Entre_Perpetuo Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 So a great number of us aren't simply Rush fans, but prog rock fans in general. And in testament to that, I figure it's time to elect 120 candidates to go up against each other in a series of polls to determine the board's favorite prog album ever! If you know you've got a controversial choice, you may want to explain it, but seeing as there will be polls after this thread, it probably won't matter. Albums that aren't prog probably just won't get votes. Anyway, let's start things off on a high note: 1. Rush - 2112 say what you want about side 2, but side 1 is a prog essential 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
