Alright, this is more like it! I'm finally beginning to feel spoiled for choice again.
Tipographica's debut and Black Tie White Noise are both equally deserving of my adoration, but I'm putting the former ahead because it fits the progressive rock category a lot better.

1. Tipographica - Tipographica
2. David Bowie - Black Tie White Noise
3. Frank Zappa - The Yellow Shark
4. John Zorn - Kristallnacht
5. Allan Holdsworth - Hard Hat Area
6. The Muffins - Chronometers
7. Naked City - Absinthe
8. Ruins - Graviyaunosch
9. The Robert Fripp String Quintet - The Bridge Between
10. Ozric Tentacles - Jurassic Shift

prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

I was feeling guilty about including the non-prog artist Paul Rodgers in my Top 10, but I guess I shouldn't do if Duran Duran is included in a prog top 10. Tongue

Promoted to get to 10
Pete Bardens - Further than You Know
