Hi,
Sleeper .... I'm gonna report you for abuse to my wallet! In general, I do not like to make recomendations ... because things were so different in so many different places, that if you take some of these lists and go for a few of them, you do not learn that other countries also had some awfully nice music ... that you missed! It's too easy ... to not know that Italy, Germany, France, Spain, Brazil, Canada, Sweden, Finland, Holland, Poland, Czechslovakia (sp!), Argentina, Japan, Australia ... and so many other countries ... that also had unreal and far out stuff ... that you will never know, understand or appreciate! That said ... I am not sure that the "top ten" listed at PA is not a great list ... with the exception (as I said above) that it tends to sound the same or be way too similar for you to get the nuances or the difference!

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Ok - today I found SEBTP in a CD shop, and bought it. I just listened to it. I like it - but not really "More Fool Me" or "The Battle of Epping Forest".

More Fool Me never grows on you. The Battle of Epping Forest does.

I love `More Fool Me' as well, but I sort of agree about `Battle Of Epping Forest'. These days I sometimes seem to skip it. It's got some amazing solos and great playing, but damn it's wordy, and a little campy with the vocals.
So only a minor grumble, it's still a great album! I'm now going to give it a listen at work tomorrow! |

I love our new progger. Starting off the 70's well. SELLING ENGLAND BY THE POUND will grow on you and stay with you for years to come. |

Next I think I'll get CttE. Hell, I've already bought 5 albums this month, maybe I should let my wallet rest for a bit
I listened to SEBTP again, and I like MFM and BOEP more than I did the first time. Edited by zeqexes - September 26 2012 at 16:56 |

I think at the moment I probably like BOEF more than The Cinema Show.
Is there something wrong with me?

A friend of my thought so too. Well, the album is a bit laid back, that's true. Nothing really heavy on it. I love the compositions on it, though.

Ok - I'm in a dilemma. I can either get Fragile for $10 from my local CD store tomorrow, or order Close to the Edge online for $10, and it'll take about a week to arrive. Hardest decision of my life. What should I do?

Zeqexes, you won't go wrong with either album! You decision pretty much is `Do I want a great defining progressive rock album now, or do I want to wait a week for another great defining progressive rock album?' lol!
`Close To The Edge' is my favourite of the two, but `Fragile' is generally full of great stuff too! The jury's still out on Wakeman's `Cans and Brahms' on that album, though! |

It's a song that does not develop itself propperly and drags a lot.

Cans and Brahms is awesome, say me. I would still probably wait for Close to the Edge though. |
