yep pretty much spot on although Epitaph is very memorable as well. I suppose typical of so many great prog albums it had 3 Marquee tracks and a lot of other stuff. Perhaps Yes realised that you only ever have 3 great tracks for an album when they made CTTE Wink

What does that say about TAAB? Geek
 

It's missing 2 great tracks

Shocked

I want to hear them! lol
Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)

Not even the best King Crimson album.  Not in my top 10 list of King Crimson albums.  Nevertheless, it was a work of genius and its historical importance cannot be minimized.

Seriously....I don't think there is a 'best prog album'.

Just in case it’s not clear to everyone, Tanz der Lemminge [Aka: Dance of the Lemmings] is an album by the Krautrock band AMON DÜÜL II.

The value of its two best known pieces of music in that album, are by very far, two of the most important "anthems" of a time and place ... and then having a piece about talking in the wind and (of course) no one listens anyway ... specially in the more recent times, when "reading", "understanding" and "value" has been compromised and usurped by commercial concerns ... and the public continues what was described then, in many places, not only Germany, as "dance of the lemmings" because everyone was going to see the shows just for the dope and a lot less for the music!

certainly one of the most important, and an influence on so many of the best prog albums which followed.  I didn't vote because the response required is too absolute
