The only two prog albums I "received as gifts" recently were the two Van Der Graaf Generator albums I bought for myself in November and saved until Christmas Day. Smile

I gave my father Maxophone self titled a Italian prog band very good stuff. He's not the biggest progfan but the album has alot of heart in it, very vocal heavy. I am trying to convert him to listen to more prog. i mean he did grow up in the 70's so he knows prog, just not a huge fan like I haha.

None. I recently found a 'Tormato' LP at a record shop, and despite everyone's feelings about that album, I still enjoy the hell out of it. Especially 'Arriving UFO'. So I was happy I found it.

I got 2 DVDs:
Oysterband - 25th Anniversary Concert (not prog but brilliant)
Horslips - Return of the Dancehall Sweethearts (a documentary of the band, which really brings home why they are the most important Irish band of all time, bar none).
A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life.
