MDK, like most other Magma material, is far better in a live setting.

Still haven't checked out O.Rang but something tells me that I'm going to.

I prefer both Stand Up and A Passion Play to Thick As A Brick.
So beats anything Gabriel released in the 70s as a solo artist.

Aaaah, I'm not alone.
Never understood why this is considered as their best album and as a neo-prog gem.

Here are my 2 cents:

- "Selling England..." is my least fave from the Genesis' Gabriel years
- "Brain Salad Surgery" is my least fave from ELP's first period
- My second fave Hawkwind studio album from the 80's is the futuristic "The Xenon Codex"
- I find Iron Maiden's "Powerslave" only half-powerful, my least fave from the 80's
- I find Tangerine Dream's lives Logos and Pergamon a little overrated

I think I'd put Fugazi at the top then Clutching, Script and last Misplaced Childhood.

This is a pretty good post, so let's begin:
-> Atom Heart Mother it's the biggest masterpiece from Pink Floyd, and my prefered music from PF is Alan's Psychadelic Breakfast.
->For me, PF's A Saurceful of Secrets it's the first Prog album ever, Celestial Voices part it's like the rupture from Psychodelic and the beginning of Prog.
->I can't stand Rush, not because the Hard-Prog style, but the Lee's Vocal are terrible!
->Italian Classic Scene is MILES better than the English Classic Scene, Carnascialia only album it's more beautiful and diverse than anything that Yes has made.
->Os Mutantes is the worst prog band from Brazil.
->Gong is the best Cantebury Scene band, i can't stand Soft Machine 3.

Well, in the moment this is what i feel Tongue

Even without vocals I'd still say that Caravan sounds particularly Canterburian with that organ of Sinclair's....but yes instrumental Canterbury is more or less jazz rock/fusion in essence.

I thought I was alone regarding Gabriel. Almost everyone seems to favour Melt.

The first three that come to mind...

Peter Gabriel really came into his own as an artist after he left Genesis.

I like Rush's '80s and '90s albums much better than their "proggier" Seventies stuff.

I have never managed to get into Foxtrot, and "Supper's Ready" bores me to tears.

And You and I is by far the best thing on Close to the Edge.
Being a huuuuge fan of psych and Krautrock I should adore Guru Guru's debut UFO...but I really don't. Too much acid in the studio (is that even possible? Oh yes).
The best Opeth album is the debut Orchid.
I have a hard time stomaching Gabriels overemotional singing on The Musical Box (and I'm a big fan).

Ok, after thinking a bit I'll go with this one first.....

My favorite Rush album is their first one. 

No pompous preachy lyrics.  No Geddy's faltering voice.  Just pure Alex going nuts.  Bring it.

Followed closely by Fly By Night and Caress.

I like "The Incident". 

I like "Under Wraps". 

"Presence" and "LZ3" are the best Zeppelin albums.
