Sorry to awaken (no pun intended) the beast that is the progressive rock thread.
I’m making the Christmas list and am looking for some new prog to get into. I’ve heard good things about Anathema - interested to hear what scouse prog sounds like.
My taste is pretty much old school: Genesis, Yes, Tull, Marillion with Fish, Rush and a bit of IQ (Paul Mennel albums). Has anyone got into any modern prog I can try

Not a newcomer but the latest album by Jon Anderson is highly recommended to anyone that likes Yes, if you don’t have it.Something by Steven Wilson or Dream Theater.

I’ve got a couple of Steven Wilson albums and quite a few Porcupine Tree too. Some of it I like but a lot of it I struggle to get into. Dream Theater always get labelled prog metal but the bits I’ve heard they can really play.Something by Steven Wilson or Dream Theater.

I will put that on the list. His Song of Seven track always reminds me of Christmas and I like that album. Olias of Sunhillow was hard to get into, I’m amazed at how good his voice is at his ageNot a new comer but the latest album by Jon Anderson is highly recommended to anyone that likes Yes, if you don’t have it.

If you're okay with DT & Porcupine Tree then I'd suggest checking out Riverside, a Polish band that are very much in the same vein.I’ve got a couple of Steven Wilson albums and quite a few Porcupine Tree too.

If you like Dream Theater you may want to check out Southern Empire.
Jon Anderson’s “True” is a very good listen.
If you like something in the mould of Styx then Moon Safari’s Himlabacken volume 2 is full of multi part vocal harmonies.
A lot of Genesis fans seem to like “ Big Big Train”.
Personally I like Magenta,Frost and It Bites.

Anathema is a good start but don't expect classic prog from them.Rush and Dream Theater is probably not what you are looking for.
For the classics: try some Gentle Giant, King Crimsonm, Can and Van der Graaf Generator if you don't know them yet. Some more modern approaches: Aristocrats, Seven Impale, Gordian Knot, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, Cougans Bluff and a ton of other bands if you need more names.
