The Sahara album is sadly very overlooked. I like the albums of Khan, Universe Zero, Tangerine Dream and Captain Beyond a lot too. Ramses and Shub-Niggurath never really got me. I am not familiar with the other three.

My brain is pretty safe with these albums.

Totally forgot about how muscular that Khan album is. Sounds like a powered up version of Zappa’s Roxy band.

5 of those on that list I know nothing about,  of the others Khan and Captain Beyond are often on my turntable. Brain mellting...? Not so much.

By the way, Art Zoyd's Champ des Larmes is really really heavy, even more so than they usually are.

I love Zeit and Heresie. I don't quite get what Space Shanty is doing on that list, but then that particular album never got me anyway.

Khan - melts in your brain, not on your wrist, just like a Chocolate Watchband.  Wink

I love Space Shanty, but I have to give it to Les Morts Vont Vite - incredibly underrated album.
I use they/them pronouns (feel free to ask me about this!)

Check out my music on my bandcamp!

Captain Beyond piloting the Space Shanty, in that order.

So, this title is taken from an article posted at Louder, the exact name being:

10 brain-melting prog albums that are as heavy as any metal band


This obviously cannot fit the space left for the subject but you get the idea. I decided to put these in a poll and see what responses the fellow forum users will give, so please vote (I will allow multiple voting) and comment whether or not you agree that these albums are 'as heavy as any metal band'. Should you disagree, please feel free to give your personal suggestions for this category, I am curious to see. Smile

With all this being said, I have to admit I haven't listened to all of these but the ones I know I absolutely love and I can see why they are being included, so how do you find them?

Here's also the link to the article, in case you want to see for yourself:
