*sigh*
Another good thread ruined by stupid, idiotic, mindless album-cover spamming. Topic "unwatched". Thanks.  |

Yes, you do take up extreme amounts of space without contributing much. Although you're always on topic, you sabotage threads exactly like someone spamming. Perhaps you could fit most of your suggestions into one post instead, and not necessarily include the album art for each suggestion?

Yeah this is getting out of hand
Svetonio: I seem to remember advising you to cut back on the endless 'spamming' (clarification: stop it!). Either you don't read too well - or you simply don't care. Fact of the matter is that you overpost just about every thread you come near with pics and links with little to no communication happening. I know you don't think your English lingo is up to speed, but it'd be nice if you at least made an effort to be part of the community instead of being this lone gunman that clutters everything in spam. Now more than ever does it feel as if you're doing this out of spite, which probably is the poorest platform of all to build anything constructive on.
I think I've given you your 'last' warning 2 or 3 times now, so you probably think of me as a woos who doesn't have the balls to show you the door. Well keep on doing this, and we'll very quickly find out.

Oh, and Asia's ST debut is much better than the lemon most people rate it as.

Very few Prog bands hit the ground running, most take a couple of albums to get into their stride and a lot of the early Prog bands didn't start out as Prog (as we know it). Script For a Jester's Tear was a great début that Marillion equalled but never surpassed; The Enid's In The Region Of The Summer Stars was another. De-Loused in the Comatorium is probably The Mars Volta's strongest album IMO. UK never improved on their eponymous début nor did Renaissance, (again, IMO). I would nominate Transatlantic's SMPTe and Ant Philip's The Geese And The Ghost, but I've not heard much of their other releases. |
Good call on TMV, but I'd have to disagree on Renaissance and Transatlantic (Bridge Across Forever trounces the debut imo).

I am one of those that prefers Fugazi over Script, but then again that seems to be part of the minority (although I think most folks, at least here on PA, largely hear Misplaced Childhood as their defining moment).
I do however think there is some truth to what Dean said about Script never being surpassed only equalled.

V was Spock's Beard's best. |
Agree. |
They are both at the top of the SB catalog. Hard for me to pick one over the other.

I could argue a case for Lone Star's debut, although the follow is brilliant and they only made 3 or 4 albums anyway.
Wandering off the prog path slightly, for me the ultimate debut album that was never surpassed is Montrose. Van Halen is another prime example.

I didn't know PA had rules about not mentioning bands/albums not included in the archive. I'm fully aware these aren't considered prog but the opening poster didn't specify it had to be, so I simply wrote down the ones I could think of. Anyway had all these bands continued in the style of their debut they might actually have been here somewhere. Yes, even Tiny Tim.
I tried to be as polite in my post as possible but I obviously managed to hurt your feelings anyway. That wasn't my intention.
