That would be Take a Pebble for me. It's a combination of its King Crimsonesqueness and not sounding too much like ELP.

I often struggle with all the weak (or rock opera) vocals all over most second tier Prog, so there's quite a few of those sole instrumentals on an album with unappealing vocals that would qualify, but I can't remember any of them right now, except for:

Alusa Fallax - Soliloquio &
Vinegar - Fleisch

I've also got:

Alphataurus - La Mente Vola
New Trolls Atomic System* - La Nuova Predica Di Padre O'Brien
Warm Dust - Blood Of My Fathers
Accolade - Cross Continental Pandemonium Theatre Company
I.D Company - Bum Bum

-and as far as I'm aware of, I only enjoy Agalloch's - The White EP.

With Steely Dan it's similar, but Aja I love.


For Roxy Music, it's "In Every Dream Home A Heartache" (from For Your Pleasure).

For Steely Dan, it's "Do It Again" (from Can't Buy A Thrill).
No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

I used to love Van Damme Generator - really did - but man those vocals haven’t aged well to these ears. I still listen to and love My Room (Waiting For Wonderland).

Used to dig a bit of Dream Theater as well, but the only track I really like these days is Octavarium.

...within the prog-verse, naturally. I'll kick things off:

The Glass Prison - Dream Theater

Definitely not a fan of DT, however that track is really powerful from a composition/execution standpoint - and lyrically hits home.

here's another:

Dogs - Pink Floyd

I really do not like Pink Floyd at all - no need for me to elaborate on the 'why'. Gilmour's guitar work throughout all 17 minutes of 'Dogs' is his finest recorded studio work with the band, IMHO.
