What PA-less Prog album music are we listening to?

I thought this might be an enjoyable topic -- don't know if it's been done before.  This is a place to mention and discuss albums that "you" think are suitable for PA inclusion in one of the so-called Prog categories, and listen to each others music..  It doesn't matter if it's been formally suggested before, or cleared, as long as it's not in the archives.  This is a place to share one's enthusiasm for albums that one thinks would fit the Prog categoies without having to to go through some laborious suggestion/ evaluation process as well as having to prepare the addition.  None of that, these suggestions are for pleasure.  Please try to find a link to streaming tracks/ samples (youtube, myspace etc.), or legal downloads so that we can listen to some of the music.

I'll start with Vannier's L'enfant de assassin des mouches (it has been suggested before).  Fabulous album which I've been re-listening to a lot.





This was used for an Yves Saint Laurent fashion show.



So let's hear music from your albums choices.

Certainly, as long as they're the ones you think are "Prog" (to use that rather nebulous four-letter word).

Talking heads - especialy the albums "Fear of music" and "Remain in light" are examples of complex music, unregular beat (at least at their time), smart lyrics and an artistic attitude which I feel fits in PA very well. I realy like their music wheather it is concidered prog or not. I recommend listening to these albums. By the way, very nice idea Logan.

Thanks.  Those are very good albums, Omri.  Genre-blending, polirhythms, artsy, quirky, and of course there is Brian Eno' s contribution, Robert Fripp makes an appearance on Fear of Music and Adrian Belew is on Remain in Light.  Which is also neat cause of Belew joining King Crimson (which them had some very Talking Headsy music like "Elephant Talk").  I love the funkiness of Remain in Light.

I don't think the band should be here, but this song is definitely progressive. And it's f**king awesome.

What on Earth is going on in this album cover? Is her head being pulled out of a cow's arse? Or am I looking at the wrong angle?

OH YES

Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavillion. An Amazing psychadelic/indie/experimental rock album I highly reccomend.

I'd go for any of the later Tori Amos albums, but as I'd be getting on everyone's nerves, I won't. 

What the heck is it with people and posting just an album cover without saying what band or album it is? Seriously? Here. Try this one on.
