I like lots of "wrong" albums. Here's some of my favourites:

Camel: Breathless, Stationary Traveller

ELP: Emerson, Lake & Powell

Procol Harum: Grand Hotel

Moody Blues: Strange Times

Asia: Asia, Alpha, Aqua, Arena, Aura and Silent Nation

GTR: GTR

Genesis: Invisible Touch, We Can't Dance

Well those will do for now. And before you burn me as a heretic newbie I want to assure you all that I also like lots of "right" albums.

I like Rush's Test for Echo very much.

Actually, I really don't understand why people don't like it.

To Me, Test For Echo is uninspired.

It is not very progressive, beautiful, energetic or interesting. Just a bunch of OK AOR. I like the songs TFE, Driven and Resist - but I usually like every song on Rush albums. The lyrics are trite and hopelessly out of touch in a dated and middle-aged way and I find the album just dreadfully difficult to make it all the way through. It's very very soft and weak for the most part and I was embarrassed for them.

Fortunately, Vapor Trails is amazing.

I really like Vanden Plas, all of their albums; the same with Kamelot. Sometimes I get ashamed 'bout that, but, it's a guilty pleasure

I guess I prefer Riverside's "Out of Myself" over "Second Life Syndrome". Not a big differance as Rush's grace under pressure vs. Moving pictures, but still.

I totally agree, but that doesn't mean that SLS isn't a great work...

Lizard by King Crimson is one of my favorites. I do like ITCOTCK and Larks Tongues In Aspic as much though but not better!!!

SOME WORDS OF A "CLASSIC" GENESIS FAN:

Clap I'm a fan of CAS, and the alternative Album (did you heard "Run out of time?". What a song! But not included in CAS!!)

OK... GABRIEL, HACKETT, BANKS, RUTHERFOD & COLLINS ARE THE BESTS!

(I can see all those old Genesis fans trying to kill me...)

But I saw and listened to the CAS Tour (DVD LIVE IN KATOViCE -POLAND-, etc), and a lot of bootlegs. Big smile

And the band on stage was really great. RAY was really a showman (not a newbie). Mike and Tony, were perfect, as usual. Drenann is better and has more feeling than Daryl, and Nir Z did a great work. Smile

It was an attempt of modernizing the band, without forgetting the past. With some young people, and new resources (acoustic set), a new composer, etc. Clap

And Ray's voice is a mix between Gabriel, Collins, himself and something more obscure. Wink

He sings the old stuff, the Collins songs, and the new material perfectly.

Ouch I was in great disagreement with the decision to suspend the recording of the second album.

It could have been really good!! Cry

Actually, The Number Of The Beast is the album most people claim to be Maiden's best. I also don't see how liking KC's Red and Tull's Aqualung shows that you are in a minority.

Where did I mention Red?

As for Tull, most people consider TAAB to be their best.

I prefer Nursery Crymes to Selling England by the Pound.

Duke is one of my favorite Genesis albums.

I prefer aqualung to thick as a brick.

Also, deloused is much better than Frances and the majority of volta fans agree with that.

I don't think this thread is for me. Favorite Genesis is the Lamb, Yes is
CttE, Floyd is WYWH, ELP is BSS, King Crimson is Court, Camel is
Snowgoose, Dream Theater is Scenes or Images/Words, Rush is Farewell,
Jethro is Thick, etc...

I think I've become renowned for liking almost every prog and non prog album I've ever heard

For example my good people, I enjoy/love/have sexual relations with the following albums -

Tales From Topographic Oceans (Over the past 2/3 weeks this has become my second favourite Yes album after CttE)
Tormato
90125
Big Generator
...And Then There Were Three
Duke
Islands!
Lizard
In the Wake of Poseidon
Third (Heard someone call it a mess, That's not on!)
I also can appreciate the Queen albums after the first five! News of the World is one of my favourites.
The Pink Floyd records after Waters, You know what they are!
I also think Brain Salad Surgery should be in the top 5 prog albums!

Ricochet is going to sl*g me now

Great thread!!

I don't know if this is a minority, but I find ELP/Tarkus MUCH better than Brain Salad Surgery, way less showing off.

Time and a Word is one of my favourite Yes albums
