^Yeah, I didn't know it either before actually looking through the liner note of Transatlantic's SMPT:e album! LOL
It was then that I made it my goal to actually hear the original which turned out to be an even better performance... it's mind-blowing to realize that it was released in 1968!

Great list!
 
I didn't know "In Held Twas in I" was by Procal Harum. Fantastic, one learns something new every day.

Gates of Delirium would have been my choice, but I'll go for CTTE...

Voted for "Tarkus", which deserves a lot more love than it usually getsWink. However, I could have as easily voted for CTTE, TAAB, "Echoes" or "Nine Feet Underground". "In Held 'Twas in I" is also a great song, while I am not familiar with Triumvirat's opus. Then, I don't really care for either "2112" or "Supper's Ready".

Supper's Ready by a narrow margin over CTTE and Thick as Brick, with Echoes also right up there.

Let's just say that I doubt that your love for Pink Floyd's Meddle has that much to do with the first five compositions on that album. Wink


Damn, there goes my best kept secret !
Supper's Ready is a close second.

Lots of excellent ones, but I went with the immortal "Supper's Ready."  Personally, I prefer "Hemispheres" over "2112" and "The Gates of Delirium" over "Close to the Edge," but it's your list.

I agree with your Rush and Yes choices whole heartedly.  Hemispheres (imo) is the most superior Rush album.  I also really like Moraz in Yes, so Gates of Delirium would be my favorite album from Yes.

However, I would choose ELP's Tarkus by a very small margin over Suppers Ready, Close to the Edge, and 2112.  Tarkus is just nasty.

Funny thing is that my personal list would be quite different including pieces like Murglyss III, Jane's Between heaven and hell, Discipline's Before the storm, Can's Halleluwah, Song of Scheherezade just to name a few.

Thanks for reminding me about Discipline! Clap
I remember listening to the sample track I while back, unfortunately I never managed to find out which band it was. Unfolded Like Staircase seems like an album worth seeking out.
I also haven't heard Jane's Between Heaven and Hell while Halleluhwah, Murglyss III and Song of Scheherazade simply didn't make it among my top ten favorites.

One of the first for sure. Another great one from the same time (sometimes dated 1967, more often 1968), overlooked here on PA, is What Love (Suite) by The Collectors.

That composition is definitely overlooked by me but I will make sure to seek out this album! Wink
