1) Rush - Moving Pictures
2) Led Zeppelin IV
3) Rush - Permanent Waves
4) Yes - Close to the Edge
5) Rush - Grace Under Pressure
6) Judas Priest - British Steel
7) Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
8) Yes - Fragile
9) ELP - Brain Salad Surgery
10) Metallica - Master of Puppets
Something like that anyhow, although the order is somewhat arbitrary and numerous other albums could be within the list on any given day, including many other Rush albums, Dream Theater's Images and Words, a couple of additional Yes albums, and something as crazy as Huey Lewis and the News' Sports.

Also, as a note: which of the albums in the topic creator's list isn't prog? At least not according to this site? |

hm. Think there's another thread somewhere. Might be prog-specific, though.
For me: 1. Larks' Tongues In Aspic The ultimate experience of music. Phenomenal, mind-shaking power meets a sort of lamentful feeling, always quite distant yet personal, insistent. Combining atmosphere with playing with lyrics with some crazy experimental edges that always seem purposeful. 2. H To He, Who Am The Only One 3. Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd 4. In The Court Of The Crimson King - King Crimson 5. Islands - King Crimson 6. Nursery Cryme - Genesis 7. Rubycon - Tangerine Dream 8. Emerson, Lake & Palmer - ELP 9. Ys - Il Balletto Di Bronzo 10. Les Porches - Maneige 11. Thick As A Brick - Jethro Tull (Couldn't be missed) Caress of Steel might clock in at around 20. Edited by TGM: Orb - August 23 2008 at 21:21 |

1. Close to the Edge - Yes (undescribable)
2. Metropolis Pt. 2 - Dream Theater (Pure. Musical. Excellence.) 3. Red - King Crimson (Kinda Heavy for KC, but I love it.) 4. Animals - Pink Floyd (MMMMmmmmm.) 5. Physical Graffitti - Led Zeppelin (For classic value; the most perfect zep album.) 6. Relayer - Yes (What can I say) 7. Tales From Topographic Oceans - Yes (I like that it drags out) 8. Obscured by Clouds - Pink Floyd (So underrated) 9. Images and Words - Dream Theater (Awesome.) 10. Moving Pictures - Rush (Rush. :D) Hmmm. Maybe I haven't thought about it enough. |
