Here's three fantastic rock albums that all have some proggy elements in the mix. I rate all of these 5 stars in Prog Related but I couldn't possibly choose between them. I'll try to vote, but I gotta relisten to all of these and reevaluate first ------------- The sun has left the sky... ...Now you can close your eyes |

Not sure that Burn is particularly proggy but it is my favourite DP album and I'm torn between that and Argus, don't really know the BOC one. I will give it some thought.

If I could only keep one it would be Secret Treaties...but I like Argus quite a bit.......never cared much for DP and certainly not Burn. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

| I like argus a lot and the ash were a fine live band but secret treaties has astronomy and flaming telepaths on it. No contest. Burn is a rock album. |

Regarding Burn, I don't think it's a prog album, but I feel like it's a rock album that prog fans would really like if that makes sense. I kinda feel the same about the other two, though Argus is pretty darn progressive if you ask me. ------------- The sun has left the sky... ...Now you can close your eyes |

Secret Treaties!!!  Man...ME 262 alone lays waste to anything on either of the two albums. Throw in some Dominance and Submission and you have yourself a first rate ass kicking of two otherwise good albums.. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

I'm trying really hard Ringo to be the Sheppard but I don't even if I did my pandemic afflicted lettuce the whole Jerry Curl thing, whipped out my 'bad motherf**ker' wallet and waved around my 50 AE (9mils are for pussies and Hollywood actors).. it wouldn't do any good the people on this forum are beyond saving man.. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

A great trio of albums in their own way, which have been played to excess at times in the past. However, have to go for Wishbone Ash's finest moment on this one. Argus is timeless. ------------- “Living in their pools, they soon forget about the sea.” |

Argus for me. Interesting that Argus was from 1972 the other two from 1974 ------------- I'm sorry, if you were right, I'd agree with you. Robin Williams. |

Three non-prog albums that I love and still listen to sometimes. I think Argus is the one I prefer ------------- Curiosity killed a cat, Schroedinger only half. My poor home recorded stuff at https://yellingxoanon.bandcamp.com |

Argus is timeless and one of half a dozen albums I consider to be almost perfect. Burn is pretty good but BOC do nothing for me. ------------- A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life. |

Burn... I'll be honest, I never really understood the hype around Argus ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson |

Argus from these three, but it's by far WA's best album (their first two follow, the rest....  )Burn is second on the list, but there are at least 4 Purple albums ahead of it Treaties is by a margin BOC's best ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

If you don't take David Coverdale's lyrics into account (which is easy to do), the title track and "Might Just Take Your Life" can both singlehandedly lay waste to everything the other two bands ever accomplished. BURN, by light years.
