This week I bought the following albums: Yes: Close To The Edge Now, my question is: Can you recommend me one record of each of these artists, that shows them in a different phase than the album that I bought, but is equally good? Edit: Forgot to mention that I don't have any other album of these artists - I'm more a 90s prog-metal guy.
Thanks! ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/release-polls/pa" rel="nofollow - Release Polls Listened to:

Yes - The Yes Album
Don't really like GG
Although the line-up drastically changed, I consider Relayer to be the same phase as CTTE (long heavy symphonic pieces). But like the following suggestions it is almost as good as CTTE. ------------- I'm always almost unlucky _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Id5ZcnjXSZaSMFMC Id5LM2q2jfqz3YxT |

Camel - Mirage, Snow Goose, Moonmadness, Nude are all absolutely excellent and a major improvement on their (admittedly impressive) debut. Yes - The Yes Album is (IMHO) even better than Close to the Edge The others are the probably best albums by those bands Welcome to 70s prog!

Camel - "Harbour of Tears" is very different, yet very Camel! I concur with the Yes album - or try "Time and A Word". Rush - "Permanent Waves" definitely. Genesis - "Duke" (I think this is a really good album, bar a couple of weak points). If you don't own Foxtrot, then get that too GG - "Acquiring the Taste" - but it's not really a different phase as GG had different phases for every song, it would seem |

Well...don't count out the 80s version of those bands either ... I know
the Phil Collins era of Genesis isn't all that inspiring, but still not
THAT bad. Yes - Drama Genesis - Invisible Touch (Land of Confusion is on here) Rush - Power Windows ------------- ARTEMIA - http://www.reverbnation.com/artemiamusic" rel="nofollow - http://www.reverbnation.com/artemiamusic L.i.E. - http://www.reverbnati |

Thanks, but I'm not going for albums that are "not THAT bad". I know Land of Confusion and for my own personal taste it's just awful, can't find anything positive in it. ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/release-polls/pa" rel="nofollow - Release Polls Listened to:

| I would recommed only "Exit...Stage Left" by Rush from early 80's. Double album live, IMHO their best release. |

"Can you recommend me one record of each of these artists, that shows them in a different phase than the album that I bought, but is equally good?" (This sentence was worth repeating before I'd make my suggestions. Though "equally good" is a controversial thing... How an album from a band's very different phase can be equally good? It can be good but in a different way! You know what I mean? Yes: Relayer and/or Going For The One and/or 90125 Genesis: Trick Of The Tail and/or Genesis Gentle Giant: Civilian Camel: (Personally I don't like them, but if... then Nude or Rajaz) Rush: Moving Pictures and/or Signals and/or Power Windows

Yes: try Relayer, this is different to CTTE but just as good. If you want different Yes phases, go onto Drama, then the Rabin stuff. Genesis: a different phase would be Trick of the Tail and Wind and Wuthering, as I went off them after that. Gentle Giant: I'm only just getting into them, so can't comment yet. Camel: Snow Goose and Moonmadness are the only 2 I know. Rush: Permanent Waves starts getting different. Rush changed after Moving Pictures as they went more into synths, so anything after that really. |
