Im afraid to say I've never heard of any of them. They were all 69-71? That's
a lot of unheard masterpieces for 3 years.
One likes to believe
In the freedom of music
But glittering prizes
And endless Compromises
Shatter the illusion
Of integrity

Ho l'enciclopedia del rock (pubblicata nel del 1976) di Nic Logan e Bob Woffinden, controlleṛ meglio stasera.

Speravo mi citassi anche qualche oscura chicca del prog italiano...Arzachel, Affinity & Co. mi pare siano tutti inglesi.

Mhh... seems like they were selling out the whole Akarma catalogue
in your hometown...
Seriously, I only have 7 of these albums and I have heard very little
of the others. I think I'll choose Spring. (what about Cressida,
Beggar's Opera, Gnidrolog, Rare Bird...?)

Yes, I'll have to give their cd a few more spins as soon as I've
finished with my recent purchases (Rush, Eloy, Anekdoten, Stivell...)

Perhaps more a case of "unknown" than "forgotten"....

I voted for Fantasy and Fruupp albums. Not masterpieces but very good symphonic prog albums. By the way, Fruupp did release 4 albums, all of them very close in style and very even. For those who don't know, they sound a bit like early Genesis which would be folkier and without mellotron (they use a Solina string ensemble I think).

Can't say I'm lucky enough to have heard all these, but of the ones I know, Comus - First Utterance just barely beats out the Spring album. Both GREAT.

Is Artcane - Odyssee "forgotten" enough to consider? NOBODY talks about this album, and it's one of my favorites ever, obscure or otherwise.

...it is real...it is Rael...

Spring's only album belongs more to the pop-progressive than to
the prog rock field, so I was slightly disappointed when I first
listened to it, then it grew on me. If I had heard more from Comus
maybe they would have been my choice for this poll. Can't find them
in the shops, sh*t!
