I think I did this a while ago, but since then I've listened to a lot more music, so I'm going to redo it. Anglagard - Hybris Dixie Dregs - What If ELP - Brain Salad Surgery ELP - ELP ELP - Tarkus ELP - Trilogy Genesis - The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway Genesis - Selling England By The Pound Gentle Giant - Octopus VdGG - He To He, Who Am The Only One VdGG - Pawn Hearts VdGG - Godbluff Yes - Close To The Edge Yes - Drama Yes - Fragile Yes - Going For The One Yes - The Yes Album

edited for length:

 

Based on what I've seen here, all of which is very good, I might suggest a band called UK. If you get into Gentle Giant, you will definitely like these guys.

 

In The Dead of Night

 

Bill Bruford - Drums, percussion

Allan Holdsworth - Guitars

Eddie Jobson - Electric violin, keyboards, electronics

John Wetton - Bass, lead vocals

I'm listening to "In The Dead of the Night" and its really good. Thanks for the link. I'll get some of their stuff soon.

These are essential VdGG prog albums, according to Progarchives.

 

 

 

H to He, Who Am The Only One

Pawn Hearts

Godbluff

Still Life

 

And I definitely agree.

 

However, if I had to shorten this list to an essential two, it would be Pawn Hearts and Godbluff.

Personally it'd be Still Life and Pawn Hearts, although my favorite VdGG songs are scattered all over the place (pun intended).

 

And not as essential, but still great: Peter Hammill's solo albums from Chameleon to In Camera.

I just listened to their self-titled album and loved it. Thanks for the recommendation.
