Here's another alphabetical prog album list, this time albums beginning with the letter "A". I had about 35+ of these in my collection so had to narrow it down to 24 plus an "other" category. Remember this is a multiple poll so vote for all your favorites! Have fun...

Abbey Road, Acquiring the Taste, Absolutely Free, and A Farewell to Kings are all pretty much tied for me.

Atom, but Abbey Road and Angel's Egg very close. Good point about Argus. ------------- I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution |

Abbey Road isn't a prog album. If people think Octopus' Garden, Maxwell's Silver Hammer and Oh Darling warrant Abbey Road to be classified as prog.....then I will go "he". Really the only reason why Abbey Road is partially prog related is because of the "'Medley" on side 2. Don't get me wrong, Abbey Road is a great rock album but prog? No IMHO. OH and where's "A" from Tull? Really, it is the definitive "A" album.....isn't it? I know I'm not with the masses but I think "A" is a fantastic album.

A fantastic list and it would depend on the day of the week! Animals V APP V Abbey Road - all brilliant. All three only just beaten by Van's Astral Weeks - which is prog (ish)

Some killer albums on this list - Arachnoid, Animals, Atom Heart Mother, A Night At The Opera, Acquiring the Taste, Angels Egg and A Tab In The Ocean especially get my nod of approval...
But I have a lot of love for Ange's `Au dela du Delire' - any album where Christian Decamps gets to f**k-snap and display that wild manic croon is OK with me! That was also one of the very first prog albums I ever heard and nothing prepared me for it!

Voted for Angel's Egg. Funny that that other Jethro Tull album beginning with A is not included. Now what was it called .......... (Answers on a postcard please) ...

or ...And then there were three.....
Astral Weeks is a good not prog choice. ------------- Help me I'm falling! |

I Will Pick Eno's masterpiece, Another Green World. He is outstanding, with a very rare talent, even though he is not a musician, he knows music better than anyone. And this is one of his best albums. ------------- Prog is whatevey you want it to be. So dont diss other peoples prog, and they wont diss yours |

I had to pick Animals... love that album. By the way, am I the only one wondering why albums with an initial article are included under A? I would have file "A Trick of the Tail" under T. No big deal, really.  ------------- ---------- i'm shopping for a new oil-cured sinus bag that's a happy bag of lettuce this car smells like cartilage nothing beats a good video about fractions |

So keep in mind I have to limit the voting list to 24 so if you don't see a specific album ("A", "And Then There Were Three", etc...) it either means they're not in my collection or I had to cut them to make the top 24 a varied list. That's why there's an "other" category  I went with (in no specific order) A Farewell to Kings A Passion Play Au Dela du Delire Angels Egg Abbey Road AOXOMOXOA ------------- https://wytchcrypt.wixsite.com/mutiny-in-jonestown" rel="nofollow - Mutiny in Jonestown : Progressive Rock Since 1987 |

A close call between Animals and Angel's Egg. ------------- I am currently digging: Hawkwind, Rare Bird, Gong, Tangerine Dream, Khan, Iron Butterfly, and all things canterbury and hard-psych. I also love jazz! Please drop me a message with album suggestions. |

^ Anabelas is a killer album -- highly accomplished; excellent. Lots of A+ A albums, but I feel like voting other for Archaia's self-titled -- been revisiting that album a lot. It took me some time to fully warm up to it. On the list: Angel's Egg, Arachnoid, and Atom Heart mother are particular favourites. When quickly scanning the list, I not quite almost mistook Ethos - Ardour for Eskaton -- Ardeur. Never heard the former, but love the latter. |
