The ELP - King Biscuit in my collection is a 2 disc set that includes some 1974 recordings as well as 1977 but I guess you have the single disc version.
Nothing in that list really excites me. Yes were already past their peak although GFTO is decent enough. Not a patch on their best though.
Encore is almost the weakest Tangerine Dream live album I've heard.
Seconds Out is not as good as Three Sides Live imo.Cracking version of Dance On A Volcano/Los Endos though.
Not that familiar with the rest. So far my Gentle Giant collection only extends to music they recorded up to and inc Freehand.
Jazz rock usually bores me rigid although I do actually like Colosseum II who could have made the list as they released the excellent Electric Savage in 1977. Oh well never mind.
Electric Savage is a real winner of an album!
I prefer Wardance but I have them both on album anyway, Wardance fully signed as it happens.
I love Wardance just as much as Electric Savage, but find the first album Strange New Flesh a little weak, and i have never caught on to it
I've been hoping to get Wardance for years but it costs £60 on CD from Amazon (available only as an import). I was lucky to get Electric Savage on CD for a reasonable price. That particular album was recorded straight off the back of touring which I think is why it sounds so good. The band are as tight as a bell.
Strange New Flesh . I used to have that on cassette but never liked it that much.They had a full time vocalist at that time and I guess they realised it was better to concentrate on their strengths. Gary Moore is also a decent vocalist as shown on the excellent Rivers.

Ha! Ha! Ha!
Ultravox... They had a somehow prog elements in the J Foxx's period
Maybe but I jusst think Ha! Ha! Ha! is a great intelligent punk album.
Maybe the exclamation mark is progressive?
Yes it is, but I rather prefer "Ultravox!" with the great "I want to be a
machine", and "The wild, the Beautiful and the Damn" very interesting
compositions.

A Live Record over Going for the One and Seconds Out, with The Geese and the Ghost after that. I play all these albums fairly regularly and they all have special memories for me. The Snow Goose, played live with the orchestra, is a definitive as most tracks on Made in Japan are for Mk II Deep Purple.

Ra. I'm starting to get really into all the Rundgren stuff and I gotta say: I think it's the best, or more like the only good post-M. Frog Utopia album. The solos in Singring simply blow my mind.
