The ELP, Zep, Yes and Miles and Zappa albums are the only one worth getting imo, in that order. I recommend you ave up and get the Zeppelin complete studio recording box instead. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/ocellatedgod" rel="nofollow - last.fm |

| Led Zeppelin's "In Through the Out Door" is actually quite good in my opinion. Get that one over "Presence". |

That would be silly since i only miss Presence, In Through the Outdoor & Coda.  |

| Besides The Beatles, Tarkus, Trilogy and the two Yes albums, if you are into 'classic' prog. I am not a fan of AC/DC, and none of the listed Rainbow and Dio albums are their best. On the other hand, I quite like Presence, in spite of its dodgy reputation. |

^^^^ I know that the Dio and Rainbow albums arn't their best. I already own their best albums, i'm just getting the rest of their albums! |

OK then... Long Live Rock'n'Roll is a good album indeed, though not on a par with Rising, of course. I haven't heard those Dio albums for a long time, but I remember being rather disappointed by both when they came out. |

I hope that atleast "Sacred Heart" is good, since i really like "The last in Line". Even "Killing the Dragon" is pretty decent. |

| Since I'm on a streak, go with Miles. Its quite a strange, great album. |

All of the Beatles stuff is essential but I voted for "Let it Be" which is their most sadly under-rated, and one of their finest albums. Get the Naked version which cleans up the sound nicely. As a second pick, Presence was the last good Zep album and strong throughout, with the wonderful "Tea for One." |

Happy to see I'm not the only fan of this wonderful song  ! Have you ever heard the cover Joe Bonamassa did of it some years ago? |

| Raff, nope, but my friend has some Joe, I'll see if he owns that disc. |

It depends, there are excellent albums listed there, but very different on genre, so here: I know you like Ac/Dc, then I highly recomend you High Voltage, though I'm surprised you don't have it yet. Let There Be Rock will go for your appeal, since you like Powerage. From Zeppelin, I'm not a big fan of their later era, though I consider it to be their most progressive. I would go for Presence. From The Beatles, well those 3 are classics! My fave is Abbey Road, so there. Zappa's Waka/Jawaka is very good, not my fave, but has a lot of classic tunes. Rainbow's Long Live Rock n' Roll, is good up to one point, but that's the opinion from a guy who doesn't like Rising. Yes' first 2 albums are faves of mine, though they're not for the normal Prog/Yes fan. The dominate keyboard is the hammond, and the guitar is less virtuosic, etc, etc. If you have Supertramp's debut and you like it, then go for them. You like hammond? Start with Time and a Word. If you don't like it that much, then go for their debut. Though for me both are great. ELP, well, I must say get Fanfare For The Common Man(Anthology or something of the like) of ELP. You got Tarkus(the epic) in it's entirety, plus the classics of Trilogy, and of course a lot of other great stuff which you must know. If not, get Trilogy for consistency. Hope you find this helpful, and not boring. Merry Christmas, by the way. |

| Ryan, right on about Bonzo. He's still my favorite drummer for his personality of playing, I'll take him over all the techno-players everyone raves about all the time. |

I went with ELP's Trilogy album because it's just so dern good but you really need Revolver in your collection. That's when the world turned more progressive. ------------- "Literature is well enough, as a time-passer, and for the improvement and general elevation and purification of mankind, but it has no practical value" - Mark Twain |

Get the first Yes record! Then get the Yes BBC collection from their early period.....Banks really was a fantastic guitar player. ------------- I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there..... |

| I voted Time and a Word by Yes. In addition to that one, get Yes' debut, the Led Zep albums, and ELP's Trilogy. |
