^ Anabelas is a killer album -- highly accomplished; excellent. 

Lots of A+ A albums, but I feel like voting other for Archaia's self-titled -- been revisiting that album a lot.  It took me some time to fully warm up to it.

On the list: Angel's Egg, Arachnoid, and Atom Heart mother are particular favourites.  When quickly scanning the list, I not quite almost mistook Ethos - Ardour for Eskaton -- Ardeur.  Never heard the former, but love the latter.

A close call between Animals and Angel's Egg.
I am currently digging:

Hawkwind, Rare Bird, Gong, Tangerine Dream, Khan, Iron Butterfly, and all things canterbury and hard-psych. I also love jazz!

Please drop me a message with album suggestions.

So keep in mind I have to limit the voting list to 24 so if you don't see a specific album ("A", "And Then There Were Three", etc...) it either means they're not in my collection or I had to cut them to make the top 24 a varied list.  That's why there's an "other" category Wink

I went with (in no specific order)

A Farewell to Kings
A Passion Play
Au Dela du Delire
Angels Egg
Abbey Road
AOXOMOXOA
Mutiny in Jonestown : Progressive Rock Since 1987

I had to pick Animals... love that album.
 
By the way, am I the only one wondering why albums with an initial article are included under A? I would have file "A Trick of the Tail" under T. No big deal, really. Wink

While I like many of these, the only one of these that I really love is Eno's "Another Green World"

I Will Pick Eno's masterpiece, Another Green World. He is outstanding, with a very rare talent, even though he is not a musician, he knows music better than anyone. And this is one of his best albums.

Many good choices, but I'm going with APP.

I would usually have a tough time deciding between Faith No More's "Angel Dust" and The Mars Volta's "Amputechture", luckily this is the prog section, soo...

Anno Domini High Definition by Riverside, tremendous album!

Voted for Angel's Egg.  Funny that that other Jethro Tull album beginning with A is not included.  Now what was it called .......... (Answers on a postcard please) ...
?
 
or ...And then there were three.....
 
Astral Weeks is a good not prog choice.

Some killer albums on this list - Arachnoid, Animals, Atom Heart Mother, A Night At The Opera, Acquiring the Taste, Angels Egg and A Tab In The Ocean especially get my nod of approval...

But I have a lot of love for Ange's `Au dela du Delire' - any album where Christian Decamps gets to f**k-snap and display that wild manic croon is OK with me! That was also one of the very first prog albums I ever heard and nothing prepared me for it!
