If you were only allowed one album to listen to, for the rest of your life ... which would you choose. Only list one ... as difficult as that will be. Jethro Tull - Songs From The Wood ------------- We who explore, willfully depart absolute reality for a time. |

Neil Young -- Everybody Knows This is Nowhere. I rate it as the greatest album ever made, so I'd have to choose this one. Not prog, but oh well. |

MAN!!! this is extremely hard. I guess if I HAD to pick..... Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick. -------------

Probably "Foxtrot" - Genesis (Prog) or "Elis & Tom" - Elis Regina singing Tom Jobim (Brazilian music). ------------- Guigo ~~~~~~ |

An album by The Backstreet boys would be a good choice to commit suicide better and not to suffer with only ONE!! album to listen the rest of my life... Too hard question... |

I don't know if that as a joke but they do have a lot of great songs. For me it would be Pendragon -- The Masquerade Overture ------------- “Great things are not accomplished by those who yield to trends and fads and popular opinion.” ~Jack Kerouac |

Probably Tool - Ænima. Or Mars Volta - Frances the Mute. But most likely the Tool album. ------------- With magic, you can turn a frog into a prince. With science, you can turn a frog into a Ph.D. and you still have the frog you started with. |

God this is hard erm either Reinventing Hell-The Best of pantera (RIP Dime, its 1 year round and we still miss ya buddy) or Tool's Laturalus, amybe possibly Pagan's mind. It would depend what mood I was in but probabbly be forced to go with Tool because there are so many differnt ideas in that album plus its very heavy at times. ------------- Prog is music for the mind Hear your Orphaned child!

I don't know I guess it would either be Foxtrot of the Lamb lies down on broadway (just because it has more time of quality music.) It would suck to only have one CD though. ------------- One likes to believe In the freedom of music But glittering prizes And endless Compromises Shatter the illusion Of integrity |

I'd choose The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway It took me four times of listening to like this album but this is it - it must be love |

Oh Bloody Hell. What can i say... No album would suffice, as I would go through a hybrid of emotions, each one would demand a different album. Agree with rosecar... Make my own percussion and bash the hell out of it. ------------- I really like this jacket, but the sleeves are much too long. |

AQUALUNG One of the very few albums where every track is class and the whole concept was just stunning. Was talking about it to a mate the other night and were both agreed on its brilliance and with the content the fact that it would probably be banned today Lets face it " Sitting on a park bench eyeing little girls with bad intent" Not exactly PC is it |

Hmmm...I'd have to say Red (King Crimson) or Hybris (Anglagard)...most likely Hybris because I don't know it as well and becuase it's more i dunno...i guess more interesting to listen to for whatever reason. But then again Red is awesome... ------------- I'm a reasonable man, get off my case |
