I went with Marbles, Grave New World, Brave and Script for a Jester's Tear(in that order). Marbles is fantastic, especially the 2 disc version which gets you Ocean Cloud! Well worth the price for just that song. Grave New World is a great prog-folk album; one of my favourite all-time albums. The other 2 discs are both eras of Marillion at their best!
A GREAT YEAR FOR PROG!!!

If you already knows Beardfish you just have to get Mammoth ! If you don't know them, it's a great album to start with them, it got the Beardfish style with some different things that the other albums don't have. Bruford's One of a Kind is an amazing fusion album with Allan Holdsworth so you know what to expect: lots of mind blowing drumming and jazz guitar. I also voted for Porcupine Tree DVD. I'm not a big fan of them but the DVD is of an amazing quality and is very pleasant to watch and ear.

I've noticed that you and I have very similar tastes, so those are definately going to go into the 'whittled down' list.

Well I wouldn't say that Hosianna Mantra is exactly a good representative of Krautrock, but I'll agree that it'll knock your socks off. Wink

I voted for both the Caravan albums. Highly recommended.

I also put up a vote for the new Beardfish.

Get Decals as that is hard to find. If you can't get Caravan's Girls album.

Grave New world is an album everyone should have, and if you like Neo-Prog Marbles is pretty dang good.

I've allowed multiple votes, so users can vote for more than one title. I'm not as interested in the votes, as I am the comments. Part 2 to come soon. Thanks for the help!
