Greg Walker from synphonic put out a list several years ago of his favorite 100 prog albums. If you do a google search for "Greg Walker top 100 prog album list aural moon" it will probably show up first or second in the search results. It was initially posted on the aural moon website. Anyway, about 97 percent of the albums on his list are from the seventies and so it's a good compliment to what is being discussed here(much overlap as well).

Truly an excellent album!  I didn't list it because I'd known about it before I discovered PA so didn't think it was obscure enough Wink

Epdaurus and Bubu in that order. Plat Du Jour would have easily got my vote if it was there, also some others high on my two lists not mentioned... Arachaia, Smak, Atila, Weidorje, Rialzu, Zyma, Yoch'o Seffer, The Plastic People Of The Universe, Gebarvaterli, Nanu Urwerk, Arco Iris and Ose.

By the way, Bubu is the name of the band not the album. ;)

Bubu is a top 3 album for me, period. Also voted for Island and Circus, but they aren't nearly in the same league (still pretty darn good, though).

Atmosphera and Jose Cid are also enjoyable, but I didn't feel compelled to vote for either. I'm unfamiliar with about half of the others, so I guess I have some listening to do!

Some fairly obscure ones up there.....I have about 10 of those......of them my  favorite is Circus-Moving On....great melodic jazzy eclectic  prog. I also like Cathedral-Stained Glass....nice symphonic stuff with many touches of Yes and KC etc....

I'll toss a vote to Shylock. A great underrated band.

I'm into all these, but the best of the best that got my votes...

Pulsar (Halloween is an all time fave)
Cathedral (surprised this one's not getting more votes)
Anabelas (everyone knows about this one)
Mona Lisa (both albums)
Ange (the last truly great Ange album)
Ethos (much better than their debut album)
Netherworld (prefer the early release without "Too hard to Forget" and "Maybe if they Burn me")

Thanks for the corrections, not sure how I messed up Mona Lisa & Arachnoid Wacko 

OTOH, PA lists Gialorgues as '77.  Also I always consider Netherworld a '78 release for a couple reasons.  I was in a San Jose area prog band called Elfhouse and we both recorded at Ayre Studios.  Ayre later took out an ad in '78 (or possible '79) thanking all the bands that recorded with them.  Netherworld and Elfhouse were both listed so I always thought they recorded their album the same time we recorded our demo.  Also, I'm pretty sure that's when I got hold of a test cassette of their upcoming album.  Now that I think about it, the cassette didn't have "Too hard to Forget" and "Maybe if they Burn me", which might have been recorded after 1980, but all the other songs on the album were present Wink

I don't know most of these but voted for the few I do know. I think Harlequin Mass is a good one but not essential. Kind of similar to Renaissance. I also voted for Epidaurus(a must have for collectors of obscure symph prog)and Cathedral(another must have for symph collectors).
