If you didn't see this coming, then you don't know me well enough. LOL
 
Would it surprise you if my answer were still Rush? 


No. LOL
 
I didn't think so. 
 
Don't get me wrong I don't dislike either band, but neither of them is one of my favorites.   I kind of think of King Crimson as a Yes-spin-off/side project band.  I started listening to them many years ago, but only because I try to collect all things Yes-related, and since Bill Bruford happened to leave Yes for this side project...  Gentle Giant, on the other hand, is one of those "greatest prog rock bands that you never heard of" until the past few years.  For the most part, good and enjoyable music, but they haven't been filtered through these ears 20,000 times like a certain previously mentioned other band.

I don't listen to Rush. Tongue

Pat's married and has a child (and another on the way) and loves Rush.

Alex is just a n00b. LOL

I've never heard about Miriodor, actually. But I know Harmonium, barely. I have quite a huge amount of disdain for French-Canadian music, but Harmonium is actually helping me get over that.

I love them both to death, but I prefer Crimson.

I think it is... only problem I've had with it is one person I know hated Leg End, but quite liked IPOL.

So, I guess it depends on your taste.

Soft Machine and Matching Mole I also know a couple of songs...
 
Anyway, there's already a bunch of stuff I want to get after the holidays, but I did write those titles down, thanks.

What Egg, National Health, Henry Cow and Robert Wyatt albums should I get first?


Henry Cow: Get all of them. Big smile

Really though... it all depends. Probably Leg End is the most accessible, but it has quite a bit of a background in jazz (more than the others do).

Egg's debut is a fine place to start, although I consider The Polite Force to be their best.
The first two National Health albums are essential, get both.  Start with debut first I suppose.
I would get Henry Cow's debut Leg End to start.
Wyatt's album Rock Bottom is a consensus best, and actually the only one I have from him.  Want to get a lot more from him at some point.

You should also check out Soft Machine and Matching Mole.

Rush and Yes are my top 2 and have been for a long, long time.  I'm not really sure who my next 3 are.  They kind of change from day to day and based on my mood.  The top candidates are probably The Flower Kings, Spock's Beard, ELP, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Journey, Chicago, Pink Floyd, and The Moody Blues.

Probably something like Rush, Yes, Henry Cow, Magma, National Health.

Except since I've been listening to Rush and Yes for almost 20 years, I'm not listening to them much these days because I have so much incredible music I've only recently discovered.

I'm a huge Canterbury and Dave Stewart fan (re: National Health above), also love Egg and Hatfield & the North, as well as all the major Canterbury outfits.  Big fan of Elton Dean, Alan Gowen, Hugh Hopper, and obviously Robert Wyatt.

Love chamber prog such as Univers Zero, Art Zoyd, and Present.  Love most RIO/Avant and Zeuhl I've discovered (obviously).

That's me in a nutshell, I suppose.


We have 3 of the same top 5. Big smile

Hug
