Wanted to share this list of 'best' modern prog bands (last 25 years)....subjective as always.
Chosen by Gould and Edwards.

I do think Wobbler should be on the list.

Interesting video on the first side long 'prog epics'.

Interesting video on the first side long 'prog epics'.

My first guess in "Trivia Mode" would have been Iron Butterfly's In-a-gadda-davida. (Full side) Seems the winner was quite a bit earlier.

Couldn't find an official prog rock thread so this is probably it.
Anyway I had this link on my computer and while no means complete...
it is an interesting list of oddball obscure and known vintage prog bands

One of my favorite obscure symph prog tracks .... a bit like Moody Blues meets Genesis... loved these guys ....sadly they never caught on with the overall prog crowd.
'Alanderie' by Fantasy (1974)

*This thread started 2009, 17 years ago now,...has some great prog bands listed ...ck it out.

A Canadian band who crossed that line between art rock and prog rock with some fusion thrown in.
Never got as big as some prog bands but very good musicians....great guitar work on this one.
