 Topic: My top 10 Albums (not all prog)Posted: August 23 2008 at 20:55 |
|
|
1. Close to the Edge - Yes (undescribable)
2. Metropolis Pt. 2 - Dream Theater (Pure. Musical. Excellence.) 3. Red - King Crimson (Kinda Heavy for KC, but I love it.) 4. Animals - Pink Floyd (MMMMmmmmm.) 5. Physical Graffitti - Led Zeppelin (For classic value; the most perfect zep album.) 6. Relayer - Yes (What can I say) 7. Tales From Topographic Oceans - Yes (I like that it drags out) 8. Obscured by Clouds - Pink Floyd (So underrated) 9. Images and Words - Dream Theater (Awesome.) 10. Moving Pictures - Rush (Rush. :D) Hmmm. Maybe I haven't thought about it enough. |

hm. Think there's another thread somewhere. Might be prog-specific, though.
For me: 1. Larks' Tongues In Aspic The ultimate experience of music. Phenomenal, mind-shaking power meets a sort of lamentful feeling, always quite distant yet personal, insistent. Combining atmosphere with playing with lyrics with some crazy experimental edges that always seem purposeful. 2. H To He, Who Am The Only One 3. Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd 4. In The Court Of The Crimson King - King Crimson 5. Islands - King Crimson 6. Nursery Cryme - Genesis 7. Rubycon - Tangerine Dream 8. Emerson, Lake & Palmer - ELP 9. Ys - Il Balletto Di Bronzo 10. Les Porches - Maneige 11. Thick As A Brick - Jethro Tull (Couldn't be missed) Caress of Steel might clock in at around 20. Edited by TGM: Orb - August 23 2008 at 21:21 |

I can't do Top Lists for Albums, so, in no particular order:
my favorite album is 'Choirs of the Eye' (Kayo Dot) The rest are in the order which I think of them, thus I'm likely leaving obvious entries off -In Absentia/the Sky Moves Sideways (Porcupine Tree) -Lateralus/Aenima (Tool) -Nursery Cryme (Genesis) -Tago Mago (Can) -El Cielo (dredg) -Bath (maudlin of the Well) -Kid A (Radiohead) -Sea of the Dying Dhow (*shels) -Relationship of Command (At the Drive-In) -The Blues and the Abstract Truth (Oliver Nelson) -the Hurting (Tears for Fears) -The Eraser (Thom Yorke) -Moonmadness (Camel) -Skymind (Taal) -Double Figure (Plaid) -Source Tags and Codes/Madonna (...And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead) -Calculating Infinity (The Dillinger Escape Plan) -Blood Inside (Ulver) -F#A#oo (Godspeed You! Black Emperor) -Legend (Henry Cow) -You/Radio Gnome Invisible (Gong) -Of Natural history (Sleepytime Gorilla Museum) -Magick (John Zorn) -Catch 33 (Meshuggah) -The Bees Made Honey in the Giant's Skull (Earth) -Black Earth (Bohren & der Club of Gore) -Du & Jag Döden/Vapen och Ammunition (Kent) -Disco Volante (Mr. Bungle) -The Fall of Math (65daysofstatic) -Onze Danses Pour Combattre La Migraine (Aksak Maboul) -Huono Parturi (Höyry-Kone) -Book of Horizons (Secret Chiefs 3) -Fable OST (Russel Shaw) -Frances the Mute (The Mars Volta) -Kobaīa/Mekanīk Destruktīw Kommandöh/Üdü Wüdü/1001° Centigrades (Magma) -In the Court of the Crimson King/Larks Tongue in Aspic (King Crimson) -Bitches Brew (Miles Davis) -Blood in Our Wells (Drudkh) -Dark Side of the Moon/Animals (Pink Floyd) -Deceit (This Heat) -Waiter You Vultures (Portugal the Man) -Spirit of Eden (Talk Talk) -Dowsing Anemone with Copper Tongue/Blue Lambency Downward (Kayo Dot) -Tabula Rasa (Arvo Pärt) Yes I know that's more than 10, and like I said, I probably left quite a few off... Also, as a note: which of the albums in the topic creator's list isn't prog? At least not according to this site? |

My all time favourite album is Meddle, and given my floydian obsession, I'll list my favourite 10 non-floydian albums instead. So in no particular order:
1) Pictures at an Exhibition - ELP 2) Led Zeppelin IV 3) Close to the Edge - Yes 4) Imagine - John Lennon 5) Abbey Road - The Beatles 6) The Snow Goose - Camel 7) Caravanserai - Santana 8) The First of a Million Kisses - Fairground Attraction 9) Watermark - Enya 10) Deep Purple in Rock |

1) Rush - Moving Pictures
2) Led Zeppelin IV
3) Rush - Permanent Waves
4) Yes - Close to the Edge
5) Rush - Grace Under Pressure
6) Judas Priest - British Steel
7) Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
8) Yes - Fragile
9) ELP - Brain Salad Surgery
10) Metallica - Master of Puppets
Something like that anyhow, although the order is somewhat arbitrary and numerous other albums could be within the list on any given day, including many other Rush albums, Dream Theater's Images and Words, a couple of additional Yes albums, and something as crazy as Huey Lewis and the News' Sports.

What I now consider my all-time fave albums, only one album per artist: 1. Obscured by Clouds - Pink Floyd
2. Islands - King Crimson
3. Come Taste the Band - Deep Purple
4. Zappa in New York - Frank Zappa
5. Tales from Topographic Oceans - Yes
6. Thick as a Brick - Jethro Tull (only because Part 1 is surely one of my all-time fave songs, but as an entire album I prefer APP)
7. Spectrum - Billy Cobham
8. Bajo Belgrano - Spinetta Jade
9. Who Are You - The Who
10. Crime of the Century - Supertramp
For me, all-time fave stands for an album that I can still listen after various months (I really can't speak of years at my age) and still get the same or even a better thrill from it. All-time fave albums are those that you know every single part of it and the whole experience generally brings fonds memories of a certain time, or places you in a unique mood.
