All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.

Nice list, especially the Genesis, Pink Floyd, and Camel. Don't know if I've heard Yessongs. This is a live album, correct? I can't remember.

It is although the production is a bit sh*t even for a live albumWink

I actually prefer Yesshows with superb renditions of Ritual and Gates Of Delirium.

I like Keys To Ascension a lot, which has great versions of Siberian Khatru, America and Starship Trooper.

I love both live Yes albums but the Yessongs by association I guess. No doubt YesShows a far superior production, but it was the 70's, crackles, hisses and skips were the order of the daySmile Quality was not a major.

I know. Why don't you start your own thread.

'Every single album I might ever want to listen to if I was ever lucky enough to get stuck on an island'

Or you could just cut and paste..

Yes - Close to the Edge (my favourite album)
Pink Floyd - Ummagumma (my second favourite PF album, but I'm a bit more in their late 60s sound at the moment)
Discipline - Unfolded Like Staircase (one of my recent favourites)
Hamadryad - Safe in Conformity (a 4-star album for which I have a weak spot)
Maudlin of the Well - Part the Second (something different, #2 in my 21st century top 10)
Big Big Train - English Electric (Part One) (#3 in my 21st century top 10)
Echolyn - s/t (#1 in mu 21st century top 10)
Alejandro Matos - Freak (something different, a 4+-star album with some masterpiece content and a high potential to grow on you)

Can't help it, but I miss Gentle Giant, Van der Graaf Generator, Genesis, Gnidrolog, Magma and Deluge Grander in this list Cry.

In the Court of the Crimson King - King Crimson
Kind of Blue - Miles Davis
Music for 18 Musicians - Steve Reich
Selling England By the Pound - Genesis
Mirage - Camel
SMPT:e - Transatlantic
The Smile Sessions - The Beach Boys
Still Life - Van der Graaf Generator
The Sky Moves Sideways - Porcupine Tree
(enormous classical compilation)

Not necessarily in that order. I might have to ditch the Beach Boys in order to get Ravel because I doubt the compilation would have him. Oops, that's ten. I hid two in highly uncomfortable places, so I earned them.
