^ Yep I'd say it's pretty fair - I wonder how long it would take us to come up with a definitive top 50 prog albums on this forum!

I suggest we ask PPaul to start a thread where everyone votes for their favourite 100 albums in order and then he does some maths

Yes for me no CAN on the list is sacrilegious......they should all be stoned, tar and feathered (in any order).

That could take awhile, although I'm up for the challenge, having just finished listing every British prog album from 1967 thru' to 1980.

But where's the list? When I click on the site all I get this:
"We were only talking the other day about the possibility of rock music — in the next 10 years — really developing into a higher art form," Jon Anderson told Sounds in 1971, the year Yes released two prog-rock classics, The Yes Album and Fragile. "Rock musicians will make music that will last a hell of a lot longer in the future." He was right on two levels. As bands like Yes, Genesis and King Crimson flourished in the late '60s and early '70s, adding classical structure and jazz chops to their amplified rock, their compositions began to swell in the literal sense: Epic pieces like "Supper's Ready" and "Close to the Edge" were long enough to warrant bathroom breaks. But that period remains the genre's golden age for a reason: Before go-to prog moves bred tropes, before imitators ran amok and watered everything down, these artists experimented without a rule book. That messiness and wildness makes prog a tricky genre to pin down. Symphonic prog, heavy prog, prog-pop, avant-prog, the Canterbury Scene, RIO, Zeuhl, progressive electronic, folk-prog, jazz-fusion— at a certain point, it's almost easier to say what doesn't qualify. And even as the genre's more traditional sounds have fallen out of fashion, others have emerged from the indie and metal worlds, giving the mutating movement new life. All of this to say: In some ways, it's easy to pick the Top 50 Progressive Rock Albums. Many of the entries toward the top of our list are unimpeachable. But also: It's almost impossible. There's so much, in such varied styles, that you automatically exclude hundreds of essential titles by imposing an arbitrary numerical limit. Even if you disagree with some of these choices — and let's face it, you're gonna — we hope you'll approach our list as a platform for discovery. And isn't "discovery" the point of prog anyway? Top 50 Progressive Rock AlbumsFrom 'The Lamb' to 'Octopus' to 'The Snow Goose' — the best LPs that dream beyond 4/4. |

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

As a person who only recently discovered the music on this album as a result of the recent "Hybris vs. Per Un Amico" poll, I highly recommend this album. |

^ Danke Schoen. Anyone's Daughter sound like my kind of band, and the Prog-Rock Top 50 is a great way to discover new music. After all, I only know half the albums in the list.

Paul, You don't know Moving Pictures? We're going to have to revoke your prog card! Seriously, check it out. It's one of my favorite albums of all time.
