I remember once, one summer weekend, I’d spent the whole night up and it was dawn, with the sun just about to rise. I was leaning on the window sill of my 3rd floor appartment looking up at the soft, pink, cotton-candy clouds in the sky while “Wind and Wuthering” was playing gently in the background. It’s then I realized how utterly aerial the music of Genesis was.

 

Although I don’t consider myself a religious person, I was literally in a state of grace for the duration of the album, completely engrossed in this visual/aural experience and unwilling to move from my spot for fear of breaking the magic.

I swear I hadn't been drinking or smoking funny cigarettes...

King Crimson Lizard completly blew me away and it made me realize how close Jazz Fusion and Prog Rock are to each other.Salem Hill The Robbery of Murder changed me with the extreme saddness I felt from that disk.Pink Floyd Wish You Where Here after a few joints in 1976 changed me for ever in a good way.

I love both for different reason... Per Un Amico is beauty,  a walk through the Tuscan countryside with your love by your side..  Ys... is horror,  the living nightmare you endure before finally finding beauty in life.

Nothing Cry

I'm too poor to buy stuff and I rarely (if ever) download. I can wait though. Makes the experience of listening to an album so much more enjoyable.

I lurked at this site for about a year and a half before I joined...  I was browsing through the mp3's which you were able to download.  I heard L'Isola di Niente in the samples and was BLOWN away.  It (the album) was my first PFM purchase... great great album.. their first storia di un minuto is often considered my many  to be as good.. or even better than Per Un Amico. In my humble opinion.. get both hahahha.  They are both great albums. I tend to favor L'isola di Niente.. but my tastes tend to be a bit at odds at times with the 'norm'  LOL

VdGG - Still Life

i've had amazing experiences with this album.. the lyrics are absolutely brilliant, and really make you think about the frailty and ambiguity of life.. and how our inevitable death essentially gives life meaning. Childlike Faith in Childhoods End Big%20smile

For me, the quintessential is 'Going for the One' by Yes (1977).  Rick Wakeman re-joined the group after being gone since 'Topographic,' and the magic was definitely re-captured.  While a few songs had definite pop appeal (title-song, Parallels, Wondrous Stories), the album as a whole speaks to a mature Yes - in sound, in lyric, in production-quality.  A 'Yes' that would perhaps be unmatched by anything ever done later (Tormato was disappointing, and - as the 1970s - waned, the Yes line-up [and song quality] would change immensely).  With the forever-classic song "Awaken" as the finish, GFTO stands out as a masterful album from a prog band at its ultimate prime...

Pain of Salvation's "Remedy Lane" was the most emotional album I ever bought. So many sentiments on the album, I was in tears during a few songs actually. Same deal with Peter Gabriel's "So" and for non-prog, Yoshiki's "Eternal Melody II".
