My favourite 10 albums from the all-time top 100 - Progressive Rock Music Forum

Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon

Genesis - Selling England by the Pound

Mike Oldfield - Ommadawn

Definitely Dark Side of the Moon has been the most important of these album to me. Next would be Selling England by the Pound, then Ommadawn, then Thick as a Brick, then Foxtrot or A Trick of the Tail. The magic of Dream Theater, IQ and Marillion has largely escaped me, although I am open to what you think are their most beautiful songs.

Duos for fave acts

Amazingly, we chose the same three albums in the same order out of ten possible choices. What are the odds on that, given how diverse our musical tastes are. Smile

I've gone for TaaB, SEbtP & DSotM

the only album on this list I'm not fussed about is the Marillion tbh

pleasantly surprised to see no Ayreon, however!

It’s verging on criminal that The Human Equation is not in the top 100……

Doesn't really surprise me in this case. We have major overlaps in tastes and interest despite our big differences in me being very into music you actively dislike and you being very into music that I dislike. You're much friendlier to certain kind of melodic rock and melodic metal than I am (AOR, Neo-Prog atc.), and I'm much friendlier to a lot of experimental, dissonant, atmospheric and melancholic music than you. I think we like much more of the same music than myself and the topic starter do.

Foxtrot, SEbtP, and I guess Ommadawn a bit more than TDSotM

quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond
