Here's another alphabetical prog album list, this time albums beginning with the letter "S". This list features some dark prog classics from KC, VDGG along with two of what I consider the earliest prog albums, Sgt Peppers and Shine On. There also some lesser known classics from prog bands that only released one album like Cathedral, Khan & Yezda Urfa. We also have Pete Sinfields' great solo album along with the Crimso album cryptically describing someone as a "health food fa**** with a bartered bride"... coincidence? I don't think so  Remember this is a multiple poll so vote for all your favorites! Have fun...

Bixio, Frizzi, Tempero - Sette Note in Nero has been my most played S album over the last year, I'd say. My fave S of the lst few months is not in PA, Mandingo - Story of Survival. And herbie Man''s Stone Flute is superb. Dunno if Solar Plexus is in PA. So many S's I love like Sextant, Stormcock, St. Radigun's, Song of Innocence, Synmphonie Pour le Jour... On the list: Space Shanty, Symphonic Holocaust, Storia... |

| Starless and Bible Black. Though I'd probably have voted Rush' Signals if it were here. (And yes I know there's an other option). |

Still Life by Van der Graaf is most probably in my top ten albums ever. It probably took about eight listens to even begin appreciating it - now I can't listen to Pilgrims without spinning the whole album, it's just that addicting. Though, as with all of my all time favorites, I don't play it that often. Starless and Bible Black is also of my favorites. Such an excellent album. -------------  |

| I was dreading this one... Selling England it is, just barely topping Still Life by Opeth. Honorable mention to Riverside's Second Life Syndrome too. |

What the hell, I voted for Stormwatch. Certainly an underrated album and the last from Tull's classic period.

Scary Monsters got my vote but Script nearly did too. Afterwards I thought of Space Ritual and felt a pang of deep regret, I thought of the long path that had led to now and never, never, never.... ------------- Help me I'm falling! |

OK, here goes. I voted for Selling England just because it's probably one of the 10 greatest albums of all time. But I feel so bad not voting for other faves, especially Pulsar, whose first three albums are virtually sacred to me. So here's my list: 1. Genesis - Selling England by the Pound 2. Pulsar - Strands of the Future 3. PFM - Storia di un Minuto 4. Marillion - Script for a Jester's Tear 5. Steve Hackett - Spectral Mornings 6. Morte Macabre - Symphonic Holocaust 7. Van der Graaf - Still Life 8. King Crimson - Starless and Bible Black 9. SFF - Symphonic Pictures 10. Beatles - Sgt. Pepper ------------- PROGMATIC |

Me too! I bought Halloween first and liked it so much I decided to try out their French vocals albums...I liked Pollen & Strands of the Future so much I took a chance on other French lyric bands like Ange, Mona Lisa, Arachnoid, Versailles, Atoll, etc. I guess you could say Pulsar was my gateway drug to French prog

Wow, a lot of my favorites on here - Tull, King Crimson, Triumvirat, IQ, Khan, Hackett, Genesis, Beatles, Bowie, in no particular order. But I am casting a vote for an album I think is really good but is often overlooked or overshadowed by such polls: Smallcreep's Day by Mike Rutherford. For the Genesis completion, we should also add Peter Gabriel's So, Tony Bank's Still, Anthony Phillips' Sides, and even Phil Collin's Seriously Live!  ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

You forgot "Songs From The Wood". Anyway, you keep putting in non-prog albums in your alphabet Prog albums polls. Beatles, Bowie and a few others don't qualify.....according to PA they are prog-related and not prog as such. Cheers |

Selling England by the Pound. Dunno if Scenes From A Memory counts in a vote for Other, as it's full title is "Metropolis Pt. 2..." Also, Songs From The Wood. -------------

Sgt. Pepper is TO ME the best album ever made, so obvious vote is obvious. Selling England, otherwise, would've gotten it if it wasn't on there...for some reason...

On here I voted for Spectral Mornings, Storia Di Un Minuto and Space Shanty (Genesis doesn't need more votes!).
