Lots of great choices! Here are my favorites:
1. Scheherezade
2. Liege and Leif
3. Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus
4. Days of Future Passed
5. Demons and Wizards ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

Herbie Hancock - Sextant. Because it´s probably one of the greatest fusion albums ever made, and the one where he would let the electronics shine through in the music without ever retracting from the other instruments involved( he did it with Crossings as well, but I slightly prefer this one). BUT what a bunch of records you´ve got together there uuuhuuhhuu!! From what I have, all these are great if not sensational: Spirit, Koenjihyakkei, Banco, Can, Egg, National Health, Marillion, Gong, Phideaux and I love the Porcupine as well. Get ready for some musical hibernation. I´d wish I was able to do the same thing. Oh well putting Herbie on

Phideaux Number seven! Brilliant choice, the way, voices, lyrics, instruments, atmoshere, etc. gels togeher, just pure magic. Beardfish, also a wise choice. You could have skipped the King Crimson and Porcupine Tree outputs, but if you like them, enjoy! ------------- Don't Bore Us, Get To The Chorus |

The Egg album is my fave from the list.
Honourable mention to all the Henry Cow, Can, Herbie Hancock, National Health, VDGG and Koenjihyakkei albums. They're all great too.

Demons & Wizards! Epic album. Godbluff and Scheherazade & Other Stories are close.

Lots of albums I love in that list (and a few that aren't to my taste from what I know of them). I was going to go with Tago Mago, but then decided to give another vote to Sextant. Though Crossings is my particular favourite Hancock album because I find it so rich and rewarded repeated listenings more, Sextant, which I found automatically very accessible, is also incredible. Tago Mago I found harder to fully get into than Ege Bamyasi but loved it after it fully clicked. |

| First thought that I'd pick Liege And Lief, absolutely fantastic folk gem with Sandy Denny on vocals, but then noticed a Canterbury classic Of Queues and Cure, which is a miraculous masterpiece. |

I'm a bit surprised to see the amount of Phideaux votes! I think his music is possibly my favorite modern prog: it pays homage and wears his influence on it's sleeve, yet it manages to be challenging, innovative, and completely original!! ------------- Continue the prog discussion here: http://zombyprog.proboards.com/index.cgi ... |
