    Your dream artist Prog ship cruise!

    There's so many different prog sub genres these days! Which group of artists would you like to see on your own imaginary ideal prog ship cruise?

    Please stick to currently active artists. Thanks.

    If just the living prog and progressive artists allowed:

    Keith Emerson Band, and also Emo playing with Greg Lake and Carl Palmer again; Tony Pagliuca and Aldo Tagliapietra; Par Lindh; Stephen Caudel; Frank Robson; Steve Hillage; Steve Hackett (no Genesis songs included); Curved Air; Holderlin (sorry I didn't check out if the members are alive and active); Keith Jarrett; Goblin; Renaissance and Vangelis. These are the ones I'm recalling today.

    I can't see how this list would differ from simply making a list of my favourite current progressive musicians.

    It's similar but it also involves a ship.

    Yup, how about The Shaggs featuring him on constant fart kazoo? Performing a 47-hour piece called "The (Entire) Bible"? And don't worry, it's got Portnoy playing mofo mean triangle.

    Events like "Cruise to the Edge" and "Progressive Nation at Sea" are first and foremost Prog Festivals.
    The main difference to all other prog festivals (apart from the standard of the venue and associated costs) is the fact that once the bands/artists are on board, they have to stay for the duration of the festival (4 or 5 days).
    When you consider that each band will perform (just) 2 shows in that 4/5 day period (+ maybe a 3rd low key acoustic set or Q&A), the musicians must have quite a bit of time to meet and interact with each other. The beauty of this is that it lends itself to opportunities for bands to invite guests to join them for the odd number or two and it is this opportunity for collaborations/jamming that is the greatest benefit of the "at sea" festivals.
    An ideal line up then would include a list of bands with past connections such as the "Flower Kings" family suggested by miamiscot above.
    For example CTTE has got Neal Morse, Mike Portnoy and others aboard this year who you would expect to take advantage of a number of cameo opportunities. Who knows what could happen...
