By the way, that may seem to be an objective statement, Enigmatic, while as I see it, taste is a subjective matter. Smile

I'm curious about your name, even I think that I can guess the Red-part of it.

The debut album is surely not one of their highest rated, but it's the one I certainly like best.

I like Rednight's taste in music. I don't see even one album on his list that I wouldn't consider a classic prog album. I love them all.

Well, if you need a conclusion, you better do it yourself. I don't need any, as I haven't started this thread with the purpose to answer some specific questions - which should be obvious reading my OP. Sorry

Can't wait, but post it somewhere else. Maybe it will trigger some interesting discussions. Top 100 list of obscure British albums list doesn't belong in "20 of your great UK prog classics" thread.

Thanks very much for your help, Enigmatic, but I don't think Paul was quite serious - rather more making fun of somebody who seems to think that threatning others is the right way to get his will. Thumbs Up

If you'd like me to post conclusion to this thread, I'd like you to show me how to do it because frankly speaking, I don't know it.

Thanks. I was being enigmatic as I haven't decided where to post it yet, but you're right, it doesn't belong on this thread.  Smile

Thanks! I've been collecting prog albums for over 30 years, which I know is young compared to some, but, yes, I'm definitely not a "beginner". Smile
