Miles Davis  -  Bitches Brew

I do consider Davis' Fusion albums as Progressive Music, and Bitches Brew is definitely my favourite of these too, even I'm also 
quite fond of Live/Evil and Dark Magus
                      quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond

To be frank, I am not even a quarter versed in Miles' discography and BB is put up once in a blue moon to polarize friends and neighbors lol Big smileLOL

He is definitely progressive in the true sense of the word. I am expecting a mention(s) for those 2, Big Fun, JJ, KOB, Silent Way, Aghartha, Spain maybe?

How did I miss them?! Yeah, that one is the 1! Clap

Don't know the album or most of what they do, but that album cover is so sickening and bad taste I don't want to listen to it! Is this something DT fans tend to agree on??

Okay, by Prog I will use it to mean music in our Prog categories.

Dead Can Dance - Spleen and Ideal
Miles Davis - Big Fun (over Get Up With It)
Demon Fuzz - Afreaka!
The Decemberists - The Crane Wife
Dionne - Brégent - Deux
Dom - Edge of Time (sole album but one of my very faves in PA)
Dungen - Ta det lugnt
Dzyan - Electric Silence
Doctor Nerve - Ereia (with The Sirius String Quartet)
Devil Doll - Eliogabalus
Diablo Swing Orchestra - Sing-Along Songs for the Damned & Delirious

No doubt I'm missing lots.

Most D albums: Dead Can Dance. Here's a timeless classic from Into the Labyrinth. Miles Davis is pretty much up there and Al Di Meola not far behind.

No, most DT fans don't care as much for Systematic Chaos. I'm an outlier on this one. I think most DT fans lean more closely to their favorite being among Images and Words, Awake, Metropolis Part 2, or Six Degrees

Yes, having Systematic Chaos as a favorite is unique, but so is having Awake as favorite (like me). Smile

You are right about the other three (although SDOIT was never a favorite of mine, just a decent effort).

I was shocked to see Systematic Chaos, and The Astonishing also getting mentions😳Awake does little for me but I know it’s pretty popular. It’s Images And Words for me though, such a great sounding album😎

So:

Dream Theater - Images & Words
Deexpus - The King Of Number 33

Nobody has yet mentioned Dün - Eros:
 
 

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

^ some people like The Astonishing including me. Its actually listenable compared to some of the tehnical mish mash of so many of their albums. I don't listen to much by them nowadays but would probably go for Octavarium first followed by Six Degrees and Awake after that. I also love the EP A Change Of Seasons. They nailed the prog metal thing on the title track.
