Hopefully people on here can identify with this(moreso than elsewhere on the net). If you get in one of those moods where you just want to 'prog out.' Just listen to prog in it's purest forum. What do you reach for? For me the first side of the Tarkus album, pretty much all of Selling England by the Pound, maybe some GG like The Power and The Glory or In a Glass House, something from The Yes Album maybe or the title track to Close to the Edge. |

| Selling England is the perfect prog album--its magical from beginning to end---and sounds nothing like "normal" music ---of course Tales and CTTE are other examples. |

Wait a min.. I see Peter Gabriel in there but where's Phil?? No Jacket Required is pretty much mandatory for any CD collection of this size. Anyway, right on Spooky Tooth(you know I like them), Barclay James Harvest, etc.. good stuff here.

For Echolyn my choice for full on prog would be mei. The End is Beautiful sounded like a normal rock album to me(closer to alternative than prog)and probably the least prog sounding album they have done(although it was still good). l would agree with most of the others though.

Hi, Shame ... to just go for a few things ... I have 1500 LP's and 2000 CD's and I wouldn't have them in my collection if any of them were not the special music that they are ... I can't even choose, and sometimes I just close my eyes, run the fingers through and what it stops on ... gets to be heard ... The surprise factor is worth it ... a new appreciation, which we all can get from any album ... but for me, most often, it is like listening to the album the very first time ... I don't look "back" at some favorite because my little Johnson is now old enough and feels like it has to get a rise from listening to that song to reminisce myself of the nice time I had with that girl .... some 30 or 40 years ago ... I'm insane, but not crazy, and my wife is better than any of them and these albums.   PS: She agrees with me ... some music is nice ... but as much as I love the experience of the music and its details left and right and post here ... I can count these albums you would like to see listed on just a couple of fingers ... but they mostly relate to that time and place, and not today, even though listening to it is just as good as it was yesterday ... except I have more warmth with me now!

By the way, I forgot to include Rush and Styx in my original prog albums list at the top of the page but they're in there now.  I'm listening to "The Wall" by Pink Floyd right now, although I'm not having a "prog out" - I'm just listening to all of my double-CD's all at once.

I guess I should but I don't currently own it. Also, definitely check out the earlier stuff like As the World. That was sort of like their homage to Gentle Giant.

Sorry, I'm just not a fan of King Crimson, as you probably already guessed when I didn't know who Adrian Belew is - although I do now. By the way, the extra "n" in "unnnecessary" was unnecessary.

Being a member of ProgArchives is a constant education, but at least I knew who Robert Fripp was before I arrived here. By the way, I'd never heard of Alex Lifeson of Rush either, until I posted my recent Guitar Heroes poll, so that's another new name I've learned since being here.

Not necessarily. If you prefer to 'prog out' to newer stuff then post that. I just don't know that much newer stuff except Spock's Beard and some Marillion. I'm basically all about ELP, classic Genesis and classic Yes. Oh and Gentle freaking Giant if I want to prog the %$*% out.

Date Posted: November 06 2019 at 20:25
Out of the ones I mentioned I probably like Are you ready Eddie the best because it doesn't have that old west saloon feel to it like the others do(or what I affectionately refer to as "silly cowboy songs").

I always think of "The Wall" as a Roger Waters solo album, in just the same way as "The Final Cut" album, mainly because Roger Waters sings on both albums instead of David Gilmour. As for Phil Collins, he's a great drummer, but as for his singing, I take that at "Face Value" with "No Jacket Required". "But Seriously", I can "Testify" that I can see "Both Sides" of his appeal as a drummer and a singer. Gosh! Is that the time? "Hello, I Must Be Going." I'm "Going Back" to "Dance into the Light" now and listen to some Peter Gabriel-era Genesis.  |

Hi, I'm gonna state that if I can not take my whole library of music with me, then I don't want any. I "already" have that music inside of me, that I enjoy tremendously anyway, and I can tell you that on an isolated island, on a sad, quiet day, I can hear the whole album in my head ... and love the heck out of it. I guess it's like your favorite blanket, or pillow ... it has some properties that one can not exactly describe. ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about!

I think you mean RIO (Rock in Opposition). Magma is Zeuhl not RIO. Present and Thinking Plague are two other RIO bands. |

Well, if you count Magma then you would have to count every Zeuhlish or avant garde band. May as well throw in Sleepytime Gorilla Museum and the Muffins(who to be fair are sometimes considered RIO BUt just as much Canterbury) while you're at it.
Actually, I do think Magma played at some of those festivals or something early on so in some ways maybe not too much of a stretch. |
