This is the case:
You are asked by someone who is new to prog, to exlpain to him what's it about and what best way to do it than let the person listen to it himself.
He has asked you to give a list of key albums for each genre and that list needs to be as short as possible, but needs to include the most defining albums and also, to the extent possible, the various styles of this genre, so that he doesn't just hear the same style in several albums.
Here's your challenge - compile a list for which genre you want represented here in PA that has:
- key/influential albums
- albums that represent as many possible styles within this genre
I give no limit of number of albums per list, but try to be as short and succint. If you can make it a 10 album list, then great; if not, no problem.
Remember, those are not necessarily your favourite albums, but albums you think represent best the sound of that particular genre, or a style within that genre.
I'll give mine later on.
Let the lists begin...

I think it would be a good idea to give newbies 2 contrasting albums by each artist.
Right, in me own why... Symphonic Genesis-Nursery Cryme Genesis-Foxtrot Yes-Relayer Yes-Close To The Edge Focus-Focus III Focus-Moving Waves Camel-Mirage Camel-The Snow Goose Steve Hackett- Spectral Mornings Steve Hackett- Voyage Of The Acolytes Jazz/Fusion Brand X- Masques Brand X- Macrocosm Billy Cobham-Spectrum Billy Cobham-Magic Mahavishnu Orchestra-Birds of Fire Mahavishnu Orchestra-The Inner Mounting Flame Santana-Caravanserai Santana-Havana Moon John McLaughlin-Devotion John Mclaughlin-The Promise RIO/Avant Frank Zappa-Zoot Allures Frank Zappa-The Grand Wazoo Captain Beefheart-Trout Mask Replica Captain Beefheart- Safe As Milk John Zorn-Locus Solus John Zorn-Naked City Mr.Bungle-Mr.Bungle Mr.Bungle-Disco Valante PPOTU-1997 PPOTU- Ach To Statu Hanobeni ------------- Would you like to watch TV, or get between the sheets, or contemplate the silent freeway, would you like something to eat? |

@ http://www.progarchives.com/forum/member_profile.asp?PF=16207&FID=79 - cynthiasmallet - interesting idea, helps see the diversity of one band/musician.
@ Micky - I'll look forward to it (especially your guide to RPI...).
I'll also prepare mine later.
Feel free to do which genre you like.
I am very interested to read all your thoughts about this, so please share.

okay, now for the motherload...even though micky's pretty much covered ALL of it Rock Progressivo Italiano!!
first let me say that this is such a broad category that I've gone well over 10, and could have very well kept going, but that would be losing the objective here. So here we are, as concise as I could be while covering all bases and roughly in order for newcomers...
PFM - Storia di un Minuto
Banco del Mutuo Soccorso - Io Sono Nato Libero
Area - Arbeit Macht Frei
Le Orme - Felona e Sorona
RDM - Contaminazione (or substitute New Trolls and you've got "ba-rock" covered)
Celeste - s/t (this one here's my fave RPI album...just gorgeous)
Il Biglietto per L'Inferno - s/t
Alphataurus - s/t
Jacula - Tardo Pede in Magiam Versus
La Locanda delle Fate - Forse le Lucciole Non si Amon Piu
at this point, you would want to make sure you have all of the big boys covered...ie. all of PFM, Area, Le Orme and Banco's albums, then proceed...
Metamorphosi - Inferno
Arti e Mestieri - Tilt
Quella Vecchia Locanda - s/t
Alan Sorrenti - Aria
Il Volo - Essere o Non Essere?
Riccardo Zappa - Celestion
I Giganti - Terra in Bocca
Osanna - L'Uomo
Ibis - Sun Supreme
RRR - Per...un Mondo di Cristallo
Buon Vecchio Charlie - s/t
Rustichelli & Bordini - Opera Prima
Delirium - Dolce Acgua
there's so many styles in RPI that it takes many albums to cover, and in this case there are still tons I left out.

Well....I don't know THAT many prog artists so I'll try to make do with the ones that I've heard. Symphonic: Foxtrot - Genesis Close to the Edge - Yes Tales from Topographic Oceans - Yes A Song for All Seasons - Renaissance Going for the One - Yes Selling England by the Pound - Genesis Neo-Prog: A Trick of the Tail - Genesis Misplaced Childhood - Marillion (not a fan of Fish, but I've heard selections from this album so I know it's one of the key Neo-Progressive Rock albums) Script for a Jester's Tear - Marillion Psychedelic\Space Rock: The Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd A Saucerful of Secrets - Pink Floyd The Wall - Pink Floyd Side note: Pink Floyd's all I know here. Prog Folk: Aqualung - Jehtro Tull Songs from the Wood - Jethro Tull Trespass - Genesis (wouldn't this be progressive folk? Except for "The Knife", which would be like heavy prog I guess, the album sure sounds like it's prog folk) Electronic Prog: The Man-Machine - Kraftwerk Electric Cafe - Kraftwerk Autobahn - Kraftwerk Rubycon - Tangerine Dream Phaedra - Tangerine Dream Zeit - Tangerine Dream Eclectic Prog: In the Court of the Crimson King - King Crimson Larks' Tongues in Aspic - King Crimson Prog Metal: Scenes from a Memory Metropolis Part II - Dream Theater There. That's all I can muster. |

Wow, thanks for the lists, I like to see and get to know other perspectives of how a particular style of music sounds to others and what different "subs" comprise it.
I'm still a bit too busy to write a list, but it'll come later.

Nobody posted on NEO PROG yet, so I'll give my list of essentials for this genre of which I'm a great fan. First of all I have to say I restricted myself to 1 album of each "essential" band except Marillion, since they are more than essential, quintessential to this genre. The choice of albums also reflects my personal preferences
Marillion: Fish era -
Script For A Jester's Tear (The most essential album of the genre)
Misplaced Childhood
H-era: These two albums define the music of this period best IMO:
Afraid of Sunlight
Marbles
IQ - Subterranea
Pallas - The Dreams Of Men
Arena - The Visitor
Collage - Moonshine (absolutely great!!!)
Clepsydra - More Grains of Sand
Saens - Escaping from the Hands of God
Satellite - Evening Games
Gazpacho - Night (mixture of neo prog and post rock)
Aragon - Rocking Horse and Other Stories
Sylvan - Posthumous Silence
and the DVD's:
Pendragon - And Now Everybody To The Stage
NEO - Broadcast
------------- To be the one who seeks so I may find .. (Metallica) |

good list I have not heard Unexpect though Death's Symbolic is definitely in I don't really agree with a Murder of Crows, found it weak and not representative of the genre... |

Hehe, knew that, but I maintain that it's an essential neo-prog album which shows what the combination of neo prog with post rock could look like...That it's now in Xover just might mean that there's some neo influences in that catagory... ------------- To be the one who seeks so I may find ..

I don't think there's anything psychedelic or spacey about The Wall really, in fact I think it's closer to symphonic, any of the albums till Dark Side of The Moon would be better examples of the Psychedelic\Space Rock genre. What do you think? -------------

This is how I define Symphonic for the moment: YES - Close to the Edge ELP - Welcome Back My Friends.... Camel - Snowgoose Focus - Hamburger Concerto Genesis - Selling England By the Pound YES - Tales From Topographic Oceans Steve Hacket - Voyage of the Acolyte Grobschnitt - Solar Music Live Harmonium - Si On Avait Besoin D'une Cinquieme Saison Anglagard - Hybris After Crying - haven't decided which album They're all pretty much in the top 100 and I think they represent what I think are the most important specific (the "Classical" core of ELP, the tight interplay of Gensis, the overblown extravaganza on Tales) and non-specific (like the "space" of Grobschnitt, "avant" of After Crying, the "neo" of the second symphonic wave, the eclectism and heavyness of Anglagard, the "folk" side on Harmonium) traits of Symphonic Prog. ------------- "PA's own GI Joe!"

interesting lists Paolo in my book (for what it's worth.. the first four KR are spot on... espcially Yeti.... just finishing up a listen of it now. not a fan of Alphataurus, would sub Zarathrustra, that album should be in every prog fans collection ...and would have Uomo di Pezza for Le Orme.. but the rest... I haven't heard all the albums you have in electronic there... but of the ones that I have. Zeit is frickin amazing.. love that album. I did hear the Baffo Banfi you had there... and it just didn't grab me. Then again, electronic is one of my weakest subs as far as what I have....and like. Always been more a rock and roller at heart ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |
