Lizard by King Crimson is one of my favorites.  I do like ITCOTCK and Larks Tongues In Aspic as much though but not better!!!

I totally agree, but that doesn't mean that SLS isn't a great work...

I really like Vanden Plas, all of their albums; the same with Kamelot. Sometimes I get ashamed 'bout that, but, it's a guilty pleasure

To Me, Test For Echo is uninspired.

It is not very progressive, beautiful, energetic or interesting. Just a bunch of OK AOR. I like the songs TFE, Driven and Resist - but I usually like every song on Rush albums. The lyrics are trite and hopelessly out of touch in a dated and middle-aged way and I find the album just dreadfully difficult to make it all the way through. It's very very soft and weak for the most part and I was embarrassed for them.

 

Fortunately, Vapor Trails is amazing.

I like lots of "wrong" albums. Here's some of my favourites:

Camel: Breathless, Stationary Traveller

ELP: Emerson, Lake & Powell

Procol Harum: Grand Hotel

Moody Blues: Strange Times

Asia: Asia, Alpha, Aqua, Arena, Aura and Silent Nation

GTR: GTR

Genesis: Invisible Touch, We Can't Dance

 

Well those will do for now. And before you burn me as a heretic newbie I want to assure you all that I also like lots of "right" albums.

Did you see the DVD of YES in PHILADELPHIA?. Circus of Heaven is the song with the best sound in the mix. It's magical... 

    I'm a big fan of Circus of heaven. i had a lot of fun translating it to my language. Man, how beautiful! How wish I was in that Circus of Heaven someday, watching the parade......BTW I love Circ du Solei, the closest thing on Earth....and their music sounds progressive for me...what do you think?
I like Tormato, so shoot me! Every person in the world can't think the same.

My favorite Pink Floyd album is...(gasp).. RELICS!

Not kidding, there's something in that collection that I find mesmerizing and addictive,..and magic...

Maybe it's because Syd Barret's spirit is scattered all over the place and there's a lot of Rick Wright too.  Through the years I've been listening so much Waters' and Gilmour's stuff that I needed a change.  Relics did it for me, and I wish there were more material from those sesions available. (recommendations?)

Actually, The Number Of The Beast is the album most people claim to be Maiden's best. I also don't see how liking KC's Red and Tull's Aqualung shows that you are in a minority.

  • I'm a rare case of a huge fan of Ummagumma. It's my favorite PF album, along with Saucerful, Meddle, and AHM. And I think that DSOTM is very overrated and I hate The Wall(see my reviews for both...)
  • My favorite Tull album is not TAAB and not Passion Play(which i don't like much), but Aqualung followed by Benefit.
  • My favorite Marillion album is CaS, and not Script or MC.
  • I don't like SEBTP as much as NC and Foxtrot
  • My favorite LZ album is How The West Was Won because IMO it's superior to any individual studio album
  • My favorite Iron Maiden album is Number Of The Beast, not Powerslave, Seventh Son or Brave New World.




 

I second those four motions times infinity.  Especially the first. Oh man, all kinds of love for you for your appreciation of Ummagumma...

Yeah, it's a pretty awesome album.  The bass tone is amazing.

Pink Floyd----The Divison Bell

Dream Theater----When Dream and Day Unite

Queen----Sheer Heart Attack

Jethro Tull----Broadsword and the Beast





All excellent albums that earn 5-star ratings in my book.
