Topic: Hiya Posted: September 20 2005 at 15:08 |
Hi all,
I've literally only been into Prog Rock for a very short while. A friend of mine gave me a copy of Spock's Beard - The Light and then a few days later, I bought the first Transatlantic album and I loved them both. I now have the second Transatlantic album "Bridge Across Forever" and two more Spock's Beard albums; "The Kindness of Strangers" and "Beware of Darkness." I haven't got round to listening to those yet as I'm still fixated on "The Light'. Anyhow, it's good to be here and it's great that such a place exists. If anyone has any further album recommendations, then I'm all ears.
Thanks a lot,
SV.

Hi Senor,
I don't know Spock's Beard...
by the way great that you love this site, you'll find TONS of informations! Surely you'll discover what you're searching for!
Have you ever heard of Jethro Tull, Genesis or Yes?
See you soon
Andrea

Hi Andrea,
I've heard of Jethro Tull yet so far haven't heard anything by them, which albums would you personally recommend?
I have quite a few Peter Gabriel-era Genesis albums and a couple of Phil Collins-era ones but I'm not so struck on those ones.
With regards Yes, heard of them but not heard them. Could you personally recommend some albums by them?
Hi TheMiracle,
Thanks for the fantastic welcome, I really appreciate it

Hello and welcome
I would certainly recommend some more commercial albums from Rush such as Counterparts & Test for echoe.If you like these you should check their earlier recordings....And if you'll like YES i would recommend 'The Flower Kings'

Hi Angeldust,
I love Rush!!!!! My favourite band in fact. I have everything by them except Hold Your Fire which I thought was an unbelievably awful album I got rid of it in the end, exchanged it at a local store for Dio live on DVD.
I love Counterparts though critically it got mixed reviews but what do they know anyhow? Test For Echo is not such a great album for me and Vapor Trails has very muddy production but is growing on me with every listen. Signals is my favourite album though and then Presto though it's a bit light on the guitar front. Some great drumming from Neil though and on Scars, Geddy has rarely sounded better.
I love RUSH!!!!!!!!

Yes, I agree! 
Only have to add Songs From The Wood (Jethro Tull-1977) and The Yes Album (1971).
