Never heard anything from it, but from what I hear, Mr. Bungle's debut would represent my completely random taste in music.

It would have to be something heavy, symphonic, melodic, and complex so probably something by Genesis, Rush, or possibly Yes. For instance:

Rush - 2112/Hemispheres
Genesis - Foxtrot/The Lamb
Yes - Close To The Edge

That changes very frequently, actually. Some are more applicable than others at times, but the most consistent ones I'd say are:

Red by King Crimson

Lamb by Genesis

Unfolded Like Staircase by Discipline

ADHD by Riverside

Images and Words by Dream Theater

Pawn Hearts by VDGG

There are tracks form other albums that do that too, but these are the ones that through and through seem very indicative of my personality and experiences.

I've always liked prog with a strong melody line throughout the songs so I've usually gravitated to symph, heavy prog, eclectic and proto prog...and of course Canterbury that has memorable melodies.
To choose only one LP is very difficult.......ITCOTCK comes to mind but also SEBTP, CTTE, ELP, etc.....

In my case it's impossible to choose, besides it depends on my mood of the day. At the very moment I would choose a "mix" of three albums from ELOY: Dawn, The Power and The Passion,  and Silent Cries and Mighty Echoes.

This is one of the tougher questions in the forum, but I'm beginning to think mine might be this:



Besides being a pretty perfect album, it also represents the wide array of my tastes - art rock, art punk, guitar counterpoint, pretty guitars, ugly guitars, weird voices, lovely voices, harmonies, dissonances, psychedelic shoegazy, avant garde noise, and an overall fondness for the new (e.g. post-punk) as well as the old (e.g. Krautrock, other prog).  Progressive just as a natural by-product of being curious and talented at the same time.

Chris Squire's Fish Out of Water. Came out at an adventurous time for me, prog-wise, as a serious effort in itself just after the '73-'74 cavalcade of wondrous works by others (prog and non-prog). Everything in the production was centered on Squire's bass, making it a novel effort. Wonderfully overproduced which is a plus for most in the prog scheme of things. A unique stamp on all things Yes, and a nice bookend to their Relayer the same year. All in all, one of the pinnacles of the prog listening experience (I don't give diddly what any of the album's detractors has to say).

In regards to the way I act I'm pretty sure Thick As A Brick would be accurate. At least, I like to hope I act the way I'm thinking I like to act. Ahh I'm getting confused.
