The TD and Can albums are all classics.

Eloy is one of the worst bands I know of, and from the little I've heard of Arena, Beyond Twillight, Pallas and Mostly Autumn (meaning all the streams in the band index) are not far behind. Either just boring or simply awful.

My quess I'm afraid, is that you haven't been that lucky. Seeing that you love Bitches Brew, I can't imagine you'll find neoprog & such interesting.

Don't believe in me
Don't believe in me

"Rubycon" by Tangerine Dream is my favorite, followed very closely by "Phaedra" and Peter Gabriel 3.

It's interesting... My favourite album out of those listed gets only one vote here so far - it's Explosions in the Sky, but my least likeable (if at all) albums by Can and Beyond Twilight get maximum of 6 votes each. Obviously my taste is quite different from all those who voted already.

Thanks for the responses, everyone. You all gave thoughtful answers, and there are now a lot of votes in the poll.
I'm off to my college now, but when I get back, I'm going to start listening to all this stuff, in an order based on the voting. Looks like PG3, Tago Mago, and Beyond Twilight are the first up, based on what I see right now.

Oh, and yeah I do realize a lot of this stuff will take a while to digest. I'll bring an open mind to it, and listen to each album a bunch of times before forming an opinion.

Get Beyond Twilight! Now, its so good...I could not believe it... Its my newest obsession, go and buy it, the whole album/song is divided in 43 sections, and if you put shuffle you get a whole new song! And most of the times it works really good...this f**kers worked every second so good you can get infinity of possible great epic songs!!! Increidible...hehehe Im sure this guys must hear Tool quite a lot, as this is the only band I could think of would do something of this sort...
For me, the best album of the year.

Whichever you choose, leave The Last Bright Light for Last. Once you have heard that one, it will be a long, LONG time before you move on to something else.

Why can't he like many genres, as I do?
