It may not be perfect, but I am darn close to knowing all of "Lateralus" (the album)
 
Listen to it a minimum of once a week, and it is still that good.

All of De-loused in the Comatorium by The Mars Volta
"Sacred Sound" by IQ
All of "Liquid Tension Experiment 1" and "2" except for the song "Three Minute Warning" (yes, I know they're all instrumental - but that doesn't stop me from having them memorized)

And a lot of random songs from about a million other bands.
Go and listen to my music.

Puff..so many!
Albums? Close to the edge, Relayer, Hybris, The Yes album, Foxtrot, Selling England by the pound...Absolution and some more

But then there are some songs I can sing along to perfectly! Suppers ready being the best example!

Ok, it's a god damn given... Dead
Hmm let's see and I won's say Floyd or Doors or Tull I consider them a definite given too...
CCR, Zeppelin, Dylan, Caravan... a banch of songs

Blue Oyster Cult-Don't fear the ripper
Rush-Tom Sawyer
King Crimson-I talk to the wind (generally the whole album)
Kansas-Nobody's home
Rainbow-Since you've been gone
Aphrodite's Child - The four horsemen
Donovan-Lord of the dance

I think I've memorised  the classic-prog rock songs that I know! now that I come to think about it... I can sing them all in my head...Except for Kraut and Japanese and those exotic mysterious b*****ds...in general!

(does whistling the tune count???)Pig

Ok the -not in so many words- answer is I have memorised a lot of songs!!!

"Holy diver, you've been down too long in the middle of the sea!"
 
Someone else did that already. Oh well, never mind. I bought the album for Rainbow in the Dark anyway.

I admit to buying The Last In Line because of the album cover. I liked him OK back in the day, but never a devoted follower. Still, Vivian Campbell's solo on the title track is amazing.

I love "Holy Diver"

I used to sing it, it was fun

Name any Tull song...or, for some variety, I know some King Crimson here and there. Not that words are the key point of their songs...
 
Oh, and Wish You Were Here. Heh. I even worked out the guitar backing for that. I'm so cool.

I don't remember a single song really well, once I put something on and I hear the first note I know excactly what comes next, but in most if not all cases I can't remember a darn thing about any song, just by thinking about it.
 
closest to full remembering (if I sing it it will still take me 5:52 seonds, so I know it pretty well) is Bohemian Rhapody and we will rock you from Queen, not really impressive, but than again I'm getting older by the minute.
