What do you think the best prog album titles are, independent of the actual music on the album? Titles that make you think or move you in themselves or that just sound awesome.
Some of my favorites: The Light That Dwells In Rotten Wood (Falls of Rauros) The Earth is Not a Cold Dead Place (Explosions In the Sky) Lateralus (Tool) Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven (GY!BE) Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (The Beatles) Feel Euphoria (Spock's Beard) Larks' Tongues in Aspic (King Crimson) Edited by Earendil - March 01 2013 at 18:11 |

I tried disregarding music as well as cover art, which was very tough to do.
Yes - Tales from Topographic Oceans Porcupine Tree - The Sky Moves Sideways Van Der Graaf Generator - The Least We Can Do Is Wave to Each Other King Crimson - Larks' Tongues in Aspic King Crimson - Starless and Bible Black Genesis - Wind and Wuthering Dream Theater - Systematic Chaos |

I like the titles
Dream Theater-Black Clouds & Silver Linings Genesis-Wind & Wuthering Gentle Giant-The Power & The Glory  It is has a good ring to it and the album cover is brilliant in my opinion Edited by ProgMetaller2112 - March 03 2013 at 00:51 |

Jazz-rock conspiracy? Zappa and Miles played at the same festivals in the summer of '69 right BEFORE Hot Rats AND Bitches Brew were recorded. |
