The deserted Island Dilemma

I can't really say that for all of their stuff, but BTCS is very progressive. So dark, brooding, and epic...it's probably my second favorite DMB disc behind Under The Table And Dreaming. E

It's my favourite bar none. UTTAD is up there, Crash is a tad better maybe imo.

I've often wondered if Dave should almost be prog related or something. Can't be bothered to press the issue though...

Your list has a very positive feel to it, One, Snow, Live in America, Brave, Stardust are we, but Dark Matter of all of them seems to be the...er...darkest."The hand of God defends America!" Seems pretty positive at first glance, but is it antagonistically facetious?

Gaston,

Aside from the first 3 entries, this list is very organic and could change in 10 minutes (if it hasn't already).

Actually, the three CD's by Marillion are pretty dark in and of themselves. Brave is a given because of it's subject matter and how there's a 'grit' about it; however, Afraid Of Sunlight is very melancholy and painful. In some ways, it could be even darker than Brave, in spite of it's airy and ethereal sound. And as for Marbles, there's a theme throughout the disc that has a dark mysticism about it. Hogarth has said that it wasn't intentional, but the songs on Marbles have a correlation that borders insanity or losing one's 'marbles'.

The rest, however, are a bit light in nature. Maybe with the exception of Moving Pictures.

Wow, this might change every day!,

but I Think It'd be something like this (in no particular order):

1. Anglagard - Hybris
2. Genesis - Selling England By The Pound
3. Sinkadus - Aurum Nostrum
4. Renaissance - Sheherazade and Other Stories
5. Harmonium - Si on Avait Besoin d'une Cinquième Saison
6. Yes - Close To The Edge
7. Gentle Giant - In A Glass House
8. Pink Floyd - Atom Heart Mother
9. King Crimson - In The Court Of The Crimson King
10. Mike Oldfield - Hergest Ridge

There's a lot more just behind them but I can't write them (based on this thread: only ten !!)

-Peace

I know, I know, it's only stuff that is prog and prog related; but, I hear a lot of progressive tendencies in their music. Especially "Don't Drink The Water", "Spoon", and "The Dreaming Tree". Man, I need to break that disc out more often. E

    1.

King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King.2

Supertramp - Crime of the Century. 3.

Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells 4.

Genesis - Selling England By the Pound

5.

Jethro Tull - Minstel in the Gallery 6.

Marillion - Afaid of Sunlight 7.

Marillion - Script for a Jester's Tear 8.

Electric Light Orchestra - Eldorado 9.

Van Der Graaf Generator - H to He 10.

Spock's Beard - The Light

from what i have now:
1 An Evening With John Petrucci and Jordan Rudess
2 Symphony X - Divine Wings of Tragedy
3 Spock's Beard - Octane
4 Genesis - Foxtrot
5 Genesis - A Trick of the Tail
6 Dream Theater - Octavarium
7 Dream Theater - Live at Budokan(CD)
8 Kamelot - Karma
9 Opeth - Damnation
10 Green Carnation - Light of Day, Day of Darkness

I made a mistake on mine. I put Transatlantic's Live In America, but I meant to put Live In Europe.

ORDER ADJUSTABLE

 

1. UmmaGumma - Floyd

2. Meddle - Floyd

If it wasn't just prog then there would be some Aphex Twin and Jazz in there. Probably at the expense of TMV and DT
