There's no such thing as prog. What gave you that crazy idea?

Depending on how new you are you might want to go here: https://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=130632

Also, have you tried the album In The Wake Of Poseidon also by King Crimson? It's very similar. 

Also, no one mentioned Yes yet which I find a bit odd. Close To The Edge is usually considered to be their ultimate prog album (and one of the very best in the entire genre). I also suggest some early Pink Floyd being that you like Nektar. You should listen to the Meddle album and especially Echoes.

I'd say just try the big ones. Genesis, ELP, Pink Floyd, Camel, etc, etc. Maybe throw in some Zappa, prog metal or more modern stuff if you're feeling more adventurous. As long as you keep trying new stuff, you'll find more that you'll like I'm sure.

If you like In the Court, you'll probably like their second album, In the Wake of Poseidon. Side 1 is often called a copy of side 1 of Court. It's very similar, and close in quality.

Fair enough, but your tastes will have to expand somewhat if you're going to continue to enjoy progressive art rock.   Try Renaissance, early Genesis, Bo Hansson, the Enid, Sebastian Hardie, maybe UK.

Best of luck in your journey ~

I am quite new to prog and I was looking to see if anyone had any recommendations. The two albums I have listened to and really like are "In the Court of the Crimson King" by King Crimson and "Journey to the Centre of the Eye" by Nektar. I tried listening to other albums by King Crimson and Nektar, but I didn't like any of the songs (with two exceptions from "red" by King Crimson). 

Does anyone know and songs that are similar to those two albums? If it helps, I like all the songs in those two albums.
