Hey, you can be more generous than that! Wink

Why the s/t over SB??

I love both, but wanted to put CB out there!!  "Sufficiently Breathless" is a favorite of mine!  

I worked with the band when they were attempting a comeback in 2001, but times were very hard for rock music in general, what with 9/11 and the economy.  RIP Rhino!  I think drummer Bobby Caldwell is still pounding away at it, no pun intended.  The latest product is not nearly as amazing as the first two LPs.  

Since others have opened the door for Alice Cooper, I'd nomimate the amazing LP "Killer!!"  Their song "Halo of Flies" was perhaps the most progressive in their catalog.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Personally I went for Air Cut because it's their 'nicest' sounding album to my ears but also for the 17 year keyboard protégé that gives the likes of Moraz, Emerson and Wakeman a run for their money!

Righty, we're on to C! Smile
You know the drill - band, album, and explanation for the album. 
Everything Prog is fair game - even the big names! 

I will begin...
*just a list for now, so explanations will come later - or there will be too much in one post.* Confused

Camel - Rain Dances just edging out Moonmadness

Caravan - "If I could do it... all over you" (1970)

Cressida - Asylum 

Catapilla - Changes (1972)

Captain Beyond - s/t

C. Beefheart - Safe as Milk

Cardiacs - Sing to God

Carmen - Fandangos...

Centipede - Septober Energy

Chicago - CTA

Cluster - 2

Billy Cobham - Spectrum

Colosseum/II - Valentyne and War Dance 

Comus - I mean....come on now LOL

Curved Air - Air Cut 

Can - Ege Bamyasi 
I promised....so here we are!

Camel - I like the warmness Sinclair brings to an already solid Prog foundation - giving the album a stormy autumn-like feel. Moonmadness is great too, but nowadays feels too predictable and polished with little to no groove or balls.

Caravan - Very tight choice here but that album wins it for rawness, flow, and the sound of a BAND free of commercialist expectation, doing what they do best!

Cressida - With only 2 quality albums, Asylum strikes me as a matured band with great feel for melody, songwriting, and experimentation.

Catapilla - The same with the above can apply here ^^.

CB - The band with Prog as the focus, and god knows what happened afterwards!

Beefheart - Not representative....perhaps, but I digress. This album feels like a deviation into the less-claustrophobic realm of music with a sense for what the record buying public might enjoy. It's a shame he stuck to his guts and bully tactics for so long after. 

Cardiacs - Their masterpiece bar none - must be due to firsthand emotional appeal!

Carmen - Hell, they were really fixated on being the patent of that style. Gotta give it to the debut, anyway. If not for Glascock, I could care less for their existence.

Centipede - 1 album right?? Well, it's a masterpiece for what it's worth! 

Chicago - debut or 2, debut or 2 blah blah blah ). Gotta give it to CTA for the band trying to be themselves and most unique - to hell with pop sensibilities LOL

Cluster - someone pointed out the debut hits them right in the feels....well, 2 hits me somewhere else ShockedWink

Cobham - what comes close? Crosswinds? I don't care because Spectrum has Cobham and Mastery written all over it! 

Colosseum - Valentyne defines Mark 1 band....while Wardance doesn't entirely, but shows some new trodden paths for the Mark 2 band.

Comus - I don't need to go in detail....but the debut remains the staple of that style which contains only 1 album, and that album is First Utterance!

CA - Jobson was the missing piece all along! Up to then, they sounded like a local church band being told they must play pop with 'rock' instruments. 

Can - Tago is one over bloated mess of an experiment with goodies scattered between. Ege levels itself in all dimensions the band possessed to great effect; I wish the album was a double! Monster Movie doesn't move me in the slightest, while Days and Babaluma signaled a direction that didn't last, and the band broke up for a short while Sleepy
