Baker St. Muse is one of Jethro Tull best songs.
Steve Hackett's music is better than Genesis.
King Crimson is the ultimate progressive band.

The Missing Piece by Gentle Giant is superb.

Mike Portnoy should not return to Dream Theater.

Allan Holdsworth's solo material is better than his work with other bands/artists.

Close to the Edge is not the best prog rock album.

Todd Rundgren is one of America's greatest composers.

The rest of them I can manage without and I wouldn't buy Pawn Hearts even if it was in a charity shop bargain bin. Embarrassed

I've had the same 'hot takes' for years now....Mike Oldfields music is boring and trite, and 
Peter Hammill cant carry a tune but then much of VDGG music is not that tuneful.

Takes that most people wouldn't agree with. 
Some of mine:

Tales is the Best Yes Album
Shine On > Echoes
Time and a Word > The Yes Album
A Momentary Lapse of Reason is a great record
Think of Me with Kindness is the best song Gentle Giant ever did
Mike Oldfield's Incantations is a 10/10 Record
'It' is a great album closer

Granted, most of these aren't super hot, but I'm sure many of you have some! (I'm looking at you Paul with your lack of VDGG love!)
