Ozeic Tentacles?!?! Jurassic Shift?!?!?

 

 

f***ing great album.

 

Vote for 11 in each poll, not just 1. Unless you don’t want to. :)

How did you arrive at these albums? Were they all voted on previously?

 

If I remember correctly, it was just a list like we usually do where everyone just posts an album. And we did that until we got to these albums

An album that I wish would make top 10 but will probably get knocked out really early due to people not knowing them is VDGG - Pawn Hearts, an amazing album.

 

Some tough choices to make, I may have skipped over some without even realizing it.

I was ok until the third group. Probably only heard four or five of them. I just picked bands whose names hold significant weight in the genre in order to complete it.

The problem with this is that it's going to obviously end up with a bunch of RUSH albums, because here we all are on a RUSH forum...

 

Exactly. It would kind of make sense for Rush to be excluded. I can see both sides of the argument though.

Well, I've got my group 1 choices. I left out many great, great albums because they aren't really all that prog (Quadrophenia, for example).

 

Pink Floyd-Dark Side Of The Moon

Camel- Moonmadness

Yes - Relayer

Marillion - Misplaced Childhood

Jethro Tull - A Passion Play

Premiata Forneria Marconi - Per Un Amico

Neu - Neu

Quadrophenia is a concept album with many facets...it’s proto-prog at a minimum.

My personal favourite Prog album OAT is Hand.Cannot.Erase.

It’s damn near perfect. I love SEBTP but it is far from perfect (The Battle Of Epping Forest is dreadful), CTTE is great but to me HCE is a masterpiece.

They flew into his mind like the OWL from Fly By Night!

 

I ask because it's missing Days of Future Past. I've read some call it elsewhere the first "prog" (whatever that is) album.

Well, I have four spots remaining, so with your approval I'll go back and add it. Animals, too for that matter.

Epping Forrest has grown on me over time, but definitely didn’t deserve its runtime as much as Cinema Show or Dancing With The Moonlit Knight. Weighs the record down.

I'm still trying to figure out how a Daft Punk album wound up on a list of top prog albums. In what universe are they prog? LOL. And WASP also. I guess just because someone is a prog fan doesn't automatically mean they are knowledgeable about prog rock. I listened to some of that WASP album on youtube and in no way does that qualify.
