I agree. Except you need Gimme Shelter too. Other than that, he's right

So many bands i listen to are considered prog in some way or the other...or atleast they are there in the archives Confused

Nice list, but I'm assuming you mean Daydream Nation and not Teenage Riot.  That happens to me sometimes too. :P

Surprised at how indie these lists are too.  I need to spend some time exploring indie I've not checked out yet, I usually am either extremely impressed or totally apathetic, pagan god bless youtube and last.fm radio!

Nah, Sticky Fingers is a great album.  "Can't You Hear Me Knockin" has to be my favorite Stones track.

I've wanted to buy Aftermath for a while, but I always end up getting something else instead or forgetting about it.  Most of their late '60s stuff in general, but after that... eh

I simply like the songs, atmospheres, melodies, production and flow of Good News better than all of them. I've never really been a Modest Mouse fan, but something about the album really struck me. I learned to like The Moon & Antarctica, but still not as much as Good News.

And, moreitsythanyou, if you like The Fire Theft, and early Sunny Day you'll more than likely enjoy the last two SDRE albums. They are basically a combination of the two sounds. The Fire Theft almost continues the evolution of the band.

Good News is pretty good but definitely inferior to TM&A and TLCW

I've only heard Diary and LP2. I might get one of the later albums eventually. And I hope The Fire Theft is making a follow up, the first one was cool.
And Good News is not bad. I believe it very narrowly missed my list.

With the sole exception of John Zorn, everything on the site outside of Prog Related/Proto Prog is voided from these lists.

This is stupid hard now that most of the corner cases I listen to are actually in RIO/Avant. it is my loss but since I've cut out ze metal and have always ignored indie, hiphop and everything in-between I don't have much of a list - it'd be the work of a dabbler, with a Merzalbum, a jazz album I've accidentally liked, a few bad albums I've come to enjoy since I grew up with them, etc. I just won't bother since it'd be crap data.

If Residents, latter-day Kraftwerk and Slapp Happy are really prog then I am a total purist. ;P

This is just a reminder that all finalized lists will need to be PMed to me or I won't be able to count them (far too much work digging through the thread and seperating lists I have from lists I don't).

Also, Alucard, it's impossible for me to score your list unless you put them in order from best to worst.

Thanks guys, and keep them coming.  I'll tentatively shoot for the end of September to have this list finished (depending how many lists I get before then).  For now, September 15 is the due date.

I think I'm the only person who strongly prefers Good News for People Who Love Bad News over all other Modest Mouse albums. And moreitsythanyou, I saw you put SDRE's LP2 on your list. I actually like that one the least and prefer the second half of the band's existence over the first. I really liked The Fire Theft's album, though (you'll see it's on my list too). Are they ever going to release the follow-up?
