Big Ones then, and now? II

 Anyway , went with Pink Floyd Here.

ELP - a great album, one of their top 5, but that's in a discography which may not have more than 5 great albums, and it's not one of the higher ones.

Genesis - love some tracks on this, others are the definition of CD era filler, and coincidentally those are the ones Phil could've just done solo.

Moody Blues - haven't heard this one... is it any good?

Pink Floyd - I think I listened to it once... not bad but I doubt it competes with...

King Crimson - I can't add anything to the discussion around this album. I can only argue that, while it might make nice spa music, the majority of Moonchild is among their least compelling instrumentals. On top of that, as beautiful as they are, Epitaph and ITCOTCK are a bit long and repetitive. Just a little bit! Classic though. All time classic.

Yes - Oh the controversial one. The prog head's dream, the RS critic's worst nightmare. The one album that heard every insult lobbed against progressive music by people who were never going to understand it in the first place, and decided to give those haters an actual case. ... it's pretty sick. Not quite my favorite from Yes, but these five guys are near the top of their game all across these four epics. The compositions spiral and twirl into one interesting, compelling, thrilling, soothing section after another, like wandering through a museum as a child with your imaginary friends in a spaceship. The melodies, where they appear, are every bit as fantastic as those of the previous three records. It's just a great album. Perhaps even greater than KC's debut. It gets my vote.
