Four years later, and the only thing I would change is to remove Tangerine Dream in favour of a song by Adventure.

all the birds are leaving, But how can they know, it's time for them to go? Before the winter fire, I will still be dreaming, I have no thought of time. |

I feel the need to adjust the order of these, based on further consideration: 03: King Crimson - 21st Century Schizoid Man 04: Hawkwind - Opa Loka 05: Pink Floyd - Echoes 06: Supertramp - Rudy In the case of King Crimson - 21st Century Schizoid Man, the original position (10) was based on when I first heard the album, rather than my first exposure to the track, which I heard a number of times on the radio starting from much earlier. It was a favourite song. I got the albums Split Enz - Mental Notes and Supertramp - Crime Of The Century at the same time, but I first heard the song Split Enz - Maybe when it first came out much earlier. I loved that song (along with Supertramp - Bloody Well Right, though I was not a fan of Supertramp - Dreamer) but wasn't impressed with the rest of the album until I heard it again somewhat later. Thus, Supertramp - Rudy has to be placed later in the list. My first exposure to Hawkwind was an interview on the radio with Nik Turner. During that interview in the background was played Opa Loka (and what effective background music that was!). But it wasn't until later that I got Space Ritual and Warrior On The Edge Of Time and into Hawkwind in general. That was because of a long track I heard on the radio starting from halfway through, which was not identified at the time, which I thought might have been Hawkwind, making them a place to start looking. My search of Hawkwind didn't yield anything but a love for Hawkwind. It wasn't until later that I fortuitously discovered that the track I was seeking was a bootleg version of Pink Floyd - Echoes. I should say that positions 11-16 in the original list, corresponding to the years 1977-78, was when my musical taste changed from Heavy Metal/Hard Rock to Progressive Rock, and was an especially active period for me musically. Thus, I don't really recall the precise order for these albums. In the case of the album Stanley Clarke - Journey To Love, it took several listens for it to transform from tediously boring to very much loved. The position of the track is more closely when I got the album rather than when I fell in love with it. |

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

If your prog 'album' spans several hours, more power to you. I read what the OP said, and my album would resemble more or less an actual album (song wise and runtime) consisting of the provided criteria. Some people find it strange that I'm a so called "album listener" in general? Well.... And Ofc I'm not exclusively restricted to it lol

^If you read the original post and not just the title, it's clear what I was asking. So sorry I confused some.

Neither... Yes, you can, if you want. I just said that a prog "album" is separable from a playlist of favorite tracks, and I thought that's what the OP asked for. |

I’m going to make mine a mixture of long and short(er), as 20 long songs makes a very long album/playlist! Also old and new, and heavy and light!
It Bites - Once Around The World Devin Townsend - Kingdom Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb Pendragon - A Man Of Nomadic Traits Genesis - Cinema Show Frost* - Towerblock King’s X - We Were Born To Be Loved Nightwish - Ghost Love Score Mike Oldfield - Incantations III Anathema - Internal Landscapes Cellar Darling - Six Days Marillion - Sugar Mice IQ - Further Away Metallica - Master Of Puppets Mostly Autumn - Home Rush - Cygnus X-1 Dream Theater - Metropolis Pt 1: The Miracle And The Sleeper Leprous - The Sky Is Red Ayreon - Amazing Flight ELP - Karn Evil 9 I’d have to think very hard about how to order these!🤯😃 |

How is it trolling Cristi? All he said was that he doesn’t make or care for playlists containing various prog artists….. Edited by essexboyinwales - February 10 2024 at 04:09 |

^Sometimes I want to listen to Soft Machine's Virtually Part I-IV without playing the A-side first. Or maybe an emotional rollercoaster such as A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers is all the VdGG I can take in one go. I don't know why that is frowned upon by so many. To me it's simnilar to looking at one painting and not a full exhibition - or seeing one episode instead of binging a full season. +whenever I check out new music (which is basically every day), I rarely listen to albums in full, but primarely check if it's worth my listening time. For later.

I can't figure out if you are taking the topic too seriously or you are just trolling. I also listen to albums, but that does not mean I cannot make a list of songs I enjoy and love.

Interesting list but have to correct you on the ELP song, it's Living Sin (not ''Living In Sin''). Certainly one of their weirder songs with almost a Doors vibe, in fact a Doors song would probably go with that list nicely!

No, I designate the time for an album, usually. If interrupted, I just continue where I left off. The concept of a prog "best of " makes no sense to me, yet albums do. I see a prog LP as a mixture of long & shorter tunes (or segues) with emphasis placed on flow.
