Oh I didn’t realise NiN was Progressive  . I’ll give it a spin on YouTube.

^ Nice sounds but I’m finding the whole thing a bit of a downer. Still I lasted 25 minutes before putting the Young Gods Second Nature on instead.

^ Interesting - you seem to have gone for the more musical music whereas I think it was Eno’s electronic noise on those Roxy Music albums that influenced me at an early age. And I love Tomorrow Never Knows and Family’s “Voyage”.

Love The Zodiac-album. Ever heard this 1969-cover version of Aries? Far out enough in a Arthur Brown-way to be interesting I think. |

Wow I never thought anyone would cover The Zodiac! That track is rather good and Arthurian  . Ha - “Giants of Jazz Radio” webradio has just started playing “Fire” as I type!What A Blast is a relatively new acquisition so the list could change. It wasn’t that easy though to find 25 prog albums I enjoyed every track of that much. It stands out from the other TD albums though, it’s much heavier, more dramatic and varied. I love the way “Dream Sculpture” starts all New Age choirs then jets scream over and thrash guitars start up. It’s very odd they gave the best material to some obscure film soundtrack. All the tracks are on YouTube individually if you look them up from Prog Archives or Voices In The Net. If you want to buy a copy do searches for both “What A Blast” and also “Architecture In Motion”. Edited by 2dogs - April 13 2019 at 12:09 |

^ I notice Genesis have crept in. Is that because you’ve just rated it?

yeah, I can imagine "Pawn Hearts" and "The Fall of the House of Usher" not to be to your liking. you belong to that bunch of infidels that refuse to accept that "Peter Hammill is God"
 (Friede and I actually saw a guy in a t-shirt with that inscription at a PH concert. when we talked to him he told us that he follows him from concert to concert all over the world) |

probably hasn't changed much since the last ones done in various threads..
no particular order only in as they come to me.. which means in some half assed way.. they are in order 1. Osanna - Palepoli. by no means the greatest prog album ever done.. you have to be English to get that nod for great impact and influence.. but quality.. sh*t. they got little on the master of music themselves. The Italians. May not ever be in a grts prog album list but to these ears the best and most creative prog album ever done. It had it all.. and then some. More creative than pretty much anything anyone did..and oh.. it f**kING ROCKS!!! 2. Yes - Tales - said enough about it 3a - Balletto di Bronzo - the single darkest, hardest and heaviest prog.. sh*t.. rock album ever done. Some have considered it the best prog album ever made. I wouldnt' go quite that far.. a bit too monochromatic to really consider it that. But what really is not debatable it his hands down the best keyboard based rock album ever recorded. 3b. Franco Battiato - Sulle Corde di Aries - toss copy of this into my casket before I go up in flames.. for I hear the beer tastes like piss in hell and I might as well have something great to listen to down there. A truly spiritual listen.. was thefirst time I heard it. .still is today. 5. Can - Soon over Babaluma - Talk about an album crashing the Mick Fav album party over the last few years. While YS was a call to action for your balls, Sulle Corde for the heart... this one is for one's head. 6. ADII - Yeti 7. Talk Talk - Spirit of Eden 8. Magma - Kobaia 9. Dungen - Tio Bitar 10. ELO - ELO2 11. Radiohead - OK Computer 12. Popol Vuh - Hosianna Mantra 13. Captain Beyond - S/T 14. UT Gret - Ancestor's Tale 15. Bo Hansson - Lord the Rings 16. Yes - Close to the Edge 17. PFM - Storia di un Minuto 18. BOC - Secret Treaties 19. Guapo - Elixers 20. Le Orme - Uomo di Pezza

Nice list micky, on Balletto di Bronzo I'd call UZ - Heresie & Shub Niggurath - Les Mort Vont Vite are certainly darker & Electric Masada - At The Mountains Of Madness is certainly heavier.
