Comments, anyone?

At this point, it would be a harder task to find 20 non-prog albums not on PA 

Ghost Rider wrote: Excellent list, Thomas, but why not in the Suggest Bands section? According to the site rules, if these bands have one prog album, they should be here.

Interesting, would that let Dire Straits in?

/One of the main arguments I've seen against their inclusion is that only Love Over Gold is progressive, and I've seen very few suggestions that that album isn't prog.

Frankly, I don't really mind either way, since it saves me writing a five star review.

King By-Tor wrote: Telegraph Road sure as hell is prog, but the rest... meeeeeeh, no. Great music, not really prog though. Although there should be some kind of Dire Straits appreciation somewhere. [Edit] - although I don't know that all bands are judged by that one album rule, otherwise Helloween would be here for Keeper Of The Seven Keys (three albums)... IMO anyways!

Hm. I'd have considered the tense, atmospheric Private Investigations the unquantifiably most prog thing on the album (tense, atmospheric, psychedelic and unusual). Love Over Gold and It Never Rains similarly violate structure as much as anything. Even the sarcy thing (Industrial Disease, IIRC) has some odd undertones and choices.

I'd be fine with them not making the cut, even if I think that album is more progressive than Moonmadness and Moving Pictures put together

The bands need to be added to PA before the albums can, so you need to propose the artists via the Suggest New Bands thread.

The list contains only outright prog artists/albums, nothing even remotely outside of the genre and sub-genres. I posted here because it's a list and I am not suggesting INCLUSION , just response or comment on whether someone out there has heard any of these "unknown" gems. Then , individually, I would consider escorting them to the suggest bands thread. And get the admins to eveluate each one that has had a response! That's OK, no?

I've got

Wilding-Bonus Pleasure Signals on CD

Joachim Kühn Sunshower and another good one by him somewhere in my LP collection.

Haven't heard Sunshower, but Springfever with Philip Catherine on guitar is excellent - haven't played it for a while, so this is a timely reminder.

That's the other one, thanks for the reminder.

Perhaps Bald Friede can clue us in on Bundt, Tritonus and Kuhn (Akkerman on guitar)  , they are most definitely worthy of at the very least some discussion. Wilding-Bonus amd Lancaster-Lumley are Brand X offshoots . Adrian Wagner was a Hawkwind session player (mostly with Calvert) , Caldera is jazz-rock, Hobson's Choice is a US band that made a fabulous symph album. Jennings is a member of Mostly Autumn, Secret Cinema deserves finnforest bloodhound nose, as well as Lost Tales, both good ISP symph. Grime, Raison de Plus and Alpha-Ralpha are good unknown French bands, from different eras. Thanks for the input everyone, keep on sifting .
