DSOTM works as a blend of prog,rock,soul and electronic music.It isn't 100% prog by any means.
The others are all prog albums but funnily enough not as good

Silly poll. DSOTM is 100% pure prog.
I don't like Yes, so my vote goes to them.

Going for the one = PROG-POP
Dark side of the moon = Easy listening prog
Aqualung = .....prog
The Lamb = pure prog

My vote goes to 'The Lamb....' Silly story and the second half is just experimentation and bores the sh*t out of me

Aqualung. The rest is really, really prog, I think. |
Yeah, I agree. What isn't prog about the rest of those albums, dude? Those are almost the most staple prog albums!

DSOTM may not be Prog, but it still beats the sh*t out of any other "prog" album.

Ah, wonderful, one of my favourite
private prog musings is pondering how on earth DSOTM became
to be seen as a progressive rock album -and surprisingly often the
most essential one a that! It came out in 1973 when prog already
had a strong precense in the world of popular music so it wasn't
exactly influencial in a prog-sense, was it? Of course, it might
have acted as a gentle gateway for many people into the world of
prog and thus add to prog's popularity. In either case, I
would be very interested to read people's reasons for
thinking that DSOTM is prog so go ahead and try to swaye me! 
Must be that time signature change during Money. How radical. 
Don't get me wrong, I love most of the tunes, I really do, but
they do have more in common with classic rock than anything else. I
never list any of my PF albums as part of my prog collection. The band experimented,
true, but that does not prog make in my mind. After all, The Beatles
experimented, as well, and I don't see them listed in the
archives.
As for the rest of the poll nominees, well, Aqualung is quite a good choice, too, not too proggy as far as I can tell.
Going For The One has more than enough prog elements, no question about that.
Can't comment on Lamb as *gulp* I've yet to hear it...  |
anything I could have said, you said. Needless to say, I agree 100%.
The Lamb, definitely prog, though not a Genesis favorite.

DSOTM. Very overrated, and not very prog.

I dont like you mate I have never seen a more bias person in my whole life. I understand you like genesis but for gods sake work it out the lamb is not PURE PROG thats the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Look at the results to the poll and you'll see that Im not the only one that thinks so.

F*ck, man! He was just giving his opinion! Reread your post, and you'll find that you come off as a dismissive dick.

I think there is something wrong with this thread.
Maybe the correct title for the topic could be: Most Prog Album

Even though it's one of my fatoritist albums of all time, Aqualung reminds me of Zeppelin more than any prog band. But they totally progified themselves the following year.

Too different question!  I must admit, that it's difficult to me contemplate albums in a such analystic view. "Aqualung" pleases me most of them... Isn't it a bit prog album though, as there's a mad bearded man playing flute on each tracks?

Hey Fender, mine was nothing but a comment to have a little fun, there´s not such thing as "Easy listening prog" anyway.
Stonebeard, thanks.
Now, The poll´s results can´t be right. Yesterday, "Dark side" had 12 votes while "The Lamb" had only 2, being therefore the most progressive of them. Statistics usually don´t work the way they have in thi poll.
Yet, it doesn´t matter, "In the cage" has 20 times more prog than all "Dark side" songs together......Or wait, "In the run" is very experimental, complex, diverse, creative and original....Mhh, "Dark side" is progger yeah¡¡. I´m fully convinced now.

THis is a silly thread . How is the lamb winning ?
Prog theme , prog playing , prog lyrics , prog band ( at that time )
It is surely 80% prog . The exceptions would be
Cuckoo Cucoon ( prog elements ) , In the Rapids and It.
what about fly on a windshield / broadway melody , In the Cage , Back in New york City
If TLLDOB isn't proggy enough for you you really need to take your medication

They are all prog, but Dark Side is probably closest to the mainstream.
