream (yeah I know it's prog rock)
PALLAS / The Cross & The Crucible
PENDRAGON / Pure
SHADOWLAND / Through the Looking Glass
SYLVAN / Posthumous Silence
