ARGENT was a very interesting prog band of the first half of the seventies. The band's leader, keyboardist Rod Argent, is a great musician, which has nothing to envy to "Keyboards Kings" like Emerson, Wakeman, Banks and Moraz, to name a few.

So, which album do you prefere?

Encore is definitely the best thing they've done; Includes all their proggier stuff except two tracks (River on Deep and another on Nexus) , plus a superb version of Zombies Time Of The Season

From Studio albums, I would point to Nexus and In Deep as their best album

All together is way over rated and that Love Suite is going nowhere

I have only heard Nexus and an anthology,so I guess my pick is Nexus.Nexus is a great album.

Hold Your Head Up is one of the all-time great progressive singles.

In case you are wondering , guitarist Russ Ballard did a few solo records among which Barnett Dogs and Into The Fire are the best. Never too far away from a very slight disco tingue in some tracks (due to the years he released those albums), he had some brilliant RNR tracks too!
