Easy formula - one album from one band For me,MC was the obvious choise.I was obscured with MARILLION's unquestionable greatness at first...but then I've remebered,that its side B is a bit(no,I can't say "weak"!!!)...a bit usual(except for brilliant "Blind Curve"). And then I've mentioned COLLAGE's masterpeice...my favouritest Neo-prog cincept album,truly.I've got it April,17th,2005,and in Anniversary Listening Day I've realised that it's REALLY INCREDIBLE!!!  Just marvellous... 
PS:sorry if I haven't included your favourite - you may vote in "other" category... |

Thank you that you mentioned my favourite prog concept album: Casino by Casino (Geoff Mann, Clive Nolan and others). Music and lyrics are a complete unity, and I never heard a concept album that made a bigger impression on me than this one. One of the peak moments / albums of both Geoff and Clive.

I think,1992 was the best year for Clive:a stunning SHADOWLAND's debut(my favouritest from him ) and a last work with Mann...  .R.I.P.

I took SATELLITE-A Street between Sunset and Sunrise but there is nothing wrong with any of the other choices. Tough poll. ------------- “Great things are not accomplished by those who yield to trends and fads and popular opinion.” ~Jack Kerouac |

I choose Subterranea by IQ, although that's not their best work (I prefer Dark Matter).

Well, I incline towards The Sentinel. And I'm the first one to vote on this album as I can see. ------------- "Music is much like f**king, but some composers can't climax and others climax too often, leaving themselves and the listener jaded and spent." Charles Bukowski |

Well...I chose 1 album from 1 band,and MC was the most obvious choise(but also Brave and Marbles come to mind) No votes for ARENA's Visitor?I'm suprised!!!
Hey,vote for CLEPSYDRA anyone!!!They made a great work!!!

Well ..it's a concept album,you know...I thought it is clear - it sounds as a one big song,it has related themes in lyrics,it has perfect equilibrium in its sound and music...I like it,finally!!!

Yes,this one too.It's dedicated to Fish's(...oh,I mean,an imaginary hero!  )problems with alcohol...that's why I don't like it

I know this album well, its my favorite. I still don't undrstand the concept. All the songs are independant...aren't they?

Well, I don't agree it sounds like one long song, but there is a constant tone throughout the album, except mybe on "War is Over." By your arguement, I think it could pass off as an album with a loose set of themes, but not a strong concept. If you can prove me otherwise, please do so. I'd like to know what you think the concept is.  ------------- http://soundcloud.com/drewagler" rel="nofollow - My soundcloud. Please give feedback if you want! |

OK...Let me think...I'll prepare my thoughts a bit later,OK?I'm not a native speaker of English,and it's difficult to teel you right now,how do I find MOONSHINE to be a concept story(besides,I agree,that it has NO definite concept,it ISN'T a story with characters or something like this) |
