Here are 10 albums that almost have nothing in common with each other, although a few could be seen as being in the same style.

Definitely Roxy Music's "For Your Pleasure"...any album with a song like "In Every Dream Home a Heartache" deserves to win  ------------- https://wytchcrypt.wixsite.com/mutiny-in-jonestown" rel="nofollow - Mutiny in Jonestown : Progressive Rock Since 1987 |

Bleh . . . No Phideaux, No Gazpacho, No Big Big Train, shoot, not even anything from Steven Wilson, nothing newer than 2000?

I went with the Moodies. Saga would be 2nd. I think that Amorok is the only one that I haven't heard on the list. All of them are pretty enjoyable in their own ways. -------------

NIN are one of the very best Prog-related bands I can think of.
Downward spiral is a great album, but not even close to their best work. I would have put either GHOSTS or THE FRAGILE:THE HALO 14 on this poll. Far better albums and still fit the same genre specifications ------------- Gimmie my headphones now!!! 🎧🤣 |

I Robot has been very a special album to me. I haven't listened to it for a long time, but it was one of my very favourite albums for a long time. |

Good list! Tough choice. Gonna go with Supertramp on this one: too many all-time favorites on Even in The Quietest Moments... ------------- Drew Fisher https://progisaliveandwell.blogspot.com/ |

Big Big Train is one of my favorite bands right now, but the Xover label is just wrong. If anyone deserves a genre switch its them. ------------- Crushed like a rose in the riverflow. |

Amarok out of a very strong field. I love the ELO, Roxy Music and Saga albums as well. ------------- A GREAT YEAR FOR PROG!!! |
