Pretty boring and predictable list (Prog only):

Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon

Pink Floyd - Meddle

Seventh Wave - Things to Come

Kaleidoscope - A Tangerine Dream

The Enid - In The Region Of The Summer Stars

Yes - Relayer

Prog Related

801 - Live

Bowie - Station to Station (really)

Kate Bush - The Kick Inside

More recent albums that would be much higher up the list if they were older:

Mansun - The Attack of the Grey Lantern

Secret Green - To Wake The King

Pain of Salvation - The Perfect Element

Porcupine Tree - In Absentia (and/or Deadwing)

Opeth - Still Life

Radiohead - The Bends (not prog, but who gives a ___)

What?

You lucky, lucky, lucky man. For my sins I was in a live-gig doldrums in the 90s and never got to see them. I understand Paul Draper is working on a new project The Anchoress, and that's something that has made me genuinely excited about a potential music release for the first time since Francis Lickerish announced his return to the music world after 30 years silence.

What?

^Well it would seem that you Brits are making a strong musical comeback. I just checked out the band Syd Arthur after reading Orbiter's recent reviews and must say that it's some of the best modern "Canterburian" music I've ever heard. Right up there with Antique Seeking Nuns. It's not often that I come across modern prog bands that are this melodic and song based, and still manage to keep my interest.

I'll have to ck that out too since Canterbury is one of my favorite genres.....and I love ASN.

Thanks for the heads up.

No problem Smile

I sincerely hope more people pick up on these lads, because they really do sound like they would appeal to a lot of prog fans.

I hope you dig em as much as I do.

Gosh, I don't know... If I had to guess, probably De-Loused in the Comatorium by The Mars Volta just because of how long I've had it and for the fact that I still regard it highly. Moving Pictures would likely be second. Then maybe Dark Side of the Moon.

Hmm.. probably

Scenes from a Memory - DT

In Absentia - PT

Part the Second - maudlin of the Well

Sound Awake - Karnivool

Radio Music Society - Esperanza Spalding

Since I started scrobbling music, last.fm says my most played albums are

1. Karnivool - Sound Awake (265)

2. The Reign Of Kindo - Play With Fire (214)

3. North Sea Radio Orchestra - I a moon (208)

4. Joni Mitchell - Hejira (200)

5. The Decemberists - Hazards Of Love (190)

6. The Reign Of Kindo - This is What Happens (186)

7. Esperanza Spalding - Radio Music Society (179)

8. A Perfect Circle - Thirteenth Step (172)

9. maudlin of the Well - Part the Second (170)

10. Motorpsycho and Ståle Storløkken - The Death Defying Unicorn (168)

Not sure how accurate of a snapshot of my listening habits that is, but for the short term, that's pretty true. I'm not usually one to replay albums over and over again - I usually will absorb an artist's discography at once, hence my high artist plays of the likes of DT and PT who have large discogs while none of their albums appear on the list (although SFAM should be... I played that CD relentlessly when I first got it).

Har har.

It was one of the first five prog albums I bought (and the best), so I listened to it a lot. I have more music now but I usually just play it through my computer, so 'tis still TaaB that's winning there.
