Nah, Tony Banks would be arguing for a bunch of classical stuff and his favorite Genesis record would be Wind And Wuthering, definitely above SEBTP where Gabriel spat his loads of gibberish words all over Tony's nice and clean epic instrumental...or at least that's how he would put it, lol.

Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)

I absolutely cannot do a top ten prog albums, lol. I can barely organize my top ten Genesis albums. I will say though, if Queen's A Night At The Opera is prog enough for inclusion, that's my number one seeing as it's already my number one out of any genre.

richardh - even if LOG isn't prog, it's still one of my favourite album. Everything else I like is Genesis or Rush or Pink Floyd or KC

I will try to pick other albums than Jean's, but one has to be on my list too, and that's "Fairy Tales" by Mother Gong. This album is so very special to us because it directly connects to our kids.
The other nine, in no specific order: Amon Düül II - Yeti Klaus Schulze - Picture Music The Residents - Eskimo Peter Hammill - The Fall of the House of Usher (1999 version) Edgar Froese - Epsilon in Malaysian Pale Can - Tago Mago Ash Ra Tempel - Join Inn Khan - Space Shanty Peter Baumann - Romance '76 Like Jean listed with the caveat that this list will be totally different on a different day, with the exception of the Mother Gong album that I cannot praise highly enough. Just for comparison Jean's list: Mother Gong - Fairy Tales (this one will always be on the list. one of the greatest albums EVER) Van der Graaf Generator - Pawn Hearts Magma - MKD Hawkwind - Warrior on the Edge of Time Clearlight - Clearlight Symphony Tangerine Dream - Rubycon Gong - You Klaus Schulze - Mirage Ozric Tentacles - Jurassic Shift Amon Düül 2 - Tanz der Lemminge

One album per band rule. I'll go with chronological order, some comments; a bit boring list I know. KING CRIMSON. Lizard Maybe the furthest detour to weird lands in their history. Brilliant and picturesque. JETHRO TULL. Thick as a Brick They have a few more masterpieces and perhaps the biggest "Very Good!" collection in prog. Hard to choose one so let's take the safest route. Everyone knows it by heart, but if not, LISTEN AGAIN. FRANK ZAPPA. Waka/Jawaka Unless we're talking live material (i.e. Roxy), this has been my favorite FZ album for the last couple of years. Entire 1972-75 run was mindboggling. GENESIS. Foxtrot Now I'm not hip anymore because Foxtrot edges out Selling England more often these days. FOCUS. Hamburger Concerto How good is it? Well, to steal a spot from Pink Floyd you must be dang good! VAN DER GRAAF GENERATOR. Godbluff Scorched Earth or Arrow intensity are almost impossible to match. On par with Pawn Hearts and that means a lot. MIKE OLDFIELD. Ommadawn Again a safe pick, there are days I'm more fascinated with Amarok, Incantations, or even Five Miles Out era. But Ommadawn is always there at the top for me, love the atmosphere, would like to live there. YES. Going for the One Awaken is usually my go-to Yes song, but all compositions here impress me to this day. If not for male buttocks, it'd have 4.30+ rating! ANEKDOTEN. Vemod For some it's just a bunch of KC fanboys, for me it's the definitive balls-out mellotron-storm take-no-prisoners summon-ghosts autumnal extravaganza. Well, in prog. ÄNGLAGÅRD. Hybris Incredible band in its most potent incarnation. If success depended on talent and merit, they would fill the Cowboys Stadium three nights in a row. |
