Topic: PA's Top 10 Compared To Yours Posted: July 20 2014 at 06:36 |
Just curious to see how similar your personal top 10 is with the one on ProgArchives. Multiple voting allowed, so vote for all the albums.
My top 10 would be:
1. Genesis - Trespass 2. Supertramp - Crime Of The Century 3. Genesis - Foxtrot 4. Procol Harum - Shine On Brightly 5. Genesis - The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway 6. Pavlov's Dog - Pampered Menial 7. Genesis - Selling England By The Pound 8. VDGG - Pawn Hearts 9. Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon 10. Yes - Close To The Edge
So 4 in there - looking forward to yours!

im familiar with all of these except for Godbluff.... sry. anyway, here's my top 10 as of late:
1. The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band 2. Yes - Close to the Edge 3. Pink Floyd - The Dark Side of the Moon 4. The Beatles - Abbey Road 5. Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here 6. The Who - Who's Next 7. Led Zeppelin - Houses of the Holy 8. Rush - 2112 9. King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King 10. Genesis - A Trick of the Tail
honorable mentions to everything else except for the last choice and some of Red, but ill probably be a fan of it later on as well as King Crimson themselves lol REMINDER: this could change DRASTICALLY (except for the top 3) some other day.

My 'top ten' changes daily, so I guess I can't vote. Today it would look something like this: Floyd - Pompeii SBB - Karlstad Caravan - In the Land of Grey and Pink Amon Düül ll - Wolf City Can - Tago Mago COS - Viva Boma Popol Vuh - In den Gärten Pharaohs Area - Crac! Premiata Forneria Marconi - L'Isola di Niente Setna - Guérison ( this was a long time coming, mostly down to me forgetting I had it, but wow has it ever transformed! This is THE album that will get the average prog fan to listen to Zeuhl! Or it should be, I don't see why this wouldn't appeal to a wider crowd than it seems to be reaching. Think melodic jazz rock with interchanging rhythmic female scat singing and these beautiful ethereal bursts coupled together with the most wavy and smooth rhythm section I have laid my ears on in later times. Add to that some almost Floydian guitar moments that quite simply sends shivers down my spine.)

^ Nice list David. My top-10 is buried deep in the AZ somewhere, I doubt it's changed much - I recall picking the English versions of PFM (or was it Le Orme) over the original Italian lyrics simply because I happen to like them slightly more.

Thanks. I have actually never heard the English version to be perfectly honest with you. I kinda like being kept in the "dark" in terms of lyrical content whenever I listen to my RPI. The vocals become an instrument and seems to be able to mean the world and everything outside of it. Double ninja'd by the Cheese I was of course replying to Dean's post.
