^ I just wish he'd made more albums like that TBH, and concentrated on quality over quantity.

I hardly dare to think how everything will look in 50 years, if to see it from the perspective of today. The changes will very probably be much much larger than the last 50 years, and in what direction?

I agree but I'm quite fond of No Earthly Connection, as well. Edited by David_D - February 02 2022 at 06:52 |

I decided to omit it on the grounds that it's not in the PA top 250 although it does have a strong rating of 4.10 and probably isn't far outside. (I realise you didn't specify the rules of the thread so I made my own) Rick's studio albums are generally under appreciated it seems

My rule, written in the OP, is "by "great classics" I mean albums that are very high rated by really many people", and that is thought as making it possible to include RYM ratings - it's not just "PA great classics", I've had in mind. This rule is of course not particularly precise, and that is because I've thought, it is fine to leave good possibilities for one's own decisions concerning what to include or not. About "under appreciated", I'd say that it's a subjective evalution, richardh, and I think that it may be a good question to concider why Wakeman isn't higher rated than it's the case - even he was one of my teenage idols, and maybe your's as well.

I've restricted myself to albums before 1980. Also, I've grouped albums by the same artist together. Thus, the order doesn't fully match my order of preference. 01: Van der Graaf Generator - Pawn Hearts 02: Van der Graaf Generator - H To He, Who Am The Only One 03: Van der Graaf Generator - The Quiet Zone / The Pleasure Dome 04: Van der Graaf Generator - The Least We Can Do Is Wave To Each Other 05: Peter Hammill - pH7 06: Yes - Close To The Edge 07: Yes - Fragile 08: Bill Bruford - Bruford: One Of A Kind 09: Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Tarkus 10: Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Brain Salad Surgery 11: Hawkwind - Warrior On The Edge Of Time 12: Nektar - Journey To The Centre Of The Eye 13: Supertramp - Crime Of The Century 14: Jethro Tull - Thick As A Brick 15: Genesis - Nursery Cryme 16: Genesis - Foxtrot 17: Pink Floyd - Animals 18: Pink Floyd - The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn 19: The Alan Parsons Project - I Robot 20: Camel - Mirage |

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

I can tell you, Nogbad, that I keep on working but it's certainly a challenge - even not as much as the big Western culture.  I'm yet far from to decide whether I want to do this album a part of my rather small, exclusive collection, but it would be a very good supplement to my other RIO/Avant and Zeuhl albums.

Mea culpa … Either I didn’t see the UK part, or I did … but then forgot due to short term memory loss. Call it the fog of covid. These are in no particular order. I forgot to include Kate Bush. ELP - Brain Salad Surgery ELP - Tarkus Yes - The Yes Album Yes - Fragile Yes - Close to the Edge Yes - 90125 Camel - The Snow Goose Genesis - A Trick of the Tail Genesis - Selling England by the Pound Pink Floyd - The Piper at the Gates of Dawn Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here UK - UK Allan Holdsworth - IOU Allan Holdsworth - Metal Fatigue The Alan Parsons Project - The Turn of a Friendly Card The Alan Parsons Project - Eye in the Sky Kate Bush - The Hounds of Love King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King King Crimson - Discipline Jethro Tull - Songs from the Wood I would love to include other albums: Jethro Tull - Minstrel in the Gallery Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick Jethro Tull - Aqualung Jethro Tull - Heavy Horses Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon Pink Floyd - The Wall Genesis - Foxtrot Genesis - The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway Genesis - Nursery Cryme Genesis - ABACAB King Crimson - Red King Crimson - Three of a Perfect Pair And yes, I am a big fan of Canadian rock and Prog: Rush, Triumph, Saga, Red Rider, Aldo Nova, etc. Thanks for pointing out the error Cristi. At least I didn’t list all the albums from the band UK and struggle to come up with 20.  I’m heading out for a few months. You all take care! Edited by Jaketejas - February 13 2022 at 08:28 |
