Topic: Your top 10 progressive LPs, all time, all styles Posted: February 18 2019 at 13:38 |
What it says on the tin. No restrictions of any kind. Your top 10 favourite albums of what you consider progressive music. Because polls are always unsatisfying, so here you can tell everyone what your top 10 are.
Mine, in no order other than alphabetical, I consider them all as No. 1.
Arena - Double Vision Arena - Songs From the Lions Cage Arena - Immortal? Arena - The Visitor Kate Bush - The Kick Inside Kate Bush - Lionheart Kate Bush - Never For Ever Cardiacs - Heaven Born & Ever Bright Cardiacs - Songs For Ships And Irons Cardiacs - The Seaside

Nice!
I tried so many times over so many years with Lark's Tongues, I just could not get into it at all. I had the CD once upon a time. I think I might have another bash at it now after the 25 plus years since I last heard it. :)

The top three are nailed on, but the others could easily be changed: Yes - Close to the Edge Yes - Relayer King Crimson - Red Genesis - Selling England by the Pound Van der Graaf Generator - Still Life King Crimson - Discipline Gentle Giant - Octopus Jethro Tull - Songs from the Wood Caravan - In the Land of Grey and Pink Camel - Mirage

Writing on this site I just need to make reviews and put the votes on the albums in order to have my ranking, in Scaruffi style. I've just started this work, so far I've put the votes on all the Beatles, Family, Gentle Giant albums, and I'm finishing King Crimson, Le Orme and Roxy Music albums. I have not yet begun that of Van der Graaf and Peter Hammill, which are among my favorites. Rock Bottom by Wyatt is one of my highest rated albums. So, for now, my work is in progress. Certainly the highest marks I think will be those of the twentieth century albums.
Anyway,
1 Beatles - Abbey Road 2 Beatles - Sgt Pepper 3 Doors - The Doors 4 Van der Graaf - Pawn Hearts 5 Wyatt - Rock Bottom 6 King Crimson - In The Court of... 7 Hammill - The Silent Corner 8 Beatles - White Album 9 Hammill - Chameleon 10 Buckley - Starsailor
*Consorzio Suonatori Indipendenti - Linea Gotica *Springsteen - Born To Run
