 Yeah I bought it, hated it, listened to it again, hated it even more....and then it seemed to gel from there. Wasn't my introduction to the world of pork though but it may just have been the first album I bought, where I knew what prog meant...and sure enough just after I'd come across this site. |

There are plenty of other albums I think deserve the #1 spot, but based on the above I agree it's a great album for the uninitiated to start with. Shoot, it was my first Yes album followed a month later by Relayer then Tales a month after that so it's apparently a perfect prog-gateway album  |

I haven't checled the top 100 in a long time but the number one spot used to alternate between Foxtrot, Thick As A Brick, Wish You Were Here and Close to the Edge.
Be that as it may it still serves as a pretty good starting guide for noobs. For the rest of us it is far more interesting diving in at the deep end of the pool. There is so much brilliant stuff out there beneath the surface. Edited by Guldbamsen - September 23 2017 at 11:57 |

I'm just wondering. It's been number one on here for as long as I can remember.
