This list is based only on the 10 you specified.  I would have to rate both Focus & Supertramp WAY down my own list.

1 - Yes - CTTE (their best effort)

2 - Genesis - Foxtrot (I rate Duke higher)

3 - Jethro Tull - Thick As A Brick (their best effort)

4 - Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells (his best, although Islands & Discovery were both excellent)

5 - King Crimson - Court of the Crimson King (their best effort)

6 - ELP - Brain Salad Surgery (Tarkus is also worth mentioning)

7 - Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon (lets not forget The Wall)

8 - Gentle Giant - Octopus

9 - Focus - Moving Waves

10 - Supertramp - Crime of the Century (never cared for them)

Ugh, errr...can a true progger only have half of those records as I do?

I just don't feel like putting my hard-earned money on BSS, Tubular Bells, Moving Waves and (defnitely not) The Crime of the Century -though at least I have finally decided to get myself ITCOTCK asap!

Well, for what it's worth, here are the five I do have in order from fav to least fave...

  1. Yes - CTTE (it reigns supreme at the top)
  2. Jethro Tull - TAAB (a clear runner-up)
  3. Pink Floyd -DSOTM (could be #4 if you asked me tomorrow...)
  4. Gentle Giant - Octobus (could be #3 if you asked me tomorrow...)
  5. Genesis - Foxtrot (FAR, far below the other four )
I was made to love magic

That is perhaps the most ABSURD rating I've seen in my entire life. WTF ?

Remember it is only my own personal subjective oppinion, just like everybody else's is. We can't all like the same bands/artists as each other!



Yes, sure of course.. But I just found it absurd that a prog fan find In the Court of the Crimson King, Octopus, Foxtrot and Thick as a Brick, which generally amongst prog fans are considered some of the ultimate masterpieces in rock history, rather mediocre ... After all, you rated Close to the Edge and Brain Salad Surgery as masterpieces.. I was just really really surprised
