As for me, I have never heard a Flower Kings or Dream Theater album. I've also never heard a post-Fish Marillion album apart from Seasons End. I do have a Transatlantic album though.

You'll live!

Agreed :)

Everybody has it's own essentials, most of mine are in the 70's.

So get to it.

Never listened to Opeth all the way through.

In Lazland, life is transient. Prog is permanent.

I have missed pretty much the entire RPI category so far aside from a couple of PFMs.

VDGG - Godbluff and Still Life.

Anglagard - Hybris or Epilog

Peter Hammill - The Silent Corner and the Empty Stage (and many of his other solo works)

Harmonium - Si On Avait...

Mike Oldfield - Ommadawn

Bacamarte - Depois De Fim

Focus - Hamburger Concerto (and most of their other albums)

Bubu - Anabelas

Frank Zappa - much of his discography.

Hatfield and the North - S/t and Rotters' Club.

Hawkwind - most of Hawkwind, aside from Blood on The Earth, Hall of the Mountain Grill and In Search of Space.

I am sure there are quite a few others but these are what i can think of as far as "major" misses. I referenced the PA top 100 to compile the list.

EDIT: Also thought of others:

Steve Hackett - Voyage of the Acoltyte

Can - Tago Mago

Kate Bush - Hounds of Love (recently purchased though so will be able to check off of the list.)

Wishbone Ash - Argus

On the flipside, I can say that I recently listened to Mirage from Camel for the very first time. There was also a second classic album that I recently listened to for the very first time which I was going to include in this edit, but I'll be damned if I can remember what it was now that I am typing it.

Getting old does wonders for one's......oh what do you call that thing again? EDIT EDIT: Now I remember, it was In the Land of Grey and Pink by Caravan.

When I first read this thread I though what a strange little concept and an odd thing to brag about, then remembered that I've never seen Jaws or The Sound Of Music and for good reason too: I don't want to. So, sure there are albums I haven't heard because I don't want to, and that probably would encompass Kansas and Steely Dan and Miles Davis... But mostly when there is an album or band that intrigues me I will track it down and give it a fair listen. Of the recent years I haven't heard any Haken, but I like To-Mera so do I need to? Probably not enough to make me want to.

Dean brings up an interesting point - do our responses to this thread constitute "bragging", or are they just token attempts at self-effacing charm? Me, I'm still holding my cards close to my chest.

My other avatar is a Porsche

Only listing ones I intend to here...

King Crimson - Beat, Three of a Perfect Pair, Thrak, In The Wake, Islands, Starless (own this one, just haven't got around to it)

Jethro Tull - Aqualung, Songs from the Wood, Minstrel in the Gallery (own two of these as well)

Beardfish - debut

RPI - anything by Banco, PFM, Area

RIO - I need three more Henry Cow, any Sammla, a fair amount of UZ still.

Coming Soon

Yeah I didn't listen to Samla, neither.

I suppose it could be interpreted as bragging as it implies that I have heard everything else but x, y, and z. Personally, I thought of it more as a

moment, as in how can I be a regular on a prog site and not have heard x, y, and z. And the expected response was "Damn Scott, you haven't heard that????? You really must because it will blow your socks into tomorrow."
