You are moving to antarctica for 1 year and can only bring 10 albums (disks) with you. Which 10 would you bring? Yes, this is a blatent attempt by a newbie to be exposed to other peoples personnal favorites. Remember these 10 will be the ONLY music you will hear for a year! Go for it and help expose me to some really great music.

5. Argus - Wishbone Ash

6. Sleepwalking _ Gerry Rafferty (an album of pure prog, in fact)

I'd like to take Red Queen by Gryphon and BJH and Renaissance Live too, but I'll stick at 10.

  2. Hybris (Anglagard): Never get tired of this one.
  3. Leftoverture (Kansas): A classic
  4. Yessongs (Yes): It's cheating, but I have  plenty Yes music here.
  5. The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway (Genesis): A different Genesis
  6. Revolutions (Magenta): A lot of symphonic Prog.
  7. Darwin! (Banco del Mutuo Soccorso): The best Italian album ever.
  8. The Return of the Manticore (ELP): Nobody said I couldn't choose a box set, there's everything I need by ELP
  9. 25 Years Anniversary Box Set (Jethro Tull): Again a lot of material by a great band.
  10. Myths and Legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table (Rick Wakeman): My favorite Wakeman album.
