What do you think the best prog album titles are, independent of the actual music on the album? Titles that make you think or move you in themselves or that just sound awesome. Some of my favorites: The Light That Dwells In Rotten Wood (Falls of Rauros) The Earth is Not a Cold Dead Place (Explosions In the Sky) Lateralus (Tool) Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven (GY!BE) Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (The Beatles) Feel Euphoria (Spock's Beard) Larks' Tongues in Aspic (King Crimson) |

I tried disregarding music as well as cover art, which was very tough to do. Yes - Tales from Topographic Oceans Porcupine Tree - The Sky Moves Sideways Van Der Graaf Generator - The Least We Can Do Is Wave to Each Other King Crimson - Larks' Tongues in Aspic King Crimson - Starless and Bible Black Genesis - Wind and Wuthering Dream Theater - Systematic Chaos |

I like the titles Dream Theater-Black Clouds & Silver Linings Genesis-Wind & Wuthering Gentle Giant-The Power & The Glory  It is has a good ring to it and the album cover is brilliant in my opinion ------------- “War is peace.

Red * Tales from Topographic Oceans Pawn Hearts Godbluff Still (yeah, the Vandies have some of the best ones) The Quiet Zone / The Pleasure Dome Ashes Are Burning Grace for Drowning The Raven That Refused to Sing Selling England by the Pound Permanent Waves You might expect more to come. * About the tritone: "so named because it spans three whole steps or tones, ... is classed among the most dissonant of the thirteen fundamental intervals in music. (If you turn in your college harmony assignment and have idiotically included a tritone in the final chord, you'll get it back marked in red.) Because of its searingly harsh, problematic sound, the tritone was called the diabolus in musica ('the devil in music') by medieval theorists, and some forbade its use entirely. The King Crimson metaphor -- it goes deeper than one might think." (p. 78 [from Eric Tamm's book Robert Fripp: From King Crimson to Guitar Craft. London: Faber and Faber, 1990]) All of the information is from a book called Avant Rock by Bill Martin. No, I'm not advertising it.

Ágætis Byrjun by Sigur Ros - Translation to English: A Good Beginning. It's so simple, yet so profound and comforting, you know? The phrase really means a lot to mean.

I thought Selling England By The Pound was an excellent title (definitely Genesis' best). Others (as far as prog goes): Harmonium - If There Was A Fifth Season (translated) Sigur Ros - A Good Beginning (Agaetis Byrjun) Steve Hackett - Voyage Of The Acolyte Marillion - Script For A Jester's Tear Yes - Tales From Topographic Oceans Dream Theater - Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From A Memory Porcupine Tree - The Sky Moves Sideways The Moody Blues - In Search Of The Lost Chord Hawkwind - Warrior On The Edge Of Time Atomic Rooster - Death Walks Behind You Van Der Graaf Generator - The Least We Can Do Is Wave At Each Other I also liked the idea of an untitled album (as Led Zeppelin famously did amongst others like Peter Gabriel).
