Nor an album from The Beatles from start to finish.

Confess!  What "major" prog bands or albums have you never heard?

Oh dear, this could be quite an embarrassing confession...
I actually haven't heard any of the ones Rob mentioned
I've never heard all of Metropolis Part 2
Or all of Tales From Topographic Oceans
Alright, you can kill me now.

First of all i have to say it is a nice thread Thumbs Up
What i find weird about the albums you have listed is the beatles part.
If you like some beautiful melodies and music which is the opposite of dream theater, check out the white album or revolver, the music is so Smoke  if you are interested at all.

I've listened to a lot of The Beatles, but never a single album in one sitting!  I dated a girl who was crazy about them.

Any full Opeth album (probably should, I remember liking them).
All that much from Spock's Beard or The Flower Kings (not interested anyway).
Any Marillion. 
Any full VdGG album except for Pawn Hearts.
All of Tales From Topographic Oceans or any Yes album post GFTO.

I've never listened to any PT album in its entirety (from the two I have). I get either bored or unfortunately, a bit disgusted. 

Never listened to Metropolis Pt. 2 all the way through. But found many parts OK, many overly cheesy.

Never listened to more than 3 Marillion songs :D. Unfortunately the ones I did not leave a good impression on me.

Never actually listened to Cardiacs (ha).

Never listened to more that 3 Flower Kings songs.

Never truly listened to Opeth.

Never listened to more than half an album of Spock's Beard.

Barely listened to a Beatles album all the way through, myself.

Never listened to the Grateful Dead except one live album (one of "Dick's Picks"- pleasant enough)

Never listened to a full Metallica album.

Never listened to Phideaux (except one song)

Never finished a Rush album.

Never

Secret Chiefs 3
Sleepytime Gorilla Museum
Cardiacs
Bob Drake 
Three Trapped Tigers
Dodheimsgard

All modern, all essential in my opinion. There's more, I'm just lazy. Rush? Really nothing special in my eyes. Also I don't think I've actually ever listened to a Kansas album myself.

Find it very hard to define major
Everything i consider major, i'we heard at least 150 times too many. On the other hand there is a lot of stuff that my mates consider major, i just cant remember how it sounds, even though they have prob. played it to me, hoping i would grap it.

Unless the case is that you just dont think Rush is that major.
I love some early Rush, ok rock albums, but even though i have most, and know all the albums, I would not fall down dead, if I was not able to listen to it ever again.
 
But i would, if i could never listen to early ENO again Approve "baby's on fireeee"
 
This is and will always just be a matter of taste.

I have missed pretty much the entire RPI category so far aside from a couple of PFMs.
 
VDGG - Godbluff and Still Life.
 
Anglagard - Hybris or Epilog
 
Peter Hammill - The Silent Corner and the Empty Stage (and many of his other solo works)
 
Harmonium - Si On Avait...
 
Mike Oldfield - Ommadawn
 
Bacamarte - Depois De Fim
 
Focus - Hamburger Concerto (and most of their other albums)
 
Bubu - Anabelas
 
Frank Zappa - much of his discography.
 
Hatfield and the North - S/t and Rotters' Club.
 
Hawkwind - most of Hawkwind, aside from Blood on The Earth, Hall of the Mountain Grill and In Search of Space.
 
I am sure there are quite a few others but these are what i can think of as far as "major" misses.  I referenced the PA top 100 to compile the list.
 
EDIT:  Also thought of others:
 
Steve Hackett - Voyage of the Acoltyte
 
Can - Tago Mago
 
Kate Bush - Hounds of Love (recently purchased though so will be able to check off of the list.)
 
Wishbone Ash - Argus
 
On the flipside, I can say that I recently listened to Mirage from Camel for the very first time.  There was also a second classic album that I recently listened to for the very first time which I was going to include in this edit, but I'll be damned if I can remember what it was now that I am typing it. LOLEmbarrassed  Getting old does wonders for one's......oh what do you call that thing again?  EDIT EDIT: Now I remember, it was In the Land of Grey and Pink by Caravan.

When I first read this thread I though what a strange little concept and an odd thing to brag about, then remembered that I've never seen Jaws or The Sound Of Music and for good reason too: I don't want to. So, sure there are albums I haven't heard because I don't want to, and that probably would encompass Kansas and Steely Dan and Miles Davis... But mostly when there is an album or band that intrigues me I will track it down and give it a fair listen. Of the recent years I haven't heard any Haken, but I like To-Mera so do I need to? Probably not enough to make me want to.

It isn't bragging (at least from me).  Someone posted a review of Love Beach and it occurred to me that I never heard it.  So I began listing "major" (read: well known) that I had not listened to even once.  I decided to post what I came up with off the top of my head here and invite others to do the same. 

Also, beer.

I suppose it could be interpreted as bragging as it implies that I have heard everything else but x, y, and z.  Personally, I thought of it more as a Embarrassed moment, as in how can I be a regular on a prog site and not have heard x, y, and z.  And the expected response was "Damn Scott, you haven't heard that?????  You really must because it will blow your socks into tomorrow."

Nothing significant. My belief is that I've actually heard too much.

Oh, and Supertramp.

I could have said Santana, too, but I made the mistake up of putting on Caravanserai recently.

The modern ones don't surprise me too much, but Relayer and Hamburger Concerto really surprise me that you haven't heard them.

The only Yes album I've heard all the way through is Tales From Topographic Oceans. 
The only ELP album I've heard all the way through is Brain Salad Surgery.
I've only heard two King Crimson albums, two Rush albums, two Gentle Giant albums....

Ok, time for my admissions, I don't count missing an album here or there by an artist that much of a gap as it takes time & money to fill all the gaps. Of the big artists who I've either heard tracks by and not listened to full albums or just not bothered to check out the biggest gaps in terms of this sites demographics,

I haven't heard full albums by:-

Dream Theater
Opeth
Flower Kings
Glass Hammer
Peter Hammill solo (which is kind of surprising as I have lots of VDGG)
Focus (seem to have been on my wish list forever)
Mars Volta
Kansas
Transatlantic
Spocks Beard

I've listened to multiple tracks by all of them but never really felt the need to explore further other than Hammill & Focus.

I've never heard a Camel, Gong, or Magma album
Nor have I listened to Tarkus
And I've only heard one Gentle Giant album
Add PFM to the list of bands I've never listened to

Missing out on four of Rush's best albums?  Dude, check them out, it's some of the most brilliant stuff ever recorded.
I think Rush is the only band of whom I have heard every single song in their discography, actually.

LOL . Well at some point you have to miss on some things LOL . You can't cover everything ... I think. I think I might have heard 2112 in its entirety, although I don't remember that. I will check out on all of their stuff, though Smile .

On the topic: get ready for more shock. Everything by Pete Hammill, everything by Camel (except for a few tracks), everything by Supertramp (except for a few tracks), everything by Zappa solo (except for a few tracks), ... well, I suppose it's safe to say that the list goes on forever. Pretty much everything that's not on my reviews sheet Big smile .

LOLLOL . What track or album would you recommend from the Rush catalog that focuses on vocal melody or tone and melody going hand in hand?

You will not be dissapointed, trust me. Every track is executed with amazing musicianship, songwriting, composition and arrangements. Natural Science is phenomenal! My all time favourite along with Foxtrot.

Maybe it's because of all the hype. Maybe that's because it's something your parents used to listen to ... ?

Couldn't be further from the truth, actually. My dad's into Tull, Zappa, Richard Thompson, Rush, Trower, and stuff like that, so we share a lot of the same tastes. My mother doesn't really get into music at all, but neither like the Beatles, nor do they have any Beatles records. I own "Abbey Road" and some Best of, but neither do anything for me.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

A lot of Canterbury Scene I have not listened to. I've only really gotten into Gong and The Soft Machine. I also only own In The Land Of Grey And Pink, but I've heard If I Could Do It All Over Again on the computer.

I've never been able to sit through a whole Rush album. I've only heard one Gentle Giant album which discouraged me from going any further with them.
Never felt like listening to Godbluff, Pawn Hearts was enough. LOL

Get yourself some maudlin of the Well, wait until midnight, go to a dark, damp room (preferably with a dirt floor, plenty of spiderwebs, and maybe some prison bars), and immerse yourself into the vast world of Toby Driver's mind.

I think that musical impact is a matter of time and comfort, but I will consider your suggestion.
