Listen to Frances, i think it'll fit your tastes a lot more. Then either go to Deloused or Amputechture.

What a long list! I have all of the 'classic' bands on there, with Jethro Tull being possibly my favorite band, and with the exception of the Beatles ... I simply never got into them. I haven't heard "Francis the Mute" ... the only Mars Volta I have is "The Bedlam in Goliath", and I wasn't paticularly inpressed. |

I voted for Popol Vuh's Hosianna Mantra, which would be followed by Stormcock. I also love Space Shanty.
I should get the Roland Kirk album. EDIT: I somehow failed to mention Little Red Record -- I love that album. Edited by Logan - December 06 2011 at 19:30 |

The TANGERINE DREAM boxset is probably expensive enough, so I have checked only it. Have a nice relaxing Xmas with those electronic drones.

One Of A Kind, Script For A Jester's Tear and For Girls Who Grow Plump In The Night show the respective bands at their peak.

Marillion's Brave. One of the best concept albums ever.

Grave New World is the only album on that list which deserves 5* and is utterly essential to any collection.
But it has to be listened to all the way through from the start to get the best out of it.

if you want some high class jazz fusion then without hesitation One of a Kind - Bill Bruford, is one of my fav albums ever with top notch musicians, second option from here Dixie Dregs - What if.

Brave, For Girls Who Grow Plump in the Night, Space Shanty and Stormcock are all worth checking out. Brave is the best Hogarth-era Marillion album as far as I know them, the other three are classics.

I would go for the greatest cheese powered concept album ever made by an Australian led French / English band as well as the elevated gilled water dweller made by a later member of aformentioned group.

Voted for Hosianna Mantra, Camembert Electrique, Nadir's Big Chance, Floating, and Stormcock. All absolute classics.

I don't seem able to vote, but would recommend Eloy as a cleanly produced collection of dynamic, tight and catchy riffs, and Tangerine Dream seeing as you can get 5 albums plus extras for the price of a single album, and you should be able to find at least 2 albums worth of good material on there

Nadir's Big Chance! One Of Peter's best solo albums along with Silent Corner and In Camera. In Camera is a personal favourite.

I'd vote for the whole Marillion package (the three albums), and the PT DVD. Especially the DVD though, which is more Christmas-y object :3

Space Shanty by Kahn - I really like the interplay between Hillage's guitar and Stewar's keys. The whole album has a fresh, dynamic sound, energetic and well performed. The songs themselves are all good. I wish they stuck together for at least another album, but who knows whether it would be as good?
Fish Rising by Steve Hillage - If you are familiar with You by Gong, this album has a similar quality (without the Daevid Allen madness of course) but takes it to the next level of spaciness. Lots of instrumental jams, featuring awesome guitar, naturally. Floating by Eloy - Another dose of extensive spacey hard jams. Lots of great riffs. I also like Strawbs and Caravan a lot u but don't have the albums listed here, so did not give them votes.
