Here's another alphabetical prog album list, this time albums beginning with the letter "S".  This list features some dark prog classics from KC, VDGG along with two of what I consider the earliest prog albums, Sgt Peppers and Shine On.  There also some lesser known classics from prog bands that only released one album like Cathedral, Khan & Yezda Urfa.

We also have Pete Sinfields' great solo album along with the Crimso album cryptically describing someone as a "health food fa**** with a bartered bride"... coincidence?  I don't think so LOL

Remember this is a multiple poll so vote for all your favorites!

Have fun...

Bixio, Frizzi, Tempero - Sette Note in Nero has been my most played S album over the last year, I'd say.  My fave S of the lst few months is not in PA, Mandingo - Story of Survival.  And herbie Man''s Stone Flute is superb.  Dunno if Solar Plexus is in PA. So many S's I love like Sextant, Stormcock, St. Radigun's, Song of Innocence, Synmphonie Pour le Jour...

On the list: Space Shanty, Symphonic Holocaust, Storia...

Starless and Bible Black. Though I'd probably have voted Rush' Signals if it were here. (And yes I know there's an other option).

Still Life by Van der Graaf is most probably in my top ten albums ever. It probably took about eight listens to even begin appreciating it - now I can't listen to Pilgrims without spinning the whole album, it's just that addicting. Though, as with all of my all time favorites, I don't play it that often.

Starless and Bible Black is also of my favorites. Such an excellent album.

I was dreading this one... Selling England it is, just barely topping Still Life by Opeth. Honorable mention to Riverside's Second Life Syndrome too.

What the hell, I voted for Stormwatch. Certainly an underrated album and the last from Tull's classic period.

Scary Monsters got my vote but Script nearly did too.  Afterwards I thought of Space Ritual and felt a pang of deep regret, I thought of the long path that had led to now and never, never, never....

Gong's Shamal.
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.

OK, here goes. I voted for Selling England just because it's probably one of the 10 greatest albums of all time.
But I feel so bad not voting for other faves, especially Pulsar, whose first three albums are virtually sacred to me.

So here's my list:
1. Genesis - Selling England by the Pound
2. Pulsar - Strands of the Future
3. PFM - Storia di un Minuto
4. Marillion - Script for a Jester's Tear
5. Steve Hackett - Spectral Mornings
6. Morte Macabre - Symphonic Holocaust
7. Van der Graaf - Still Life
8. King Crimson - Starless and Bible Black
9. SFF - Symphonic Pictures
10. Beatles - Sgt. Pepper
