This list spans many years. Some are no longer favorites, but all were favorites at one time or another. Some are not considered prog by some, but are perhaps prog related.
Alan Holdsworth ... IOU/Metal Fatigue Yes ... The Yes Album/Fragile/90125 ELP ... Brain Salad Surgery/Tarkus Jethro Tull ... Thick As a Brick / Minstrel In the Gallery The Police ... Regatta de Blanc / Zenyatta Mondatta Genesis ... Selling England by the Pound / Foxtrot Gary Numan ... The Pleasure Principle / Replicas Rush ... A Farewell to Kings / Power Windows Pink Floyd ... The Wall / Wish You Were Here Barnabas ... Feel the Fire / Approaching Light Speed Edited by Jaketejas - July 09 2019 at 17:32 |

In no particular order... because that's just too difficult!!
1. Coma Ecliptic (BTBAM) 2. Leftoverture (Kansas) 3. Trilogy (ELP) 4. Temple of Shadows (Angra) 5. Prophet of the Last Eclipse (Luca Turilli) - I know this one isn't technically prog but the album's complexity of arrangements is on par with some of the best prog albums! 6. Act V (The Dear Hunter) 7. Aquarius (Haken) 8. Excerpts from a Future Past (Haellas) 9. Ghost Reveries (Opeth) 10. Carving Desert Canyons (Scale the Summit)

Hahaha, yes it's true that regions of the brain need at least temporarily be switched off for this kind of task to avoid agonising about whom not to list...

Mike Oldfield Ommadawn Gryphon Midnight Mushrumps Tangerine Dream Rubycon King Crimson Discipline Camel Pressure Points Rush Grace Under Pressure Pink Floyd Dark Side Of The Moon Peter Gabriel So The Beatles Sergeant Pepper Jethro Tull Songs From The Wood The first three are my all time faves, the others could be in any order. Maybe Sergeant Pepper should be given special mention, as I think it was the album that set the whole ball rolling, as they had to invent multitrack to finish it. |

Your list shows a lot of breadth in style! FWIW, I included Shpongle in my list, because there are some psychedelic ambient artists that I consider very proggy.

Mansun never get enough appreciation imo. That was a remarkable album for the 90's , they were the Gentle Giant of the indie scene. That is a truly intriguing list! |
