Thanks for mentioning this one. Whenever I listen to it, I ALWAYS play Side 2 ("FIFO") last, because the "Watching the Aeroplanes" movement is so cataclysmic, even incandescent, that absolutely NOTHING can follow it! Play this one LOUD!

All of my favorites have been posted over and over already in this thread, but I'd add
The Kinks "Everybody's in show biz" and Humble Pies "Live at the Fillmore".

Some favourites for me... Studio albums: Yes - Tales From Topographic Oceans Focus - 3 Sky - 2 (just listened to it last weekend again; what a wonderful album) Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti Pink Floyd - The Wall Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Works I Genesis - The Lamb... Grobschnitt - Ballermann Amon Düül II - Tanz der Lemminge Godspeed You Black Emperor - Lift yr skinny fists... Kate Bush - Aerial The Who - Tommy Jesus Christ Superstar (and I've always preferred the film soundtrack over the original opera cast recording...) Mixed bag albums: Pink Floyd - Ummagumma Santana - Moonflower Soft Machine - 3rd Live Albums: Yes - Yessongs Yes - Symphonic Live Ange - Tome VI Kraftwerk - Minimum-Maximum Pink Floyd - The Delicate Sound of Thunder Pallas - Live Our Lives IQ - Forever Live Sky - Five Live and Grobschnitt's Solar Music has some wonderful double live releases under the title The History of Solar Music (in "Die Grobschnitt Story" series). ...

Double live albums, it would be in my top 3, but yes.... it's cheating!

Just A Quick One.... It's great to see The Who are included in ProgArchives, which I didn't realise until I saw your list. The Who made music for My Generation and they never played By Numbers or Sold Out either. It's Hard to choose a favourite, but I'll pick The Who from the four you mentioned. Rock on Tommy!

Scanning through all the old posts (many by former members!) struggled to find any one single mention of ELP's Works Volume One. Seems now to have been written off as some kind of aberration and the beginning of the end of a once great band. As a fan I don't think it can be entirely dismissed. Fanfare For The Common Man is some piece of music, the bass alone is ridiculous in a over the top pompous good way. Pirates is massively underrated , I just love band plus orchestral tracks. Drums are maybe mixed a little low but its not a deal breaker for me. The solo sides don't suck either. I would have maybe preferred just a couple of the Greg Lake songs and a few less tracks on Carl Palmer side, but Emerson's classical piece is a wonderful effort and shows his skill as a composer. Overall surely deserves a mention at least.

Renaissance - Live at Carnegie Hall, no question. But that's cheating I suppose.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |
