Go ahead and pick your nose.

I decided to make this compilation of studio albums despite it being a nary impossible task to choose a true favourite/ standout for many of these years.  I avoided live albums and compilations but cheated with choice 24.   There are a couple that I have only listened to samples of, but like what I heard.

I'd be interested to hear of your top five of these -- if you're familiar with enough of them to do so.  Though the list is fairly eclectic, judging my my choices, I hope to hear of some recommendations.

I voted PFM's 1972 album but my countryman, the late M. A. ARAUJO deserves a mention, the album is fine and the title is great: "When The Luck Releases You A Swan In The Night".

Storia without a question. Greatest Italian prog album of all time IMO.

I've been listening to it a great deal, particularly since that Eskaton vs. Dun poll.

Familiar, and love most of these albums. My top five (the spesific albums, not bands) from here is probably something like this:
1 Magma
2 Gentle Giant
3 Eskaton
4 PFM
5 Hellebore
Over land and under ashes
In the sunlight, see - it flashes
Find a fly and eat his eye
But don't believe in me
Don't believe in me
Don't believe in me

1)  Hamburger Concerto      one of the best prog albumClap
2) Soft Machine vol1              where it all started
3) Pulsar      strands              the exceptional writing overcomes cheap production
4) Magma   kobaias              they're created their own sound; there is only one Magma
5) Art Zoyd  Berlin                  they're from another world
 
Whoa!! 3 french band out of 5; they're good!!
 
Logan! congrats for the list; finally one without the usual suspects!!!Thumbs%20Up

There are many interesting albums issued between 1968-1992.

Why not PULSAR "The Strands of the Future" (1976)? Thumbs%20Up
