I may have to try the Etudes then seeing as I have Cluster’s piano Nabitte in my list. I suppose Georgel could be a György/Organ reference although I actually started exploring by following up notes to Tangerine Dream’s Alpha Centauri saying they had been listening to Ligeti’s Atmospheres (and In The Wake Of Poseidon played at 16 RPM). It’s a pity Ligeti gets no name check for Diminutions on the CD remaster of VdGG’s Pawn Hearts.

They are my favorite band but need some love for some others. Legend is wonderful. I need to break it out again soon!

I listen to a lot of different styles of music so I will try and keep it to just prog stuff.

I'll limit myself to one album per band. Here goes nothing:

Yes - Tales from Topographic Oceans
Jethro Tull - A Passion Play
Genesis - The Lamb
ELP - Brain Salad Surgery
Yezda Urfa - Sacred Baboon (but Boris is fantastic too)
National Health - NH or Of Queues and Cures...both are great
Hatfield and the North - Rotters' Club
Khan - Space Shanty
Osanna - Palepoli
Mirthrandir - For you the Old Women

Crap, I left out a lot of my favorites (some Caravan, VDGG, Camel, PFM, Bubu, Gentle Giant, Il Balletto di Bronzo, Dream Theater, Bacamarte...etc) -_-
Those of you who put four or five albums by the same band should have your prog credentials revoked...
