| I thought they had three albums. Rain and Tears, from their first album, is fantastic. |

What do you mean? One amazing album and the rest no good, or bands who made just one (amazing) album? Il Balletto di Bronzo has two, and Ahrodites Child several, but only one real prog classic each. Same with these: Metamorfosi Alphataurus Comus Biglietto per L'Inferno Celeste Il Rovescio Della Medaglia Just one (amazing) album: Arzachel Khan Cervello Gotic Maxophone De De Lind Murple Morte Macabre Universal Totem Orchestra L'Uovo di Colombo (not amazing, but good) I know there's plenty more, but these are the ones I have actually heard, and liked. (+ the some of the already mentioned Museo Rosenbach, Dün, Campo de Marte) Not to impressed by: Spring, Cherry Five, Locanda Della Fate, ------------- Over land and under ashes In the sunlight, see - it flashes Find a fly and eat his eye But don't believe in me Don't believe in me Don't believe in me |

My favorite band of one amazing album: Blind Faith (actually rather progressive in its own way) ------------- "Literature is well enough, as a time-passer, and for the improvement and general elevation and purification of mankind, but it has no practical value" - Mark Twain |

| The Canterbury band Khan only made an album, called "Space Shanty", before calling it a day. I haven't heard the whole album, but what I heard was pretty remarkable. |

McDonald and Giles (if you count them as a band).

Titus Groan made only one album - and it's a must for anyone interested in tracing the roots for prog-metal. Fuzzy Duck's one and only album (which is labeled at this site as art rock) is also worth listening. Outside prog, Bakerloo's album is a fantastic piece of late 60s blues-rock. ------------- "He's a man of the past and one of the present" PETER HAMMILL |

I remember reading about it a lot back in the day when it was a raaaa-are vinyl album and it was changing hands for hundreds of dollars, so when I stumbled on the CD rerelease a few years ago, I was fully prepared for it to be horribly overrated on account of its obscurity. So, my expectations weren't all that high, but I was blown away. It may well be among my personal top 50 of all time. -------------

King's X - 'Gretchen Goes To Nebraska'
Perhaps a more 'prog-related' band, but in my book this was their only great album and the only one I really listen to. -------------

I forgot Arkham. I made it my avatar just so I'd remember this beautiful album, but I forgot anyway. I know it's not objectively amazing but it seems to strike a chord with me. |

Another vote for Chris Squire's Fish Out of Water.
I also found Focus' Hamburger Cocerto to be their only five star work with the rest only scratching at 3 stars. ------------- How wonderful to be so profound |
