   Thought I would start a thread on progressive rock groups whom you feel had their greatest album being their debut record. Obviously, artists with one album only is a no brainer, but otherwise, who qualifies? From any era, or prog category....

Of course, this is pretty subjective, as beauty "is in the eye of the beholder"...

My entries for prog groups whose best, for me, is their debut, are:

King Crimson
Mahavishnu Orchestra
Brainstorm
Libra
Dedalus
Beggar's Opera
Atomic Rooster
Spyro Gyra
Synergy
Badger
Ambrosia
Flash
Pell Mell
Starcastle
Alan Parsons Project

For me, it's a tie with Audion. Both get played more than the others (but they're far from left out).

I'd agree with you about Libra, but I love Schock (with future Goblin alum Maurizio Guarini).
