Arena - Double Vision Arena - Songs From the Lions Cage Arena - Immortal? Arena - The Visitor Kate Bush - The Kick Inside Kate Bush - Lionheart Kate Bush - Never For Ever Cardiacs - Heaven Born & Ever Bright Cardiacs - Songs For Ships And Irons Cardiacs - The Seaside |

Nice! I tried so many times over so many years with Lark's Tongues, I just could not get into it at all. I had the CD once upon a time. I think I might have another bash at it now after the 25 plus years since I last heard it. :)

Writing on this site I just need to make reviews and put the votes on the albums in order to have my ranking, in Scaruffi style. I've just started this work, so far I've put the votes on all the Beatles, Family, Gentle Giant albums, and I'm finishing King Crimson, Le Orme and Roxy Music albums. I have not yet begun that of Van der Graaf and Peter Hammill, which are among my favorites. Rock Bottom by Wyatt is one of my highest rated albums. So, for now, my work is in progress. Certainly the highest marks I think will be those of the twentieth century albums. Anyway, 1 Beatles - Abbey Road 2 Beatles - Sgt Pepper 3 Doors - The Doors 4 Van der Graaf - Pawn Hearts 5 Wyatt - Rock Bottom 6 King Crimson - In The Court of... 7 Hammill - The Silent Corner 8 Beatles - White Album 9 Hammill - Chameleon 10 Buckley - Starsailor *Consorzio Suonatori Indipendenti - Linea Gotica *Springsteen - Born To Run ------------- Amos Goldberg (professor of Genocide Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem): Yes, it's genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion. |

King Crimson - "Red" King Crimson - "Thrak" Yes - "Close to the Edge" Rush - "A Farewell to Kings" Led Zeppelin - "Physical Graffiti" Ambrosia - "Ambrosia" Supertramp - "Crime of the Century" Frank Zappa - "'Hot Rats" Jethro Tull - "Thick as a Brick" Pink Floyd - "Dark Side of the Moon" Not in any order. And that's only a partial list of only the classics from around the 70s. And that is only part of my top ten because there are so many more than ten albums in my top ten. There are many, many ties. So consider this my edited top 10 for the sake of only naming 10. That's why making a top 10 list is impossible for me. ------------- https://ibb.co/8x0xjR0" rel="nofollow">  |

King Crimson, Jethro Tull, Genesis, Yes, ELP, Pink Floyd, Rennaisance, Gentle Giant, PFM, Osiris, Mike Keneally, Asia Minor, OVNI, etc. So many album from each band that I enjoy greatly. |

I probably should have used the other name for the album (thought about it at the time, but went with the name of my copy). It's a great album. I like all of the Egisto Macchi albums that I have -- Voix is another personal favourite of mine of his, but then I'm a sucker for choral-type music like this: As for my earlier list, I was kind of amazed several minutes after posting it, what with my love of Art Zoyd, that I didn't think of Génération sans futur. Those were the first ten albums that came to my mind. Had I done it half an hour later, the choices might have been quite different. I think right now my Morricone choice would be Maddalena (one of his that I return to the most). Docteur Faust is one of those albums that I am quite sure would have come to mind an hour, two hours, and a week later. Rock Bottom is one that I would have expected to come to mind immediately, but I was true to the first ten to come to mind. |

Not really in order (except perhaps for the first 2), and not necessarily 10... I'll just list the ones I think more special, even if I'll surely be missing some albums I really love too: - Wish you were Here by Pink Floyd. - Animals by Pink Floyd. - Fragile by Yes. - Close to the Edge by Yes. - The Myths and Legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, by Rick Wakeman. - Ommadawn by Mike Oldfield. - And I guess Hybrys by Anglagard should make the cut too. Perhaps The Whilrwind by Transatlantic too... and after that, well, there's many I do love but wouldn't know how to rank them... |

King Crimson - Lark's Tongues in Aspic 16. Jethro Tull - Aqualung 17. Frank Zappa & MOI - One Size Fits All 18. Henry Kaiser - Lemon Fish Tweezer 19. Focus - Focus III 20. Univers Zero - Heresie Still not too many slots for a whole lot additional good stuff. I would probably do this differently on another occasion. ------------- A curse upon the heads of those who seek their fortunes in a lie.

Wow, if you think that's not prog you should check out the prog songs by non prog artists list in the Non prog section on this site. Actually, here's a link right here. http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=74557 A lot of those aren't really prog either and I probably have a more strict definition than you do.;)

Hi, I wish I could make up my mind ... for me, there is so much stuff that I love that it is really difficult for me to say that I love this one better than that one. And that these are my top ... I just remembered, I can't do top's anything at all ... it always ends up lacking something or other! ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about!

It's basically impossible for me to make a Top 10 of Prog albums. The only way is to seriously consider the desert island scenario. If REALLY I was to take only 10 albums to a desert island until I would be rescued who knows when (or, say, to prison for a long time), which 10 would I pick? For one thing I would surely consider double albums since they carry the double of music time (or some modern albums which run for 1 hour or even more), but that does not necessarily mean they are the best. And I would like to have some variation, so probably one or max 2 albums from different bands. Perhaps: Genesis - The Lamb Yes - YesSongs ELP - Trilogy PF - Pulse KC - Red Oldfield - Exposed Neal Morse - Sola Scriptura Rush - Exit Stage Left Marillion - The Thieving Magpie Jethro - Thick as a Brick but I hope I never find myself in the real situation of having to pick 10 albums for a desert island, that would kill half of me... |

I meant to edit mine to add honorable mentions but I'll just post them now. Here's six honorable mentions(ones that would often wind up in my top ten lists in the past but didn't make the cut this time): Camel - Dust and dreams (some say it's too mellow but I like it a lot) Ozric Tentacles - Jurassic Shift Yes - Close to the Edge Rick Wakeman - Myths and legends of King Arthur Pink Floyd - Atom Heart Mother Peter Gabriel - same (first album with the car)

It has short tracks but not really 'pop' like say Madonna (although I like some Madonna occasionally).I could probably have thrown in The Stranglers who were as 'progressive' as anything in 1977 IMO. Pop is anything that sells.

I will try to name other albums than Friede. like her in no specific order: studio albums: "Rubycon" by Tangerine Dream "Godbluff" by Van der Graaf Generator "Mëkanïk Dëstruktïẁ Kömmandöh" by Magma "Photo Musik" by Christian Boulé "Clearlight Symphony" by Clearlight "You" by Gong "Phallus Dei" by Amon Düül 2 "Känguru" by Guru Guru "Mirage" by Klaus Schulze "Nursery Cryme" by Genesis * * this means our self-created special edition of "Nursery Cryme", which includes the tracks "Happy the Man" and
"Twilight Alehouse" which were recorded during the sessions for the
album but for some reason did not make it there. and yes, I love those
short songs too and don't consider them to be pop songs at all. "short
and simple" does in my opinion by no means equal "pop". and yes, I know
that most people think "Twilight Alehouse" was recorded during the
"Foxtrot" sessions, but this is in my opinion impossible because the
sound of the song is not the sound of "Foxtrot" but the sound of
"Nursery Cryme". "Live Chronicles" by Hawkwind "The Margin +" by Peter Hammill "Real Time" by Van der Graaf Generator "Gong est mort - Vive Gong" by Gong "Live in Amsterdam 1980" by Flairck "Made in Japan" by Deep Purple "Live Dates" by Wishbone Ash "Encore" by Tangerine Dream "Roxy and Elsewhere" by Frank Zappa "Lotos" by Santana -------------  A shot of me as High Priestess of Gaia during our fall festival.

I'll limit myself to one album per band. Here goes nothing: Yes - Tales from Topographic Oceans Jethro Tull - A Passion Play Genesis - The Lamb ELP - Brain Salad Surgery Yezda Urfa - Sacred Baboon (but Boris is fantastic too) National Health - NH or Of Queues and Cures...both are great Hatfield and the North - Rotters' Club Khan - Space Shanty Osanna - Palepoli Mirthrandir - For you the Old Women Crap, I left out a lot of my favorites (some Caravan, VDGG, Camel, PFM, Bubu, Gentle Giant, Il Balletto di Bronzo, Dream Theater, Bacamarte...etc) -_- Those of you who put four or five albums by the same band should have your prog credentials revoked...  ------------- Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement. |
