I know the "Top 100" album list here is very subjective and can change frequently ... but I like to look at it for suggestions of titles that I should try. What's the (currently) highest rated album on the list that you don't own? For me, it's "The Snow Goose" by Camel. Looking forward to trying that out. |

Moving Pictures. I'm not counting Wish You Were Here, even though I don't own it, because I used to.

Well, I have "Moving Pictures" by Rush burned on a CD, so I'm not sure if that counts. If it does, then the next one down the line is #17: VdGG's "Pawn Hearts." Not too shabby for someone who's been into prog for a year, really. ------------- The crux of the biscuit is the apostrophe. http://www.last.fm/user/sbonfiglioli/?chartstyle=red">

Yeah, I guess I'm counting "own or have owned". Several (like "Wish You Were Here") I have on vynil but not CD, and even though I don't have a turntable I theoretically could go out and get one and still play it ... |

it is an excellent album (as is the follow up Epilog). Both can be hard to get hold of - they seem to be issued in small batches and get snapped up quickly. They're both still in print, thank god. So definitely get Hybris if you see it ... most good online prog stores have it (eg Lasers edge, Syn-Phonic) - but go out of stock fast. ------------- I was never really sure what I was waiting for.

sad to see so many people without Rush, personally I rate Permanent Waves and Hemispheres higher than Moving Pictures but its still essential prog IMO. Some really good music on Moving Pictures. The only track I don't rate a 5 star track is Witch Hunt, Moving Pictures is easily accesible and easy to get into, plus just high quality overall. But I am a Rush fanboy ------------- "The rock and roll business is pretty absurd, but the world of serious music is much worse." - Zappa |

#3 JETHRO TULL "Thick as A Brick". I tried to listen through it, but I didn't like it... By the way, you can try searching Änglagård's albums from here: http://www.mellotronen.com/ - http://www.mellotronen.com/ I think they even published them, no? Their farewell concert seemed to be on sale. Just remeber when searching, A <> Ä or Å.

(as a PT lover) d'you mean you hope to get them (and thus remove from list) or are you hoping that they'll become so unpopular they'll remove themselves off list ... ------------- I was never really sure what I was waiting for.

Yes, parts of it anyway. Thick as a Brick - like Tull's material before this but found it a lumpen stodgy affair when they turned full blown prog. |

Last time I started this topic, it was Red by KC for me. Since then I bought it, so I'm now down to #20: http://www.progarchives.com/Progressive_rock_discography_CD.asp?cd_id=1909 - KING CRIMSON ------------- Blog this: http://artrock2006.blogspot.com |

The ones i don't own is: #16. Dream Theater - Scenes... #30. Änglagård - Hybris #33. Dream Theater - Images... #37. Porcupine Tree - In Absentia Others in that list: 48, 49, 50, 54, 56, 57, 60, 62, 65, 66, 68, 72, 73, 76, 77, 78, 80, 81, 85, 89, 90, 91, 93, 94, 98, 100
So of the top 100 list I'm missing a bunch, but then I have add over 1000 kraut albums not in that list + loads of obscure albums, I think I can live without the ones on the list I don't have... some of them are even crappy. ------------- *Dancing madly backwards on a sea of air* - Captain Beyond |

I checked again, and atleast I can find their album as the second last item in their lists. Did you look under Ä and not A? You should also find it from Record Heaven: http://www.recordheaven.net/ - http://www.recordheaven.net/ |
