Prog Britannia - Album Reviews

Paul, I'm curious about if you've ever met some rudeness due to the many threads, you've started?

thanks 

That's an interesting and constructive point of view, Paul, thanks. 

I like this cover of Roger Dean, as well.

And thank you very much for your help with the rude one.  

That is how lucky one can be, or it might be a matter of some other things which I've written with I Prophesy Disaster about. 

By the way, I prefer Look at Yourself (1971), but Demons & Wizards (1972) might be my #2, even I'm rather fond of Live (1973), as well.  

But I'll give Demons & Wizards (1972) a new listen. 

Record companies back in the day designed album covers so that you could do some sort of task in different parts of the record store to keep you in the store longer. So, often you would see people combing their hair in the U section. In the M section, people would be making ham sandwiches. In the S section, people were solving partial differential equations. In the B section, people were doing geology. In the D section, people were building irrigation canals. In the Y section, people were wearing 20 pairs of pants at the same time, which makes it difficult getting off the ground if your laying down looking at records. And so on and so forth.

It's not that different than fast food restaurants making their food so salty that you feel obliged to purchase several liters of soda (or pop depending on where you're from), which in turn makes you want to buy more fries, and then even more soda. Otherwise if you're not far from a lake, you could drink that and maybe eat a fish or a boat.

   certainly nothing wrong with your fantasy, progaardvark 

It could be with Alice Cooper's School's Out (1972) or Rick Wakeman's No Earthly Connection (1976).

While the "20 of your great UK Prog classics?" thread has got pretty humorous.
