From the list my vote goes to KC - Red. Absolutely incredible record, sums up what prog is meant to be! I live CTTE though, another devastatingly good record. ------------- "...misty halos made visible by the spectral illumination of moonshine." |

I voted for Pawn Hearts since it had least votes, but in my opinion it was equal to CTTE and Red. Where is Dark Side Of The Moon, btw? ------------- yet you still have time! |

There is no such thing. What is the best painting ever? Book? Food? Car? Does "best" = "popular," or "your favourite?" These matters are purely subjective -- no two people share the exact same taste. There are many great prog albums in my collection that are more or less equal in quality, but each is different, and "best" for different times and moods. I find the whole concept silly and rather childish, sorry. ------------- "And, has thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!'

C'mon Peter. You know the best prog lp is Pawn Hearts...just admit it. |

Well, three of those named are "best," at different times, for me. Prawn Farts (tiny bubbles!) is superb, agreed, but "best" played when my wife is out.... ------------- "And, has thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!' He chortled in his joy. |

Red (again), then i would say "Pawn Hearts" by VdGG, they're both very dark, bizarre prog albums, love 'em... ------------- I'm a Man-Owl-Fish. Creator-Observer-Muse. |

Yeah, a decent amount of albums are missing but from the ones given Id
have to chose Close to the Edge (Foxtrot right behind it.) ------------- One likes to believe In the freedom of music But glittering prizes And endless Compromises Shatter the illusion Of integrity |

| I would replace 'Brain Salas Surgery' instead of 'Foxtrot' in your list and then I might vote! |

| How subjective music is! I miss bands like Rush (Moving pictures), ELP (Trilogy), Pink Floyd (The wall), Gentle Giant (In a glasshouse) and Marillion (A script for a jester's tear) .... But from your list I pick up Foxtrot (like Tony Banks) as my favorite progrock album from Genesis because Genesis is my favorite progrock band. |

From the list, Foxtrot of course, because it's the only one from my top 10 of all time, which is:
1 & 2 Pink Floyd: Wish You Were Here / Marillion: Misplaced Childhood (impossible to decide) 3 & 4 Pink Floyd: Dark Side of the Moon / Genesis: Selling England by the Pound (couldn't decide either) 5 Marillion: Fugazi 6 Marillion: Marbles 7 Jethro Tull: Songs from the Wood 8 Pink Floyd: Meddle 9 Jethro Tull: Heavy Horses 10 Genesis: Foxtrot If live albums could be counted, then La Gazza Ladra by Marillion, Seconds Out & Live - The Way We Walk: Volume Two - The Longs by Genesis and Pulse by Pink Floyd would surely be on my top 10. ------------- "Make tea, not love" |

from the list i choose red, but my favourite album is selling england by the pound, i think that this list is very incomplete, and some albums should'nt be there ------------- a plague of lighthouse keepers |

That list is all sorts of incomplete, dude. No Selling England By the Pound. No Gentle Giant and further more... NO PINK FLOYD!!! ... come on, man... |

I agree with Ghost Rider as well, but about the 'missing' albums Moving Pictures - Is is Prog, or AOR? hmmm, think Rush was moving away from prog at that point Octopus, Thick as a Brick - DSOTM - one of those who just doen't see it as a prog album. A nice concept album, with some interesting sound-effects. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

Well, that list misses a lot of good stuff... Gentle Giant - Three Friends Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here Jethro Tull - Thick as a brick |
