StellarJetman Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 (edited) I've been meaning to start this thread for a while now. "Neo-prog" and the like are welcome, if you're into that kind of thing. If you can't rank the albums, alphabetize them! I'll start: The Dark Side of the Moon, by Pink Floyd Fragile, by Yes The Grand Wazoo, by Frank Zappa Hemispheres, by Rush I Robot, by The Alan Parsons Project In the Court of the Crimson King, by King Crimson Masque, by Kansas Red, by King Crimson (again, because they deserve it) Selling England by the Pound, by Genesis Thick as a Brick, by Jethro Tull Edited July 13, 2011 by StellarJetman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rushgoober Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 QUOTE (StellarJetman @ Jul 15 2011, 10:25 PM) I feel bad about bumping my own thread like this, but I hadn't expected it to just fizzle out after three replies. It's only because variations of this have been done many times before, but it's not a subject I ever tire of. I do agree, however, that more people need to respond!

ReRushed Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 When it comes to Prog, my tastes are a bit pedestrian. Off the top of my head, in no particular order: King Crimson - Red Yes - Close to the Edge Pink Floyd - Animals Van Der Graaf Generator - Pawn Hearts Rush - Hemispheres Gentle Giant - Octopus Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Emerson, Lake & Palmer Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick U.K. - U.K. Camel - Mirage Hmmm, I don't listen to as much Prog as I thought I did. This was tough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rushgoober Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I must say for the record that I've been listening to Thick as a Brick a bit lately, and it's really starting to grow on me. It's not like I didn't like it previously, I just thought it was perhaps a bit overblown and I never quite got it. I'm starting to get it. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColdFireYYZ Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 (edited) anyway, I couldnt possibly boil down all the great prog out there to a top 10 listI can't either. I've listened to so many great prog albums since I last posted in this thread and I'm always finding new stuff.
