21st Century Schizoid man (King Crimson) is the most defnita answer for me.

I would add "Close to the Edge" to that list and maybe also "Thick as a Brick" but those are all good examples.

I thought since the original poster didn't really specify a certain number, I'd stick with my most obvious 3 choices. I definitely would have added Close to the Edge and A Passion Play to that list. I'm one of those guys who likes APP more than TaaB, and it really is a tad proggier than Brick so

For me, it's personal. I was 14 when I went to my first gig, which was Genesis with Peter Gabriel on vocals. It changed my life permanently. So for me it has to be Return of the Giant Hogweed. I saw Steve Hackett perform it recently, and it still brings me out in goosebumps. Looking back over the adventures/misadventures I've had throughout the decades since, I don't know whether to curse Peter Gabriel or bless him!!!

All of those are great examples. Tales from Topographic Oceans, Thick as A Brick, and The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway are immediate standouts to me. I remember blasting Tales on the way to band practice a few years back. Nothing but long backroads through NH, and that record was perfect for that ride. I believe I got acquainted with that album at such time; I remember the first time Wakeman's synth came in on "The Revealing Science of God" right after the intro, and it was like a whole other level. It's since become synonymous with journeying for me. |
Yeah, me too. The LAMB definitely jumps out at me a lot. Epitomized Prog listening. Early Genesis in general. From 1971 to 1977 is ideal proggy examples to me as well.
