I had such kind of list too..it is almost fulfilled now 
ARENA - I'd recommend you the two first records &,maybe,the last one.I dislike Visitor & Contagion,thet're sound too AORic for me PINKs,ELP,GENESIS,VAN DER GRAAF,CRIMSON & GIANT - you have mentioned the very best albums of them.A perfect choise  !I'd like to recommend you also GENESIS's 70-73 works & MARILLION's 82-85(or you alresdy have them all? )As for IQ,that's one of my favouritest groups ever,The Wake & Dark Matter are my favor CDs of them.And The Seventh House is also an excellent choise.
OPETH - Ileke the first two from all,they're dark & complex.Others are more easy-to-listen-to,but less interesting. IMHO 
Good luck in Prog World!

Good list! Fish, Opeth and Magma are not my cup of tea so can't really comment on them. The rest looks pretty good, my personal favourites would be the Yes ones. Masquerade Overture is a favourite at the moment, you might also want to consider IQ's "Dark Matter" which is their best one imo. Also Glass Hammer's new one, The Inconsolable Secret" I think is better than Lex Rex.

yes I have all the Genesis Gabriel era albums except "The Lamb", and I have a very dissapointing "Frances the Mute" and I have a very good Marillion collection. And V by Spock's Beard. Thanks to all I know I'm on the right track now that I see you all regard these wants as masterpieces.

My favourites (and "the favourites") from your list:
Genesis-The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway Jethro Tull-Heavy Horses Jethro Tull-Minstrel in the Gallery King Crimson-Red
Pink Floyd-Animals Pink Floyd-Dark Side of the Moon Rick Wakeman-The Six Wives Of Henry VIII
Van der Graaf Generator-H to He, Who Am the Only One Yes-Close to the Edge Yes-Relayer Yes-Tales from Topographic Oceans Yes-Drama
Are you going to get them on a CD? Could cost you a lot! I'll hunt most of my records on vinyls from second hand shops. Takes time, but you save money, get neater albums and you get a time taking hobby! |

If you're new to prog... you should buy first, the ones in bold. My most beloved albums out of the ones you listed, are underlined. And one last thing, beware of anything neo prog (which I already deleted out of your list anyway...) Oh, and BTW, I've also taken out of your list other great albums that you should get in the future. First, concentrate on the ones that haven't been deleted. Cheers! |

Magma-Kobaïa Magma-Üdü Wüdü Magma-Retrospektiw Vol. 3 Magma-Mekanik Destruktiw Kommandoh Magma-1001° Centigrades Magma-Köhntarkösz
Really amazes me that people can live without these records (Retrospektive vol. 1 + 2 incl. (3 is not that essential) And of course the double live LP from 1975), surely I wonder how I survived all these years not knowing the absolutely stunning and brilliant music these records contain.
But also prog-rock essentials as Close to the Edge, Dark side of the Moon, The Lamb..., Tales..., Relayer, In the Court of..., Pawn Hearts, Tarkus etc. should have a high priority. |

OK, this is my opinion....and of course we all entitled to them!! Crosses next to the NO - NOs.......!!! Arena-Contagion Arena-Pepper’s Ghost Arena-The Visitor - OK..... Arena-Songs from the lion cage - X Arena-Pride - X
Fish-Vigil in a Wilderness of Mirrors - OK album..dont start here... Fish-Sunsets on Empire Fish-Raingods with Zippos Fish-Field of Crows - X - not necessary.
The Flower Kings-Retropolis - Good album, but dont start here -go to> The Flower Kings-Stardust we are The Flower Kings-Space Revolver The Flower Kings-Unfold the Future
Genesis-The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway
Gentle Giant-Free Hand -X -I would avoid GG with a sharp stick, but many like them. Gentle Giant- Gentle Giant-X Gentle Giant-Octopus -X Gentle Giant-The Power and The Glory -X Gentle Giant-Three Friends-X
Glass Hammer-Chronometree -not necessary, not the placer to start Glass Hammer-Lex Rex Glass Hammer-Shadowlands
IQ- The Wake IQ- The Seventh House IQ- Subterranea
Jethro Tull-Heavy Horses Jethro Tull-Minstrel in the Gallery Jethro Tull-WarChild -Not the greatest Tull CD, there are MANY better before this, such as 'Thick as a brick', 'songs from the wood' and 'Broadsword and the beast'
King Crimson-In the Court of the Crimson King - X -NoWAY is this as necessary as many here would have you believe! King Crimson-Red
Magma-Kobaïa-X -Magma are the most AQUIRED taste in prog, test yourself on MDK first see if you can deal with it, then proceed. Magma-Üdü Wüdü- Magma-Retrospektiw Vol. 3 -X Magma-Mekanik Destruktiw Kommandoh -X Magma-1001° Centigrades -X Magma-Attahk-X Magma-Köhntarkösz -X
The Mars Volta-De-loused in the Comatorium -X yuk, most overrated band here, except for Opeth maybe..
Neal Morse-It's Not Too Late -OK, album, NOT religious, but not proggy either, short songs, some are v.poppy, but all are decent, especially the closing song. Neal Morse-One - Neal Morse-Neal Morse Neal Morse-Testimony XX -yuk, religious overblown/overlong nonsense, avoid like plague Mike Oldfield-Tubular Bells -
Opeth-Damnationx- OK album, has no Growling vox, so you can hear how good they COULD be, what a shame the vocals are so silly on their other albums, a waste.
Pendragon-The Masquerade Overture - OK, prefer 'The world' Pendragon-Not of this world -as above, but get 'Masquerade..' before this.
Pink Floyd-Animals Pink Floyd-Dark Side of the Moon
Rick Wakeman-The Six Wives Of Henry VIII Rick Wakeman-Journey to The centre of the earth Rick Wakeman-The Myths and Legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table
Spock’s Beard-The Light Spock’s Beard-Snow -overlong ..good, but a missed opportunity. Spock’s Beard- The Kindness of Strangers Spock’s Beard-Beware of Darkness
Transatlantic-Stolt Morse Portnoy Trewevas (Smpte) Transatlantic-Bridge Across Forever - Van der Graaf Generator-Godbluff-x -VDGG -another aquired taste, check out one of the two below and check whether you can deal with Hammil's voice first! Van der Graaf Generator-Pawn Hearts Van der Graaf Generator-H to He, Who Am the Only One
Yes-Close to the Edge Yes-Relayer Yes-Tales from Topographic Oceans Yes-Drama Yes-Going for The One |

You must buy the entire TFK and TA catalogue or face my wrath! Jus' kiddin'! Also recommend any of these albums highly too: Yes-Close to the Edge Those are must buy Prog Rock cds, you must have those! |
Posted By: Phil
Date Posted: October 13 2005 at 04:07
Great selection but personally stick with just Close to the Edge from Yes to begin with. If you like it then try Relayer. Try "In The Court of the Crimson King" before Red even though you may end up preferring the latter - but ITCOTCK is really a "must have". I would also have Pink Floyd "Dark Side of the Moon" as another "must have" although again, you may end up preferring Animals (as I do). Enjoy!! |

video vertigo, are you relatively new to Jethro Tull? Because if you are, I wouldn't get started on those albums. I would start you off on Aqualung, Thick as a Brick (MASTERPIECE), Stand Up, A Passion Play (also a masterpiece, but wait until you're fully into the Tull sound to buy it), Songs from the Wood, Minstrel in the Gallery, Heavy Horses. WarChild is a good album, but it's nowhere near one of their best. I actually got the JT albums in chronological order (well, I got Aqualung first, and then backtracked to This Was, Stand Up, Benefit, and kept going chronologically from there), you could try that too. If you don't feel like getting the first 3 albums, then you could get Living in the Past, as with the arrival of the CD came the bonus tracks, and most of the songs on LitP are on bonus tracks in those CDs. So if you're gonna get the first 3 albums, then don't make LitP an immediate purchase, as you will have heard most of it. It's got some other good tracks, though, and 2 cool live songs, so if you're a huge fan and a completionist (like me) then go for it. ------------- The crux of the biscuit is the apostrophe. http://www.last.fm/user/sbonfiglioli/?chartstyle=red">

I have Aqualung and Thick as a Brick. I included the albums mentioned because they were the highest recommend in the reviews. I enjoy TAAB and Aqualung and wanted to continue into more Jethro Tull albums ------------- "The rock and roll business is pretty absurd, but the world of serious music is much worse." - Zappa |

I once had a wish list that was very long and I decided to prioritise it and wipe off a lot of stuff. If your wish list gets too big then it controls you rather than the other way round. Get your wish list down to 10 items at the most otherwise it's depressing. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/BobGreece/?chartstyle=basicrt10">
