If you like Marillion it's one of their best.

I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

I'm a bit surprised to see the amount of Phideaux votes! I think his music is possibly my favorite modern prog: it pays homage and wears his influence on it's sleeve, yet it manages to be challenging, innovative, and completely original!!

First thought that I'd pick Liege And Lief, absolutely fantastic folk gem with Sandy Denny on vocals, but then noticed a Canterbury classic Of Queues and Cure, which is a miraculous masterpiece.

Lots of albums I love in that list (and a few that aren't to my taste from what I know of them). I was going to go with Tago Mago, but then decided to give another vote to Sextant. Though Crossings is my particular favourite Hancock album because I find it so rich and rewarded repeated listenings more, Sextant, which I found automatically very accessible, is also incredible. Tago Mago I found harder to fully get into than Ege Bamyasi but loved it after it fully clicked.

Demons & Wizards! Epic album. Godbluff and Scheherazade & Other Stories are close.

And then one day you find
Ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run

The Egg album is my fave from the list.

Honourable mention to all the Henry Cow, Can, Herbie Hancock, National Health, VDGG and Koenjihyakkei albums. They're all great too.

Phideaux Number seven! Brilliant choice, the way, voices, lyrics, instruments, atmoshere, etc. gels togeher, just pure magic. Beardfish, also a wise choice. You could have skipped the King Crimson and Porcupine Tree outputs, but if you like them, enjoy!
