That's a great album ![]() Some of my personal favourites, including also some Prog-Related bands: Fire of Unknown Origin (my avatar) Tyranny and Mutation Agents of Fortune Starless and Bible Black (fits the music to a T) Machine Head (same as above) Close to the Edge (no explanation necessary) Selling England by the Pound (strangely prophetic) In the Land of Grey and Pink (great colour combination!)

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ thanks, everyone, so far, for your interesting names- interesting, Raff, that you mention Blue Oyster Cult; a band that I am just very recently getting back into after decades of not listening since the seventies-Tyranny and Mutation, yeah, right on!

Emerson, Lake and Palmer (debut) Subtext ''It's just us but we are f**king awesome so that's enough'' Works Volume One was a bit 'scary' to some when it came out. Just how many Volumes are they planning?!

"Imaginos" (1988) is my favourite Blue Oyster Cult album, partly because it includes the stand-out track, "The Siege and Investiture of Baron von Frankenstein's Castle at Weisseria", featuring Joey Cerisano on vocals, although all of the tracks on the album are good. The album has a great opening track too, "I Am the One You Warned Me Of" |

In the Court of the Crimson King
This one instantly springs to mind. Exploring any "king's court" implies being invited to know his secrets, but the "crimson" part magnifies the danger: it could be a tyrannical warlord, patron of the dark arts, some sort of demon - or maybe a deity, Zeus, Satan, who knows? For me the song order suggests that whole album is a musical journey across his inconceivable, inhumane realms, and only in the finale we're granted permission to see His deeds in a towering, intimidating castle... and it's just one take on this fabulous title. The symbolism and use of archetypes are strong in this one, that's why it's so potent imho. In the Wake of Poseidon I've got to know most of prog classics through my father back in the childhood days. He was doing his best in translating songs/album titles for myself, but this one was a fumble: he said it's like "Awaiting Poseidon", looking forward to his arrival... this one stuck in my head for years and only as a teenager I got this one correct ![]() Larks' Tongues in Aspic Promising exotic delights, a feast out of this world. Close to the Edge No matter if it's the Edge of rock possibilities or worlds created in Yes music, the title works wonderfully. Tales from Topographic Oceans These oceans are the deepest in Yes catalogue and seem largely unexplored, even to this day. Trespass It's like entering the place a modern wasn't supposed to see. Nursery Cryme Selling England by the Pound Perfect titles for Genesis brand of Edwardian Rock, as well as commentary on days long gone. Really like these two. Thick as a Brick Mysterious yet funny, typical Ian Anderson creation. Minstrel in the Gallery Songs from the Wood Quite obvious in its meaning, but both albums deliver exactly what's promised. Pawn Hearts Unfortunately the "horn parts/porn hearts" story spoiled it a bit, but I always liked pondering on this one. Brain Salad Surgery Would be more fitting for a technical thrash metal band, but Moog spins & whirls will do. Si On Avait Besoin D'Une Cinquième Saison My French knowledge is zilch, but the title makes sense once put in Google translator. Love it. Ommadawn Amarok Whatever they mean, both are extremely haunting and oldfieldesque. Five Miles Out Great interplay between the title, album cover and Mike's state of mind. Script for a Jester's Tear I have a knack for jesters, can't help it. Ze Słowem Biegnę do Ciebie (SBB) Intimate, romantic, meaningful. Vemod Swedish meaning from Wiktionary: "calm feeling that something emotionally (positively) significant is over and never will be back". Not a better word to describe Anekdoten's music at the time.

While the new album by the Marillion side project Edison's Children "The Disturbance Fields" is one of the coolest names for an album i've ever heard and i love the visual imagery of "Lullaby's from a Car Crash" by Bjorn Riis
Nothing beats the original album title Edison's Children's "In The Last Waking Moments..." best album title ever |

Let's make Prog a family again. Tired of Snobbery and trolling. We all have a right to love what and who we love so lets respect and appreciate all who care about the finest music in the world... prog
