I stuck to bands actually in symphonic here at PA. It would change
drastically if I were to add symphonic albums added from bands in other
subgenres. Something like this:
- VdGG - Pawn Hearts
- Il Balletto di Bronzo - YS
- Gentle Giant - Three Friends
- Genesis - Nursery Cryme
- ITCOTCK - King Crimson
- Ange - Au-delŕ du Délire
- Banco del Mutuo Soccorso - St
- Museo Rosenbach - Zarathustra
- PFM - Storia Di Un Minuto
- Yes - Close to the Edge
- ELO - St (No Answer)
- Camel - Mirage
- Eloy - Inside
- Aphrodite's Child - 666
- Osanna - Palepoli
- Heaven & Hell - Vangelis
- Artcane - Odyssee
- Le Orme - Felone e Sorona
- MIA - Cornonstipicum
- Jethro Tull- Thick as a Brick

Most of these albums are from bands in other subgenres...

^ which is .... exactly what he said, isn't it? If you look at my chart you'll also see that it contains many albums that are from other genres. That's simply because many bands changed their styles from album to album, something which cannot be expressed by the one genre per band structure of this website's database. It also has advantages though ... keeps it nice and simple.

Well, from the lists above, neither VDGG, Caravan, Egg, Khan, Hatfield and the North or Mike Oldfield have any Symphonic relation.
I may admit Pink Floyd has certain remorte copnnection, but to add all the Canterbury bands as symphonic is too much IMO..
On the other hand, ITCOCK is the Symphonic album that set the parameters of the sub-genre.

Sorry Robert. I've thought about this long and hard, but it's just too difficult.

I suppose I didn't say, "keep things within PA's symphonic genre," (I thought it was understood) but oh well!

Ok, I'll make a bit more of an effort buddy.
Several by Yes, several Flower Kings, possibly three by IQ, two by Glass Hammer, two Genesis, two Floyd, two Spocks Beard, one Quasar, three ELP, one Par Lindh, and more...................probably adding up to more than 20. Sorry  . Don't even start to ask me to put 'em in order though!!! |
