 Topic: Best Of The Best Albums (Subgenre)
Posted: December 01 2013 at 14:58 |
Hi, just wondering what everybody's favourite album that is number 1 in its respective prog subgenre is. For me, it is King Crimson's debut without a doubt!  Although, if I had included Proto- and Prog-Related, Led Zeppelin IV would be my choice.
As always, thanks for any feedback 
P.S Sorry I couldn't include the subgenre within the poll option - not enough room for all of them  |

Many excellent albums in this list, but Close to the Edge is my all time favourite.

Misplaced Childhood for me. Not the best neo-prog album IMO, but still excellent.
Caravan, Yes, Floyd and Rush also deserve honorable mentions.

Close to the Edge is the winner for me in this poll, but ITCOTCK, Moving Pictures, and WYWH are all way not far behind. Honorable mention to Jethro Tull's TAAB, who needs a couple more listens for me.

A very easy vote for Mixtus Orbis as that is the one that I would list as my favourite of its category. My second choice would be the also excellent Ash Ra Tempel.
Love Miles Davis, but would rather one of the albums he was included in JRF for had made the list.

Not crazy about this list. At any rate, from the list I voted for Frank Zappa - Hot Rats.

When he rides, my fears subside.
For darkness turns once more to light.
Through the skies, his white horse flies.
To find a land beyond the night.

Many albums I really love on this list, and some others I don't know yet. However, I must go with Wish you Were Here. I'm kind of dissapointed it's doing so poorly here (as well as Close to the Edge).
