I agree with this, and "Carrying No Cross" is the best thing they band ever did. (Saying that as a statement, not a Hot Take)LOL

^Throw out Rush, add in Pink Floyd, and you've got yourself a list (not in that order, but still)

^ It's not that I've ranked them from my favorite to least favorite, I just think they are the biggest.

King Crimson > Genesis > VDGG >> Yes >>> Rush >>>>>>>>>>> ELP.

And, for me, PF isn't prog, it's psychedelic rock.

-An Hour Before It's Dark is the best Marillion album.
-Peter Hammill is the best prog singer.

Edit: pensándolo bien... Rush is definitely bigger than the other five. Idk what I was thinking 🥺

While I don't think it's perfect, I, too, do not understand the general distaste for Systematic Chaos. It's one of their best albums for me, up there with Six Degrees..., Metropolis Pt. 2, Awake, and Images... and certainly better than Octavarium and Black Clouds... for me.

Not quite prog, but I take Rubber Soul over Sergeant Pepper, The White Album and Abbey Road night and day.

You're not alone in that opinion. In fact, I'll go one more step. I think it's better than those other two, just slightly. Embarrassed

Boring Dystopia's: The Lost & Lonely Last Son of Nothing!


Or their demo album: Lullabies & Other Whims of the Dying Kind.


Excellent obscure, groovy and psychedelic business. Long song, too. Good for driving, LSD, or even housework!

I'm not much in with modern parlance, but I believe a 'hot take' is an opinion on something which is unconventional or goes against the grain.

I'm not sure how this link fits in to this context... are you saying that the music in the link isn't well thought of by most people, but you actually think it's really good?

Please expand...
Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

For a start they are an obscure, under the radar forever type of project that are definitely worth a listen. I'd say the songs need more time in the oven with a little more TLC, but what's there is listenable with the tank empty cruising that extra 50 miles... if 114 minutes is long enough to go that far.

This isn't a hot take imo. I've always thought 'The Remembering' was the best song off TFTO
