I used to listen a lot to Marillion. I liked them a lot, both with Fish and Hogarth. Last time I bought an album was ten years ago or something.

Did a web search and found marillion.com. It seems the band is still very much alive and kicking, with the original members even! (well except for Fish then). I wonder how come you don't hear much about them these days.

I think Sylvian is falling off the edge of "self-indulgence" so far as his latest work. The man *so* needs a good producer to keep him in line.

Jansen/Barbieri/Karn are still together as a group. They've done some moderately interesting stuff, but unfortunately nothing that captures my attention for long.

Jansen is working on projects with Sylvian (including an upcoming remix of Sylvian's previous album).

Barbieri remains involved in Porcupine Tree, I believe.

Karn is still involved in a David Torn project here and there (Polytown, Andy Rinehart, Lonely Universe).

Japan is still tops in my book.

I'm with you there. Add:

The English Beat
Van der Graaf Generator
Jethro Tull (but only their first 4 albums)
Chrome
Heldon
Slap Happy

Of course, most of those never made it huge on radio.

I had an album ( I swapped all my vinyl for a motorcycle a few years back) with a band called Happy The Man, which I keep thinking about every now and then. Weird proggy stuff with very able musicians. Some very unforgettable songs, now that I remember them

Oh, damn, really forgot about them. I saw them live at two very historic concerts: the first was a pre-release concert done just before their first LP came out. It was at Carter Barron Amphitheater in Rock Creek Park, Washington DC. Gorgeous late spring/early summer night. The second was at the original Cellar Door in Georgetown and it was their last performance before their (I suppose first) break up, after their second LP release. Smaller space, very intimate. But both times they were FREAKIN' AWESOME! They were better live than on record, totally amazing performers.

But, the other one I somehow always forget and then come back to and discover they were the true embodiment of the prog rock scene were:

Camel

They seem to sum up that entire genre . . . and in a good way!

Hah! I saw that live at Merriweather Post Pavillion back in August 1986! I remember the month/year 'cos the gf I had before meeting my wife took me to it for my birthday.

With every song they added extra musicians until they had the whole friggin' stage filled. Amazing concert. Everyone stood up and danced the entire concert. Burning Spear opened the show and right after TH left the stage . . . BAM! They drop on David Behrman's "On the Other Ocean" and everyone was instantly chilled to the bone.

One of the best nights of my life.

Check them out at www.kashmir.dk (http://www.kashmir.dk) . You wont regret it they have a very addictive simple song writing style which exudes stacks of feel....LOVE IT....you know you want to.

Dug out some old ska tapes the other day (& that type of stuff). The Beat (stand down margaret etc.) & early UB40 stuff - really enjoyed listening to it, then I got on a serious reggea tip - wailing souls, jah shaka, human cargo, early burning spear etc.

Another vote for Love & Money. And Living Colour. And Style Council. And Joe Jackson. And let's not forget early Bruce Springsteen stuff (up to and including "The River"). Huh, could I cite The Police as well ?
Finally, I don't know if Prince would fit in the topic, but listing my favourite tracks would fill up this page.
