^ It's been a while for me too that I listened to that album (the only one I know of them). I thought you might mention Savatage in your list...?

Well, with live albums and compilations I don't have too much trouble to get to ten... (trying to privilege studio albums though):

Twelfth Night - Collector's Item
Ozric Tentacles - Strangeitude
Banco del mutuo soccorso - Da qui messere si domina la valle (1991 re-recordings of Banco & Darwin)
Frank Zappa - The Best Band You Never Heard In Your Life
Cardiacs - Songs For Ships And Irons
Pascal Comelade - Ragazzin' the Blues
Talk Talk - Laughing Stock
Now - Spheres
Camel - Dust and Dreams
Pendragon - The World
Magellan - Hour of Restoration; hmm, maybe not really top ten...
Savatage - Streets, A Rock Opera then?
I hesitate to put Yes - Union in my top ten...

More of a factual thing really. The  music on Marillion's 1991-outing is prog-related or maybe even "prog" - but not very progressive music.

I only disagreed on what you said that we've all given up on making a prog list. Well, I haven't, all the albums in the lists I made are at least prog related. Making a list with whatever genre is easy.

Coming up with albums from whatever genre is easy. Sticking with prog & prog related is a welcome challenge, with prog lists I may find out about albums I do not know. Smile
