When Camel were deciding what to do after Mirage, Pete Bardens suggested a concept album based on Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse. Eventually, they went with Doug Ferguson's suggestion of The Snow Goose instead, but they did record two tracks based on the Hesse novel - Autumn and Riverman - which are exquisite.
My regret is that they didn't complete that album at some point. It would not have exactly been a clone of The Snow Goose, but I'm certain it would have been a worthy addition to their discography.

I would have liked to see Ambrosia continue down the path they began with their first two albums, rather than go down the path of least resistance.

ELP - Trilogy.
I still don't fully understand the whole "We have to be able to play it note for note live" mentality they adopted after that one. Although the complexity of overdubbed keyboard parts would be challenging, I still believe they could have done an excellent job of presenting the music live.
I did sound for a two piece band (keys and drums) and they played Santana, ELP, Genesis and a host of others through the magic of arrangements. The band sounded full. I can recall countless times when people asked "Where's the rest of the band hiding" or "They must use pre-taped backing tracks" which they didn't.
God I love the energy of that album. I can't think of one recording that's like it. If you can, let me know, I'd love to hear it.

Well, there's the new Return to Ommadawn, which I guess is the closest you'll ever get to having a clone of the first one. Actually, it does feature many equivalent segments. And even though Ommadawn is still Oldfield's best album for me, the new one is magnificent all the same.

The title track alone. For me, the finest work of the band, and Keith Emerson's masterpiece.

Gentle Giant's Acquiring the Taste comes to mind. The twilight atmosphere of the album is something I really enjoy and the sound of the album is something I haven't found elsewhere. Even though Acquiring the Taste is certainly versatile enough so that I don't seem to get bored of it, I wouldn't mind another album in the same vein. As much as I like some of their later albums as well (especially the live performances), the technical wackiness seemed to overpower the calmer and more mystical sound of AtT a bit too completely.

I would have loved another Hemispheres or Farewell To Kings.

Tubular Bells........ Oh, I forgot - he did......several times! Sorry, couldn't resist.
On another note, I really wish Dream Theater had kept up with the Images and Words style. Awake didn't reach that peak and really only Scenes came close to that style again.

Would be nice if a modern prog band would be able to truly match the patience, skill and ambition of Tales From Topographic Oceans...
