Great Annihilator is neither of those things.

Not really a fan of the earlier stuff  The newer stuff doesn't feel as stretched out or sort of immature IMO.

Same!  But I don't know if my Christian parents would approve of an album called "666" with a track like "Infinity" on it 
More to the point, not a huge Aphrodite's Child fan myself

And what are you talking about Horizons, about getting more modern prog in there. He has Presto. What more does he need? Actually, Gazpacho isn't a bad idea (their latest Demon is pretty darn cool). |
Heh Counterparts is better than that by miles, so might as well stretch the date limit a bit.
And yes, i agree. Demon is very interesting. Scandinavian textures and atmospheres throughout the album really give it a unique sound. It isn't their strongest release, The Wizard could be thrown away and possibly not even replaced and it would be a more enjoyable album, but still an album without any reason to be disappointed.

if you haven't done your favorite prog album of all time, you should do that!! OR, do another one of the top 10 PA albums or something. but especially the former choice.
oh by the way (hehehe, Floyd reference), i can't get that link to load dude.

Thanks for all the suggestions, some pretty good ones in here I've forgotten about (The Strawbs, Comus, Colosseum, for example) which I'll probably give another listen. Never been a fan of Zeuhl or jazz rock (except from Colosseum for some reason). Been thinking about Gentle Giant (listened to Free Hand a couple of days ago), but "The Power And The Glory" is the only one that strikes a real chord with me. For GG, there's an obvious thread of progression throughout their albums (for me at least), and "In A Glass House" is a bit too unexciting, and "Free Hand" has sort of lost the melodies and power, but is otherwise better written.
Some more thoughts I had included "Valtari" (nod to Horizons there), "Field Day" which I'm told is great but don't want to be too disappointed, "At The Sound Of The Bell" (leading at the moment), "Invisible Touch", Peter Gabriel's "Melt" (also pretty high up there), and King Crimson's "Beat" among others.
Again, thanks for all the feedback guys!!
