I'am going with Gentle Giant BUT Hamburger Concerto has a special place in my heart and lately I've been coming to listen Robert Wyatt and understanding his sound. ------------- - From each according to his ability, to each according to his need. |

I pick "King Crimson - RED" BUT this is not mean that I don't like other albums in this list or RED is better than some of them! IMO The Lamb , Mirage and Relayer are "Masterpiece" with no doubt , and after them Focus and Hammill and PFM albums are "Great". RED have more stuff that fit for my ears and I vote to it.

None of those: Queen II. From those I guess its "The Lamb". I'd say "Relayer" if side 2 was a bit superior, but it ain't THAT great. Side 1 is better than anything else on the poll. Mirage, Red and Crime are amazing as well. ------------- I shook my head and smiled a whisper knowing all about the place |

Extremely hard, but I go for Red, an album which should have launched Crimson as a massive worldwide band until Uncle Bob decided to run away. It is an album cited as an influence by so many influential rock bands outside of prog. ------------- Enhance your life. Get down to www.lazland.org |

I'm usually in agreement with you on most things, but on this, I'm not. I just cannot stand Red at all. My top 5 would be 1) Mirage 2) Hamburger Concerto 3) Relayer 4) The Lamb 5) Crime of the Century ------------- A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life. |

| Between Mirage and Hamburger Concerto... just over Red (and Relayer, which has the incredible Gates of Delirium). I guess I'm giving a slight edge to Hamburger Concerto, but I do love Mirage too. |

easy one there... eliminate the horrifically overrated popular bands and you are left with 3 real gems Going with the Focus album.. symphonic prog generally sucks.. but that album is priceless. the Wyatt album and PFM round out the best of the lot... ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

Some nice things on that list....Red for me being a KC fan..... as an aside I simply don't get all the love for Supertramp's Crime...I have always thought it was a very basic album and not all that progressive. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

Neo yes, but symphonic? Yes, Genesis, ELP, Camel, Kansas, Harmonium, Focus, Renaissance, etc. I'd say maybe it's the prog subgenre that produced the best bands. ------------- I shook my head and smiled a whisper knowing all about the place |

| Crimson,Camel or Yes. Tough choice. Crimsons Red is a much loved album and has Starless on it. But Yes's Relayer grabbed me and shook me by the (Very hard) today whilst travelling to work. There is just so much happening,so many shocking walls of sound ,twists and turns and some real beauty which breaks through here and there. It's a monster of an album. |

^Yes it is. I remember when it first came out, and I was in high school. I went with my mom to a church function at night in the middle of the week but told her I didn't feel like going inside, so I sat out in the car and turned on the radio. As it was, the local powerhouse FM rock station just happened to have the whim of playing Relayer in its entirety, and I was in time to catch the beginning. I soon became mesmerized by the journey the piece had taken me along on. Soon after it ended, I hardly noticed my mother opening the car door after her meeting. I think I was shaking like astronaut Dave Bowman at the end of his momentous ride through the heavens. Well, not quite, but I'll never forget that first experience with arguably Yes' best. ------------- "It just has none of the qualities of your work that I find interesting. Abandon [?] it." - Eno |
