What is the highest ranked album 
from our TOP PROG ALBUMS list (on the home page) 
that you have NEVER EVER heard ANY songs from ?? 


What is the highest ranked album on that list 
that you have NEVER listened to in its ENTIRETY ??


Oh... and maybe we should stick to english-language and instrumental albums only 
because I assume many non-english-language albums get ignored just for that reason. 



Personally, 
I have never heard anything from #18 Camel Mirage 
and I have never listened to the entire #3 Thick As a Brick. 

I suppose I should disgracefully turn in my ProgFan card.

34. Opeth - Still Life on both counts.

Followed by Dream Theater & IQ though that second one will soon be remedied as it's on its way to me in my last order.

I checked my records, and I have heard A Louse is not a Home, so this would be the one that I have not heard in its entirety.  Next on the list that I have not heard anything from is #48 Miles Davis - In A Silent Way.

I skipped it when I was going through the list, since I didn't like any VdGG I listened (I still don't).
I love that Miles album, it's probably even better than Kind Of Blue, prog-wise.

This would be it, if there wasn't SW's latest album at spot 28
And his previous would be the next one spot 40
 
Basically it would come down to naming Wilson, Opeth and Theater (twice each) in the top 60 ... Though I will admit to having heard some of those three's music at one point or another

I've, surprisingly enough, listened to all of them at one point (I don't own them all but I have friends, Spotify and Jootoob)Shocked
I don't love them all though - far from it.

What!?!?!?!?LOLEmbarrassed So let me get this straight you're from Argentina and you have yet to hear the finest prog album your country ever produced? Oh boy - let me tell you, you're in for a real treat when you finally dip your toes in Bubu's AnabelasThumbs Up Hell it is possibly one of the finest prog albums out there full stop.

Heh!  I'm so damn old that I saw Tull perform TAAB in concert, 10 October, 1972!  Give it a serious listen! 

However, my knowledge of Camel is also lacking.  I'll give my ProgFan card to PresDoug for safe keeping!

VDGG - Godbluff, though I've been meaning to give it a listen. After that it would be any RPI or progressive metal albums; I haven't really listened to anything in those genres.
