David Bowie - Hunky Dory - Ziggy Stardust

The Doors - Morrison Hotel

The Smiths - Strangeways, Here we Come - Hatful of Hollow

Marilyn Manson - Antichrist Superstar (a guilty pleasure if ever there was one)

Delerium - Silence remix (It's just a song, but I don't know what album it's off of... I burned it! (gasp!))

I'm a big Al Stewart fan myself and I think "Time Passages" and "24 Carrots" are his best. "Last Days Of The Century" is a very strange choice,Richardh.

Fun to see a few Al Steward recs :D

Looks like Love is in the air too, so I'll have to chek 'em out.

Lots of great music here, though I was not asking for pop records, just prog that usually doesn't fit under the "prog rock" label.
