You didn't read my preceding post did you? My "this journalistic negative slant" was referring to the general negativity against "prog rock" by, what, in my previous post, I called, "lazy journalists, who didn't want interesting music, they wanted music they could pigeon hole into "genres", invented a new term, the shortened (more derisory) term "prog rock"", and whose negativity has turned many music lovers against the "genre", who possibly haven't even heard much, or any, of it!The article does not have a negative slant.

The best english prog bands!
One of my favourite non-english 'prog' bands is Lazuli, I have all their CDs! HOME - LAZULIThe best english prog bands!
7 on the list aren't English!The best english prog bands!
But they’re all from english-speaking countries.7 on the list aren't English!
I love Lazuli too! They’re not well known in France unfortunately. They are so little known in fact that there is a french singer that call herself Lazuli too! (I discovered her when the YouTube channel for live music of a French TV station (ARTE) featured Lazuli: I thought at last recognition for one of our best rock band, just to be utterly disappointed)One of my favourite non-english 'prog' bands is Lazuli, I have all their CDs!

I hadn't heard of them! I'll give them a listen. I have seen Magma though, back in the mid-70sI love Lazuli too! They’re not well known in France unfortunately.

If you don’t know them already, check out Ange. The best seventies french prog band that is not Magma!
They supported Fish when I went to see him on 12th Dec 2017 at The Tramshed Cardiff, I remember them describing their journey over in their minibus in snowstorms and not thinking they'd make it in time. I liked them well enough but haven't bought any of their recordings, too much French language put me off I'm afraid.I hadn't heard of them! I'll give them a listen.

Odd that they named so many members of Yes, but left off Rick Wakeman, who is in the photo.
Good list. They seemed to pick prog bands that were commercially successful instead of going for more obscure bands. IMO that's what makes it a good list, it doesn't try to turn you onto bands you've never heard to prove how "progressive" the list is.
