Although I've already named my favourite non-prog album I would also like to mention Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill . Superb rock album , everything came together perfect on that one. So that would be my choice for best 'non prog rock' album!

Fav prog: Brain Salad Surgery
I was going to put in Haggard - Tales of Ithiria as fav non-prog (since it was my fav album prior to dropping into the prog tastes), but to my honest surprise, they are actually listed on PA. Which I mean, fair enough, I can see why, but didn't expect  So I'll probably go with Electric Wizard- Come My Fanatics for fav non-prog then

Prog: Wish you were Here.
Non Prog: Wish you were Here. Does that make sense? OK, really, I wouldn't really know which is my non-prog fav album, I only know that my very favourite album is Wish you were Here. Perhaps if I had to go with a non prog album, I could think of something like "Mother Earth" by Within Temptations or "Secret of the Runes" by Therion. |

 Although I don't have many non-prog (excluding prog-related, etc) albums to choose from, "Blood Sugar Sex Magik" is an album that I like a lot (I think of it as a masterpiece). What is your favourite track? There are four tracks in particular that are rather special to me: Breaking the Girl Suck My Kiss Under the Bridge Sir Psycho Sexy Of these, my favourite is a choice between "Breaking the Girl" and "Sir Psycho Sexy". |

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

During my young teenage years, Black Sabbath were my favourite group. It wasn't really until my late teenage years that I started listening to prog in earnest. I don't think it was because I wasn't exposed to prog when I was younger, but would've considered much of prog to be too "folky" to have appealed to me. Even the prog I did like I liked because it rocked. Also, even during my younger years, I was never really too far away from prog. For example, a favourite song when I was young was "Hold Your Head Up" (Argent), and my favourite part was the keyboard solo in the middle (which was disappointingly removed in the radio-edit version). |

For me, make that seven or even eight album run. I like "Technical Ecstasy" about as much as the previous six albums, and I also like "Never Say Die!". After that, I lost interest in Black Sabbath, though in more recent years, I've been playing them more often. I recently listened to "Heaven And Hell", but it sounded to me more like a Rainbow album than a Black Sabbath album. I've not listened an any of their more recent albums. |

Interesting,
For non-prog, three Black Sabbath albums have now been cited. I don't think I would have predicted so much appreciation for Sabbath among progheads.

As a string of seven the only other one I think competes is the big seven from the Moodies. Even my beloved Rush has a dip here and there.

Katy Lied is a darn good album, but I slightly prefer The Royal Scam(which is my second favorite SD album right behind Countdown). I hold all of their first 7 albums in very high regard though. As I've said many times already on this forum, I'd put those 7 albums against the first 7 by ANY other music artist ever.

Yeah man, I've been listening to that a lot lately. Songs like Pearl of the Quarter and Razor Boy, just too good. No weak song either. Truly a special album.

Really cool choice all around. I remember when I first heard Countdown to Ecstasy. It was a total revelation.

Prog all time favorite - Selling England by the Pound by Genesis. Favorite right now - For Girls Who Grow Plump in the Night by Caravan. Non-Prog all time favorite - Argus by Wishbone Ash. Favorite right now - Countdown to Ecstasy by Steely Dan.
