Can you list your Top Ten Albums


Recommended Posts

1. Hemispheres, Rush

2. Selling England By The Pound, Genesis

3. Pawn Hearts, Van Der Graaf Generator

4. Thick as a Brick, Jethro Tull

5. Close to the Edge, Yes

6. Moving Pictures, Rush

7. Mer De Noms, A Perfect Circle

8. Love Over Gold, Dire Straits

9. H to He, Who Am the Only One, Van Der Graaf Generator

10. Fear of a Blank Planet, Porcupine Tree

 

 

Alright, this is just current. But Hemi is always 1. I put MP at six only because every time I listen to it I realize just how epic it is. When I'm not listening to it, I think it's just the commercial, famous Rush album. But when I hear it, it is Rush all the way through and I think it's actually underrated (or at least under-appreciated) wacko.gif

But every day, that number six spot will change with any of the following:

Caress of Steel, A Farewell To Kings, Permanent Waves, Signals, Grace Under Pressure, Power Windows, Hold Your Fire, Presto, Roll The Bones, or Vapor Trails. This is the reason why Rush is my favorite band wub.gif

I've attempted this before, but never was able to get it down to just 10. Here's my best go at it at the moment (quickly before I re-think and over-analyze it, and then I'll never post it):

 

In alpha order, because numerical order would just be too damn hard:

 

Syd Barrett - The Madcap Laughs (1970)

Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band - Trout Mask Replica (1969)

Genesis - Selling England by the Pound (1973)

Jefferson Airplane - After Bathing At Baxter's (1967)

King Crimson - Lizard (1970)

Love - Forever Changes (1967)

The Moody Blues - On the Threshold of a Dream (1969)

Rush - Signals (1982)

Robert Wyatt - Rock Bottom (1974)

Yes - Tales From Topographic Oceans (1973)

 

Honorable Mention

If this wasn't a technically a compilation, it would definitely knock one of those out of the top 10, as it's better than some of them:

 

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - So Far (1974)

I haven't been able to make it through a Rush song lately.. but yes I like them unsure.gif

As for Captain Beefheart and Popol Vuh, I'd say the 2 Gary and I have on our lists would be the best albums to start with yes.gif

Haha, maybe you need a break, but you it seems your taste in music is not necessarily the same style as Rush...

 

But thanks for the recommendations...are they prog, or something else? I haven't done research on them yet but I keep seeing them all over the place.
