Best Prog Albums: Last But Not Least

I can't remember, did you already know that one, or did I recommend them to you? I seem to remember mentioning them to someone recently on here. I was just listening to Tank Goodness. Great stuff.

Edit Peptide is killer. And what makes it better is that all the members have day jobs and make music as a hobby. How they surpass musicians who do it for a living is mind blowing.

I was introduced to Panzerballett here at PA. If it was you, much appreciated.

^ I'll go along with that too - the last two It Bites albums were much better than the first two. 

Simon Says - Tardigrade is by far their best album. It's a pity the band broke up and due to Stefan Renström's death will never reform.

Stefan Renström was the main composer/brain behind the formation. Plus, his bass and piano playing was really unique and crucial to the sound. If they reform without him, it won't be the same band.

Still no idea who you're talking about...

Genesis - ...Calling All Stations...

"Stationed after a long string of mediocre albums going back to 1970, we shall never forgive your trespasses, this is where Genesis finally found its true calling. The debut was pretty good but it got bad fast, then came calling All Stations and the revelation is how relevant it become again. Sad the band didn't create more like this, but at least it ended on a high. In sum, it is a masterpiece that shines atop a stinking and steaming pile of manure that is Genesis' past." (I.N. Sane).

Yes - The Quest

"After a long, long epic quest to make a good album, finally Yes managed to make not just a decent album, but a most excellent one! It is unQUESTionably great, so say Yes to The Quest! (A. Luna Tickman).

Really, David Bowie's Blackstar is the one that fits the brief best for me that I can think of when it comes to long careers and many albums. I won't say that it's better than a classic such as Hunky Dory (better is commonly so subjective anyway), but to me it is a superb culmination of a career and an outstanding and very significant work and worthy of positive recognition.

Good grief.....

Definitely, the only DT album without the excess, with strong arrangements, melodies and solos, that I can listen to the end without getting tired
