^ I am a Glass Hammer fan and I have to say that the 2 albums with Matt Mendians drumming are probably my favourites.
Anathema completely blew me away (excuse the pun) with Weather Systems. That rarely happens.
I did almost include that UK album in my list and then couldn't decide between that and Danger Money. In the end I included neither

What's the deal with the small text? Anyway, yes, it is very possible, especially since this is our own personal top 10 list, which obviously means our subjectivity and own tastes get in the way of things.  I certainly couldn't give a top 10 list objectively. That's just not in my nature.

Difficult to choose, despite my constantly thinking about it.
1. Thick as a Brick - Jethro Tull
2. Selling England by the Pound - Genesis
3. KA - Magma
4. Close to the Edge - Yes
5. Per Un Amico - PFM
6. In the Court of the Crimson King - King Crimson
7. Trilogy - ELP
8. Mirage - Camel
9. First Utterance - Comus
10. Si On Avait Besoin D'une Cinquieme Saison - Harmonium
So many of these albums are thanks to ProgArchives, without which I may have never heard of them.  I love this website.
