I still find AFTK and Hemi more Prog than MP.

I have most of those albums!

Same but I need the italian stuff. And by Supertramp I only have Breakfast in America. My guitarist loves Supertramp but i'm looking to listen to them more soon.

 

And yes, AFTK and Hemi are a lot more prog than moving pictures, at least for the purpose of this list.

 

The Italian stuff i have heard on Goober's show is reallygood.

The only album in that top 25 I don't have is the aforementioned Supertramp. I'd rate SEBTP way above any Tull and PFM's Storia above their Per UN Amico. Both bloody fine albums though. Harmonium's album is a beautiful example of folky symphonic Prog.

'Red' should be number 8. It's way better than Floyd's 'Animals'.

no.gif Animals rules! Floyd's 2nd best album! (after WYWH) yes.gif

I didn't say I didn't like them, just that they aren't Prog.

 

Actually I don't like them... laugh.gif

 

That top 25 is, on the whole, a very conservative list and an easy "in" for most noobs. Very useful for your thread about introducing someone to Prog.

Supertramp are about as Prog as ABBA.

I'd also opine that AFTK and Hemspheres are more Prog than MP.

I don't think Supertramp is a progressive band, but I like the "Crime" pick.

 

I think it's a progressive album for a great rock band.

 

"School" is my all time song by the Tramp. It's proggy to me.

 

ABBA became progressive pop eventually with their self titled album.

 

"Eagle" says it all.

there's a fine line between being 'creatively inspired' and 'collectively retarded' when it comes to chemical influences as applied to music-making

 

both VDGG and Tull crossed the line (for the worse) multiple times

 

as such, both are effortlessly dismissable

And dude you called VdGG hippies? Umm, here's a lyric from the genius of Peter Hammill:

 

Compassion you plead as though they kept it in a box...

That's long since been empty.

 

 

Yeah, totally hippy eyesre4.gif

 

 

 

Oh, might as well listen to the rest of that genius song if you want hippy lyrics.

A bloody good list.

 

The only one I don't have is the Banco(Thanks Tony!) album, must check it out.

 

Wouldn't have Thick As A Brick in there though, a prog album taking the piss out of prog albums as a top prog album????? Nope....too much padding, same as A Passion Play.

 

Wish You Were Here.....hmmmm...let down by the pedestrian Have A Cigar and Welcome To The MAchine, which is pants...

 

Are Supertramp prog......strictly speaking, no. They're still bloody(well right) marvellous though.

 

And no Abba....

 

NO ABBA?????
