That's it! I've had it! There's too many Floyd fans in the Lounge! Selections like Wind and Wuthering so out-rule tripe like Animals that it's not even funny.

Mother Gong - Fairy Tales


Nik Turner - Xitintoday

both albums are definitely in my top ten prog albums of ALL TIMES, so do yourself a favor and listen to them. if you want the links I can provide them; especially Xitintoday is a bit hard to find if you don't know what you are looking for.
both albums were not available on CD for a long time so it is not a surprise they are so little known. but they are real gems


i listened to your uploades Jean and they sounded very good. Thumbs Up to bad the albums are almost imposible to find.

A Trick of the Tail. One of the greatest Genesis albums, although I must admit I prefer the Gabriel-era. Of these, Going for the One, which is not so fantastic if you compare it to others like CTTE, Tales or Relayer, but we have to remember that by 1976 Progressive rock was under pressure by the recording companies and that obviously made the quality decrease a little bit...

other, since it's pretty hard to choose, I know I shouldn't do that, but...

Sfinx - Zalmoxe (since a favorite is asked about)

You omitted Eloy's top album Ocean but included the one before it and the one after it.
No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

This was a tough choice but I decided to go with the crowd and vote for Pink Floyd - Animals.

good god man.. what a lame selection.  As I've often said.. it wasn't punk that killed prog.. it was prog that killed prog haha.

voting other here...  any of about 30 albums that smoke what the popular ones were doing.

flipping a coin.. ahhh...Kew Rhone

The Quiet Zone/The Pleasure Dome - a very special and criminally underrated album.

Haha too true. I'd probably say my favourite on the list is either Animals or Leftoverture, both of which I'd call solid 4 star albums. But I'd put any of the following leagues above anything in this list:

Bubu - Anabelas
Crucis - Los Delirios Del Mariscal
Rayuela - Rayuela
Gotic - Escenes
SBB - Memento z Banalnym Tryptykiem
Return To Forever - Romantic Warrior
Weidorje - Weidorje
Magma - Udu Wudu
Opus 5 - Contre-Courant
Laurent Thibault - Mais On Ne Peut Pas Rever Tout Le Temps
MIA - Cornonstipicum
Harmonium - l'Heptade
Sloche - Stadaconé
Arco Iris - Los Elementales
Weather Report - Black Market
Novalis - Sommerabend
Ragnarok - Ragnarok
Brand X - Moroccan Roll
Tangerine Dream - Stratosfear
CANO - Au Nord de Notre Vie
Ashra - New Age of Earth

nothing to do with tastes Cristi...  just the lack of imagination and progressiveness in said albums. Prog by the numbers... genrefication (© Micky 2006) and losing the original sprit that made teh music so fresh and vibrant is what killedt the scene in its first incarnation more than anything. Oh it still existed.. which is part of my point.. it just found in critically acclaimed.. but commerical failures like.. Kew Rhone.

Some albums I like quite a bit in this list. However, they pale before this one:
