I know I'll change my mind as soon as I hit "Post Reply", and then again when I get home, then again tomorrow...

In no particular order:

Toto "Hydra"

Yes "The Yes Album"

Pink Floyd "Animals"

Todd Rundgren "Something/Anything"

Manfred Mann's Earth Band "Chance"

Sarah McLachlan "Fumbling Towards Ecstacy"

Ambrosia "Road Island"

Marilion "Misplaced Childhood"

UK "UK"

Boz Scaggs "Silk Degrees"

 

Not all prog, and truth be told not my top 10 favorites, but all 5 stars in my book and something for every mood.  All are albums I've nevered tired of hearing.

Ermm  Hmmmm... I guess the bulk of them had better be spoken-word albums about procuring food, making clothing, and building fires, shelters, electrical sources and primitive sound systems (to play my copies of Selling England by the Pound, Close to the Edge, Who's Next and Handel's Water Music on!)

If you are sending me to a desert island, I get at least a baker's dozen albums to take with me.  Otherwise, no deal.

This is my first post - although I have loved Prog since the seventies. Living in Australia I thought it had died until I found the internet and sites like this...

Anyway, since I do not get to see bands live very often I will take a DVD player with me to the desert island so I can watch as well.

In no order:

  • Steve Hackett: Somewhere in South America
  • Flower kings: Meet the Flower kongs
  • Genesis: Belgium TV (Bootleg)
  • Jethro Tull: Living with the past
  • Dream Theatre: Live at Budokan
  • Roger Waters: In the Flesh
  • Pink Floyd: Pulse (If its ever released) 
  • Gentle Giant: On the Box
  • IQ: The 20th Aniversary Show
  • Rush in Rio
I would change any of these for a King Crimson DVD from the Starless/Red era.

Allomerus. Music with progressive intent.

2. yes- the yes album

3. yes- fragile

4. jethro tull- living in the past

5. jethro tull- benefit

6. cat stevens- mona bone jakon

8. beatles- white album

9. neil young- everybody knows this is nowhere

10. joni mitchell- ladies of the canyon.
