1. Yes Tales From Topographic Oceans

Not really in order (except perhaps for the first 2), and not necessarily 10... I'll just list the ones I think more special, even if I'll surely be missing some albums I really love too:
- Wish you were Here by Pink Floyd.
- Animals by Pink Floyd.
- Fragile by Yes.
- Close to the Edge by Yes.
- The Myths and Legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, by Rick Wakeman.
- Ommadawn by Mike Oldfield.
- And I guess Hybrys by Anglagard should make the cut too. Perhaps The Whilrwind by Transatlantic too... and after that, well, there's many I do love but wouldn't know how to rank them...

Never as easy at it seems.
Not in any order
ELP Brain Salad Surgery
Yes Close To The Edge
Rush Hemispheres
Kansas Song For America
ELP Tarkus
Rush A Farewell To Kings
Yes The Yes Album
Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here
Pink Floyd DSOTM
Jerhro Tull Thick As A Brick

I probably should have used the other name for the album (thought about it at the time, but went with the name of my copy). It's a great album. I like all of the Egisto Macchi albums that I have -- Voix is another personal favourite of mine of his, but then I'm a sucker for choral-type music like this:



As for my earlier list, I was kind of amazed several minutes after posting it, what with my love of Art Zoyd, that I didn't think of Génération sans futur. Those were the first ten albums that came to my mind. Had I done it half an hour later, the choices might have been quite different. I think right now my Morricone choice would be Maddalena (one of his that I return to the most). Docteur Faust is one of those albums that I am quite sure would have come to mind an hour, two hours, and a week later. Rock Bottom is one that I would have expected to come to mind immediately, but I was true to the first ten to come to mind.

Its the same album reissued with a different title

I have his album I Futuribili which I think is brilliant - is this the the same thing, or something different?
