CttE may be ranked #1 on this site, but I wonder how many of us consider it the best prog album. I know I did for 20 years; now it’s a close #2 to Relayer.

I have been listening to prog for shorter than 20 years and Close to the Edge has emerged as the clear favorite out of all of the prog I have listened to. Relayer wouldn't even make my top 10, but it's still a really great album.

I agree. When I rate my top 25 albums of all time, this always gets a place. A perfect album for me. Upbeat superbly crafted songs, stellar vocals (both Rob and Adrian) their harmonies kick ass, incredible musicianship, and the recording sounds killer.

It might be easier for me to name my favourite albums in each individual genre of music because I have SO MANY favourites to choose from. Smile

I was thinking this: my favorite sports team might not be the best in their league. Something like that. But I’ve never understood you mortals.

Great album, also dig "Bellybutton". As for #1's it is always changing, for me, and with so much excellent current music to choose from I can't commit.

The #1 spot shifts often depending on mood. 

For now:

Prog (symphonic): Solaris - Marsbéli Krónikák
--I find myself humming the melodies of this one for many weeks after a listen
Prog (non-symphonic): Koenjihyakkei - Angherr Shisspa
Non-prog: Grandaddy - The Sophtware Slump
