^ Really? "Good but non-essential" for my favorite album is silly? Did you know that there are tons of members here who went as far as to give their favorite albums a three?

Actually i haven't seen or heard anyone else. That doesn't change my opinion of it being silly.
Sorry if it offends you.

So many albums I cherish, but if I have to come up with one, it would be (for now at least) this :
Discovered Ayreon 3 years ago with this album, and I instantly fell in love with it, it encompasses everything I love about prog. To these ears, it's an absolute masterpiece !

I am currently digging:
Hawkwind, Rare Bird, Gong, Tangerine Dream, Khan, Iron Butterfly, and all things canterbury and hard-psych. I also love jazz! Please drop me a message with album suggestions. |

N-n-n-NOT POSSIBLE!!!
I No kinna' duit, Captain!! The prog-engines in my mind can't take the stress!! I am surprised that a number of Yes fans value Tales over Relayer. Cha-cha-cha.
