The best less popular prog LPs

Drama. Man, it is so much better than Going for the One or The Yes Album, which are just adored but overrated. Drama was the last time Yes really pushed themselves, absence of Jon notwithstanding.

As for The Wall getting slammed, it really has a few too many duff tracks to hold up as a whole. Yes, it has some truly great moments (Comfortably Numb, Run Like Hell), but also some trite (Young Lust) or annoying after the tenth time (Another Brick in the Wall Pt. 2) tracks. The trio of albums Floyd released before that were much cohesive, and I think that alone pulls The Walls rating down.

1 Grobschnitt     - Solar music live
2 Novalis            - Novalis
3 Lands end       - Natural selection

also ...
Amon DuulII    - Wolf city
Steve Hillage    - Fish rising
Kebnekajze      - Kebnekajze II
Mostly autumn - For all we shared
the Trees        - On the shore
the Strawbs     - From the witchwood
Anekdoten       - Vemod

And a lot of others like The Flowerkings and Spocks beard that might be too well known to be of interest in this thread.

    
i was looking at the top 100 list of the most popular albums and i couldn't help notice that the first places are held by more than obvious choices, the 'classics', the 'it would be a sin if i rated it with less than 4 stars' LPs. and i'm not saying that they they don't deserve it, but aren't there a lot of others that have a soft spot in your heart? that if you could you would replace them for a top 10 position? how would that top 10 list of yours be?let me start..

01.Yes - Drama
02.Pink Floyd - The Wall
03.Porcupine Tree - Recordings
04.Camel - Camel
05.Eloy - Floating
06.Dream Theater - Falling Into Infinity
07.Queensryche - Rage For Order
08.Fates Warning - Inside Out
09.Rush - Grace Under Pressure
10.Marillion - Seasons End
