@Naveek Darkroom I seem to recall you mentioning Transatlantic some time ago; did you discover Roine Stolt and The Flower Kings through that or more organically, simply through prog-dom?
Gotcha.Probably. I'd check out Transatlantic but I can't really find their stuff on streaming. So I might as well check out the parent bands. I already knew of Dream Theater. I'd check oit Spock's Beard more but I can't find the albums with Neal Morse unless I wanted a physical copy or if I resorted to less legal means. Not sure what Marillion is like.
Gotcha.
Marillion is neo-prog. When they're at their best, they walk the line between pop rock and prog rock not entirely unlike Rush.
Seasons End is my top pick from them, but I also thoroughly enjoy Misplaced Childhood.
There's much more of a rock element in Marillion, where even the earliest of the '80s Genesis, like Duke and Abacab, skewed much more pop. I'd say the prog elements in the two are comparable, though.Would it also be fair to compare Marillion to eighties Genesis? I only know a couple of Rush albums.
Okay. I mentioned Genesis because even after supposedly going full pop they still continued to do the occasional longer album track.There's much more of a rock element in Marillion, where even the earliest of the '80s Genesis, like Duke and Abacab, skewed much more pop.

On a Pinkpop binge tonight...
