Going with the contrarian nature of this thread I would highlight their album Three Cheers For The Broken Hearted also. It's the best sort of 'pop' album you can ever listen to. I love it!

Luciano Cilio's Dialoghi del Presente is the best Italian album I know. And I do know the classics...

Glass Hammer's 2023 album Arise is a 5-star masterpiece!

I don't think this is a hot take in any way.

Nice, I disagree with all your takes...Some of mine: The Final Cut is a great record Selling England By The Pound is boring In The Court of The Crimson King is NOT the first prog album To be honets, I like Leapse, but it has the worst track ever recorded by Pink Floyd, worse than A Spanish Piece

Procol Harum's greatest record was 1977's "Something Magic"
Gentle Giant's "The Missing Piece" is one of their very best albums.... Genesis-Trespass is better than any Genesis record before or after it... |

This isn't a hot take imo. I've always thought 'The Remembering' was the best song off TFTO

For a start they are an obscure, under the radar forever type of project that are definitely worth a listen. I'd say the songs need more time in the oven with a little more TLC, but what's there is listenable with the tank empty cruising that extra 50 miles... if 114 minutes is long enough to go that far.

I'm not much in with modern parlance, but I believe a 'hot take' is an opinion on something which is unconventional or goes against the grain. I'm not sure how this link fits in to this context... are you saying that the music in the link isn't well thought of by most people, but you actually think it's really good? Please expand...

Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

Are you posting in the wrong thread or is it trolling or spamming?!

Boring Dystopia's: The Lost & Lonely Last Son of Nothing! Or their demo album: Lullabies & Other Whims of the Dying Kind. Excellent obscure, groovy and psychedelic business. Long song, too. Good for driving, LSD, or even housework! |

You're not alone in that opinion. In fact, I'll go one more step. I think it's better than those other two, just slightly.

Not quite prog, but I take Rubber Soul over Sergeant Pepper, The White Album and Abbey Road night and day.

While I don't think it's perfect, I, too, do not understand the general distaste for Systematic Chaos. It's one of their best albums for me, up there with Six Degrees..., Metropolis Pt. 2, Awake, and Images... and certainly better than Octavarium and Black Clouds... for me.
