Magma - Kobaia Robert Wyatt - Rock Bottom Art Zoyd - Génération sans futur Zanov - Green Ray Igor Wakhevitch - Docteur Faust Franco Leprino - Integrati ... Disintegrati Comus - First Utterance Cos - Viva Boma Soft Machine - Third Jean-Claude Vannier - L'Enfant Assasin des Mouches Perry Leopold - Christian Lucifer Dom - Edge of Time Herbie Hancock - Crossings Miles Davis - Big Fun Eddie Henderson - Realisation Julian Priester - Love, Love Bobby Beausoleil - Lucifer Rising Hellebore - Il y a des Jours Anna Sjalv - Tredje - Tussilago Fanfara Dun - Eros Area - Caution Radiation Area CLivage - Mixtus Orbis Eskaton - 4 Visions Peter Hammill - The Silent Corner and The Empty Stage Rahmann - Rahmann Vortex - Les Cycles de Thanatos Van der Graaf Generator - Pawn Hearts Picchio dal Pozzo - self-titled Pierrot Lunaire - Gudrun Amon Duul II - Yeti Franco Battiato - Sulle Corde di Aries Tangerine Dream - Alpha Centauri Lard Free - Unnamed Can - Soundtracks Gentle Giant - Acquiring the Taste Gong - Radio Gnome Invisible Vol. 3 - You Embryo - Embryo's Rache I'll stop there. |

Yes, I understand, I like titties, beer and... prog!  I realize I expressed myself badly in English, and then I corrected the presentation message, which could be interpreted as a way to involve everyone in this thread. Now I wrote that I invite those interested, not all, to write his ranking - and, if you prefer, even less than 25 titles.

Amos Goldberg (professor of Genocide Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem): Yes, it's genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion.

Sorry but I'm way too lazy for this kind of stuff nowadays.
In fact, there's only two things in life that really interest me: 1. Titties 2. and Beer. |

In this thread, which I hope lasts very long, I invite who is interested to write his ranking of the 25 best studio albums of all time.
1) Live albums or compilations or proto-prog or prog-related albums are not allowed.
We stick to the rules of the Top Studios Of All-Time of Progarchives. 2) I Invite who is interested to meditate on their ranking, and to write the first 25 titles, according to our tastes, that change day after day, listening after listening. If it's possible, I invite you to write the first 25 albums, but, if you prefer, even less or more. [editing] 3) This ranking is intended to compare the rankings of each of us and see how they change with time, since in the future perhaps some absolute masterpiece of the progressive rock will arrive (we hope!) and impose itsef in the top 25 of our ranking. Moreover, by expanding our listenings, we can add masterpieces from the past that we don't know at present or have not yet listened well. In fact, it's clear that everyone of us at the present have not yet listened well to some masterpiece, which could, with the time, enter the Top 25 in place of another. For example, I have not yet listened in a "scientific" way much of the Canterbury Scene (Soft Machine, Gong), of Pink Floyd, of Frank Zappa, of Henry Cow, of Rush, of Art Zoyd etc. I know most of the albums of these artists, and many others, but I have not yet evaluete them. I write reviews also in order to get to a "scientific" ranking. It could also happen that some of the first titles that we now put in our first ranking, over time, we like less, and leave the ranking in a month, or a year. Anything can happen, although, I believe, each of us will have some absolute certainties on various albums or artists. 4) Finally, I invite who wants to join this thread to discuss his choices, his changes in the rankings, and make observations about the choices of others. Let's make sure this thread is not just a list, but a stimulus to confrontation. Good Top 25! Edited by jamesbaldwin - March 22 2019 at 16:29 |
