Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)

1. Hemispheres
2. Moving Pictures
3. A Farewell to Kings
4. Permanent Waves
5. A Show of Hands (believe it or not!)

The first four in my favorites list are from the classic 70's era. A Show of Hands sums up the 80's era, which is the one I grew up with.

Nice! I've seen many of their tours over the past 35yrs, I saw the Show of Hands tour in Maryland. That is one of my fav live albums. I also have the VHS tape of that show......

I have that one too! it's nice that it has a different setlist. The good thing is that there's La Villa Strangiato, YYZ, and In the Mood. The bad thing is that there's only half of The Rhythm Method and nothing from Signals.

I only saw them once, on the Time Machine tour, and had to travel all the way from Guatemala to San Antonio, TX, but I can assure you, it was one of the happiest days of my life! Smile

That's great.......At least you got to see them live, we saw Time Machine tour twice once in San Francisco and in Vancouver WA, that was an excellent tour.

Caress is great IMO, except for I'm Going Bald, which is like a big boil in the middle of a (otherwise pretty) face.

4) Permanent Waves
5) Signals

Number 5 is tough. Grace Under Pressure and Power Windows were under consideration. Fan of both those albums. First four have been locked in those positions for many years now.

possibly the greatest 5 album run of all time. Signals is a great album and probably an album I like more than the stuff before Hemispheres. 2112 is undoubtedly classic but just now seems very dated and hasn't aged well IMO.

I don't know. It's rather like a palate cleanser for the rest of the album. 

The first time I spun CoS the only three songs I liked were the first three on the album. Then I got to The Necromancer and side two and I thought, what in the hell is this?? Confused Confused Dead

Of course now my favorites are Necromancer and Fountain of Lamneth
