Never Heard It

Originally posted by bytor2112 I have never listened to...   Flower Kings Porcupine Tree (Except Jupiter Island and like 50 seconds of In Absentia) Spocks Beard (or any Neo-Prog for that matter) Queen Echolyn (I've just heard bits, but I liked it) Gong Tool Hawkwind Rick Wakeman (Although I own two of his albums on vinyl) Amon Duul II Faust Prog Electronic RPI Post/Math Rock Indo/Raga Experimental/Post Metal

As a rush fan i`d check out Porcupine Tree - fear of a blank planet. Alex plays guitar on anaesthetise.

For neo-prog I'd suggest IQ frequency.
Hawkwind are a mixed bag but you should check out Quark, Strangeness and charm;levitation ; Live chronicles and space ritual.
Flower kings latest Banks of Eden is quite representative.
SB both V and X are pretty nifty.

Have you heard transatlantic? Would recommend smpte and the whirlwind.

You'd better get right on that, like, now.

!! I've never heard K.A. because I always thought Magma was a little too weird for my taste, sadly =( but Scheherazade is Renaissance's best!!! A must have!! I never loved a woman singer so much. Rock Bottom always bothered me on vocals, and I always thought Banco's debut album was the best. I think a good place to start.

Oh, Per and Storia are just about the best albums ever. (if you like the instruments of Genesis, also has the 'softness' of Genesis)

But I'd really only get Hammill's solo stuff after getting all the highest-rated Graaf albums. Their great if you like Hammill.

Top 100's I have missed/avoided

Anglagard - all
Peter Hammil (solo) - all
Opeth - Still Life
VdGG - H to He, Still Life
Robert Wyatt - All
Riverside - All (I have at least sampled but didn't dig)
Caravan - All
Haerbie Hancock - Crossings
Camel - Snowgoose
Maudlin of the Well - Part the second
Nucleus - All
Tangerine Dream - Rubicon
Bubu- All
SBB - All

The rest of the top 100 I either own or have at least listened too in their entirety.

I find the only SBB album that's really a masterpiece and MUST-HAVE is Memento. That album's under the top 100 and it only has fewer than 200 ratings! A one of a kind masterpiece.

EDIT: Oh, and The Snow Goose is my favorite album of all time. But it's an acquired taste as not everyone likes the calmness of the album.

"Fish" happens to be my most favorite track on the album. The bass line in the middle ... moo-ah.

You've heard Yes, but I'm not sure if the works you've listed are "major". I've been dinged by Dean about that once.
