^ Yes, it seems. And you seem not to be much aware of forum ethics: it is actually not done to revive (refresh, bump...) your own threads when there's nothing new to add, in order to keep them artificially alive when - clearly - there is not much interest for it. But maybe I'm the only one who still values old(-fashioned ?) forum ethics... Question

Many great ones on your list; glad to see the Pell Mell debut!

I would venture the first five Triumvirat albums

Mediterranean Tales
Illusions On A Double Dimple
Spartacus
Old Loves Die Hard
Pompeii

and as rare as sin, is the single album by Strange Days-9 Parts To The Wind from 1975 and though some see them as Krautrock only, the first five studio albums by Germany's Wallenstein qualify for me as Symphonic Prog, and damn good ones, at that!

Wallenstein-Blitzkrieg
                   -Mother Universe
                    -Cosmic Century
                    -Stories, Songs and Symphonies
                    -No More Love

Thank you very much, Paul, and a A-Z list is no suprise here. Smile 

Btw, as I now have made a list of my Symph albums, I've confirmed Symph Prog to be by far my very fave sub-genre
- not least if I include RPI.
