Can are in the lead here for me. I think Soon Over Babaluma is their best album but I love all their usual suspect albums and more Then I also have all regular albums by my avatar man Holger Czukay, of course a Can member. His albums seem to be so much less known but there's lots of strong material. I play something from Clash. This album has only three ratings and my review is the only one. Apparently this kind of epic techno prog isn't for the many, just for the few. But for sure for me! I'm also a big Camel and Cardiacs fan and both have a strong presence in my collection.

Can - Ege Bamyasi I'm also fond of Tago Mago and Future Days, but Ege Bamyasi is to me the perfect blend of melodic, experimental and groovy.

The usual suspects have been mentioned, so I'll go with a lone
masterpiece that I got introduced to only a year ago or so. In my
opinion this is closer to contemporary music than to prog, but hell, it
is in the PA database, so here it is: Luciano Cilio - Dialoghi del presente  |

Safe as Milk has always felt oddballishly normal to me in Beefheart's discography, love it to death though!

Oooh I didn't even think of putting Curved Air on mine! Good choice! Personally would have put Phantasmagoria but great band regardless

Camel - Snow Goose, the band doing the best at what they're best at
Coltrane - Om, super ahead of its time and unique in it's style of Free Jazz; Pharaoh Sanders who played on the album went on and expanded on what was set with Om but it never achieved the rawness that Om had. Caravan - In the Land of Grey and Pink, I know it's like the default choice for the band but Sinclair's singing never gets old. Nine Feet Underground only gets better the more I listen to it Cluster - their first album gets me right in the feels, don't know why but it does Cathedral - Stained Glass Stories, somehow achieving that neo proggy Anglagard sound but in the 70s, which sounds counter intuitive but that's really what the album is to me, it's amazing Cos - debut, only album of theirs I really enjoy AND the band starts with a C Conlon Nancarrow :) - Studies for Player Piano, I mean it was black midi before black midi and he pushed what you could do with composition, amazing CAN - Monster Movie, favorite album of theirs, the jam is just nutso |

Chick Corea no doubt. Such a huge catalog of incredible solo projects. Impossible to choose one favorite as it changes daily. Today it's Trilogy 2.
Covet - Technicolor Non-prog Alice Cooper - Billion Dollar Babies Elvis Costello - Trust Edited by Grumpyprogfan - August 26 2023 at 06:44 |

C is a big letter for me
Cheer-Accident - 10 CAN - 8 Cardiacs - 8 Claudia Quintet - 7 Favorite is probably Cardiacs - Sing To God - Fiery Gun Hand, I came late to Cardiacs discovering after I'd got into all the big guys in the avant genre in the 2010's, was blown away by their edgy punk prog. Fiery Gun Hand and Dirty Boy are probably their masterpieces but their albums are chocked full of classics. |

Righty, we're on to C! You know the drill - band, album, and explanation for the album. Everything Prog is fair game - even the big names!

Beefheart - Safe as Milk Cardiacs - Sing to God Carmen - Fandangos... Centipede - Septober Energy Chicago - CTA Cluster - 2 Billy Cobham - Spectrum Colosseum/II - Valentyne and War Dance Comus - I mean....come on now  Curved Air - Air Cut Can - Ege Bamyasi
