In this poll are the top 25 albums in the Rate Your Music all-genres and all-time chart when only including one album per artist/band (the top-rated album) that also are listed in Prog categories/genres at Prog Archives -- I have not included ones included in Prog Related and Proto-Prog at PA. The list includes studio and live albums as well as archival releases. I did make one exception for this, because PA has a complete discography policy, a Miles entry I dismissed. I could not bring myself to include Miles Davis' Kind of Blue, and instead went with the second-highest ranked Davis album, In a Silent Way (1969). The numbers after the band/artist name are the chart ranking at Rate Your Music. Here is the chart: https://rateyourmusic.com/charts/top/album/all-time/deweight:live,archival,soundtrack/" rel="nofollow - CLICK HERE Please excuse any possible mistakes, here are the top 50. Radiohead - OK Computer (1) Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here (3) King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King (4) Godspeed You Black Emperor! - Lift Yr. Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven! (21) Miles Davis - In a Silent Way* (33) Kate Bush - Hounds of Love (38) Björk - Vespertine (40) Yes - Close to the Edge (52) Swans - Soundtracks for the Blind (66) Talk Talk - Laughing Stock (72) Can - Future Days (77) Sigur Rós - Ágætis byrjun (92) Death - Symbolic (102) Frank Zappa - Hot Rats (103) Eno - Another Green World (131) Genesis - Selling England by the Pound (166) Comus - First Utterance (178) Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick (187) Tool - Lateralus (206) Kraftwerk - Die Mensch-Maschine (218) Herbie Hancock - Head Hunters (228) Opeth - Blackwater Park (249) This Heat - Deceit (268) black midi - Hellfire (285) Camel - Mirage (302) Invisible - El jardín de los presentes (329) Rush - Moving Pictures (333) Coil - The Ape of Naples (344) The Mahavishnu Orchestra with John McLaughlin - The Inner Mounting Flame (386) Gorguts - Obscura (392) Nine Inch Nails - The Fragile (403) Van der Graaf Generator - Pawn Hearts (408) Robert Wyatt - Rock Bottom (427) Magma - Rétrospective Vol. 1 & 2 (428) Neurosis - Through Silver in Blood (431)* Electric Masada - At the Mountains of Madness (433) Agalloch - Ashes Against the Grain (437) Tim Buckley - Dream Letter: Live in London 1968 (441) Mastodon - Crack the Skye (458) Soft Machine - Third (464) Santana - Abraxas (466) Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band (480) Mr. Bungle - California (487) Ulver - Bergtatt: Et eeventyr i 5 capitler (499) Isis - Panopticon (511) Caravan - In the Land of Grey and Pink (513) Boredoms - Vision Creation Newsun (519) NEU! - NEU! '75 (524) Weakling - Dead as Dreams (534) Peter Gabriel - Peter Gabriel (546) Don't think this Neorosis is Prog either, and some others methinks, but I just chose to exclude Kind of Blue. ------------- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - Duos for fave acts |

You know I think I'm gonna behave like the obsessive fanboy I feel like, and vote for Black Midi - Hellfire - this time around. It's such an impressive album. I'm happy to see it being such a great success - relatively speaking. So very well deserved. I hope we'll get a myriad of exciting young and hungry bands and artists that manages to carve out something as unique and finds an audience. A little renaissance for (real) progressive music of sorts. That would be fun. I kind of like every album here. At least to an extent. If I tried to choose ten favorites, I think it'll have to be these: black midi - Hellfire (285) Miles Davis - In a Silent Way (33) Kate Bush - Hounds of Love (38) Camel - Mirage (302) King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King (4) Comus - First Utterance (178) Kraftwerk - Die Mensch-Maschine (218) Can - Future Days (77) Talk Talk - Laughing Stock (72) Radiohead - OK Computer (1) Looking at the albums I've left out here this doesn't feel right, but I followed my heart and competition is strong.

| There are so many great albums to choose from here that I can't decide at the moment, so I'll wait and see how the rest of the voting goes. At the moment it's a choice between:- Kate Bush; Camel; Genesis; King Crimson & YES. |

Genesis > Yes > Tool > Floyd > Camel ------------- 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 |

This is a ridiculously strong list with some 5-10 albums that I'd rank top in most polls where they appear. I'd be very happy to vote for Kraftwerk or This Heat, who don't appear that often, however I will vote honestly and Laughing Stock is a top 5 of all time album. |

This is a super strong list, with Herbie Hancock, I would have preferred it to be the next ranked album with Sextant (I think it was, love that and Crossings). For this list, I particularly love (in RYM ranking order): Radiohead - OK Computer Godspeed You Black Emperor! - Lift Yr. Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven! Miles Davis - In a Silent Way Kate Bush - Hounds of Love Björk - Vespertine Swans - Soundtracks for the Blind Talk Talk - Laughing Stock Can - Future Days Comus - First Utterance Kraftwerk - Die Mensch-Maschine This Heat - Deceit But I really liked and have loved many more albums in this poll. It really is an impossible choice, but this year especially Soundtracks for the Blind has been such an important album to me that I will give it a vote -- hardly an auto-vote, however. It's a really long album that I find really satisfying. ------------- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - Duos for fave acts |

Yes, 30 votes so far and not one for King Crimson's debut. Amazing! I could understand it if it was Larks' Tongues in Aspic in the poll instead.

These would all be contenders for me: Radiohead - OK Computer Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King Godspeed You Black Emperor! - Lift Yr. Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven! Yes - Close to the Edge Sigur Rós - Ágætis byrjun Frank Zappa - Hot Rats Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick Kraftwerk - Die Mensch-Maschine Camel - Mirage But if I really had to choose just one, then I'd go with my first love and the amazing compositions and playing on Close To The Edge.

This was part one of 23 part series of albums that are included in both Prog Archives and RateYourmusic, and with another topic on "prog" albums in RYM, I thought I would revive this. ------------- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - Duos for fave acts |
